UPDATE: the website was not correct…. it is now working and it is only charging $26 for taxes. Resort fee was around $78.

=========


Is that normal?

Looking to go for 2 nights in November. For 1 King bed, regular room:

Room Rate = $434/night
Taxes/Fees = $286/night

$434/night alone is preposterous for a city the size of Lake Charles

Not to me, this further validates my game plan.

I’ve made it my life’s work to not ever find myself at a “Golden Nugget”.

So far I’ve been successful.

I’ve been told with absolute certainty that Louisiana is a low tax state though?

I’m sure they are rolling “resort fees” into the totals.

You can go to Vegas with flights cheaper than that.

For that price you could stay at Hackberry Rod and Gun and get a fishing trip out of it.

Most of DFW now heads to Oklahoma instead of Shreveport/Bossier, but Lake Charles still pulls in all of the Houston area Texans.
