Resort-Fee Clash + Personal Appearance + CCPA + Fair Workweek

The past few months have been quite contentious between properties that impose resort fees—including many meetings-heavy hotels and resorts in Las Vegas and the Caribbean—and online guest-room booking engines owned by Booking Holdings: Booking.com, Priceline, Kayak, and Agoda.

In May, Booking Holdings announced that on June 1 it would start calculating commissions based not only on the guest-room rate but also on the resort fee attached to a room, contending that properties keep room rates artificially low by using the resort-fee structure, in addition to appearing higher in price-based search rankings. In return, several hospitality brands, including Golden Nugget (Las Vegas; Atlantic City; Biloxi, Miss.; and Laughlin, Nev.), Wynn and Encore in Las Vegas, and a dozen Red Rock Resorts–affiliated brands in Las Vegas, stopped providing room inventory to Booking.com.
