Recent Resort-Fee Clash Echoes Planners’ Frustrations
fees
August 20, 2019 via Meetings Net

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.
