In short: Las Vegas hotels without resort fees
A block off the Strip: Marriott's Grand Chateau (9.4 on Hotels.com) and Club Wyndham Grand Desert (9.0) on East Harmon Avenue. Both are suite towers with pools and no resort fee.
Near the Convention Center and the Sphere: Courtyard by Marriott (9.0) and SpringHill Suites (8.8) on Paradise Road.
South Strip, free parking: Home2 Suites by Hilton Las Vegas Strip South (9.4) and Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas Strip South (8.8).
Near the airport: Residence Inn (9.4), Hampton Inn & Suites (9.2) and Homewood Suites (8.8), all within ten minutes of the terminals.
East of the Strip: Desert Rose Resort (9.4), suites with kitchens near Tropicana Avenue.
Last checked: 10 November 2026, on Hotels.com.
Nearly every resort on the Strip adds a resort fee at check-in, charged per room per night on top of the rate you paid when you booked. At the big resorts it runs from about 45 to 55 dollars a night before tax. It covers wifi, the pool and the gym whether you use them or not. On a three-night stay it adds the price of a fourth night at a cheaper hotel.
Federal rules now require the total price, fees included, to be shown before you book, and Hotels.com lists every mandatory fee on the hotel page. That makes it possible to do what this guide does: list the hotels in Las Vegas where that section is empty. Every hotel below showed no resort fee or mandatory fee on Hotels.com on 10 November 2026, and every one is rated 8.8 or higher by guests. Fees change, so check the "Fees" section on the listing before you book.
Hotels with no resort fee a block off the Strip
Marriott's Grand Chateau, 75 E Harmon Avenue
Grand Chateau is a timeshare tower behind Planet Hollywood that rents suites by the night, and the walk to the Strip takes five minutes. The suites have one to three bedrooms, a full kitchen and a washer and dryer, there are two outdoor pools, and there is no casino. More than 3,400 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.4, which makes it the highest-rated hotel in this guide. Parking is valet only, charged per day.
Club Wyndham Grand Desert, 265 E Harmon Avenue
Two blocks further east on Harmon, Grand Desert is another timeshare resort that works like a hotel, with three outdoor pools, suites with kitchens and free self-parking. The Strip is a ten-minute walk, or a short drive, and the quiet at night is the point. More than 1,500 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.0. Pets are not allowed.
Desert Rose Resort, 5051 Duke Ellington Way
Desert Rose is an all-suite resort a mile east of the Strip near Tropicana Avenue, with kitchens in every suite, a pool and free parking. It is the kind of place that fills with families and people in town for a week, and the rate reflects the lack of a casino. Nearly 1,500 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.4. The airport is ten minutes by car.
Near the Convention Center and the Sphere
Courtyard by Marriott Las Vegas Convention Center, 3275 Paradise Rd
The Courtyard sits across Paradise Road from the Convention Center, a ten-minute walk from the Sphere, with an outdoor pool, a bistro and no casino. More than 1,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.0. Two pets up to 50 pounds are allowed, and parking is charged per day.
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Las Vegas Convention Center, 2989 Paradise Road
SpringHill Suites is a block north of the Courtyard, with suites that have a sitting area and a small refrigerator, free breakfast and a pool. It is rated 8.8 by more than 1,000 guests on Hotels.com. Covered self-parking is charged per day, and pets are not allowed.
South Strip, with free parking
Home2 Suites by Hilton Las Vegas Strip South, 7740 Las Vegas Blvd South
Home2 Suites is four miles south of Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Boulevard, near the Welcome to Las Vegas sign and the South Point. Every room is a suite with a kitchen, breakfast is included, parking is free and dogs and cats up to 40 pounds are welcome. Guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.4 across 1,000 reviews. You need a car for the Strip.
Hilton Garden Inn Las Vegas Strip South, 7830 Las Vegas Blvd S
Next door to Home2 Suites, the Hilton Garden Inn has a pool, a restaurant, free parking and an off-leash area for dogs. More than 1,000 guests on Hotels.com rate it 8.8. It is the practical base for a road trip that passes through Las Vegas rather than a stay on the Strip.
Near the airport
Residence Inn Las Vegas Airport, 7690 Las Vegas Blvd South
The Residence Inn is on Las Vegas Boulevard south of the airport, with suites that have full kitchens, free breakfast and a pool. Guests on Hotels.com rate it 9.4, with around 580 reviews. Two pets up to 25 pounds are allowed. Parking is charged per day.

What Picolo chooses
What Picolo chooses: Marriott's Grand Chateau for a stay a block from the Strip, and the Courtyard Convention Center for the Sphere and the Convention Center. Home2 Suites Strip South for a road trip with a car.
Why: Grand Chateau is the highest-rated hotel without a resort fee in Las Vegas, at 9.4, and the only one within a five-minute walk of the Strip. The Courtyard is the closest fee-free hotel to the Sphere. Home2 Suites adds free parking and breakfast to the saving.
The trade-off: none of these hotels has a casino, a spa or a show, and most charge for parking. If you want the Strip resort experience, the resort fee is part of the price.
What a resort fee covers, and what it does not
The fee is set by the hotel, not by Hotels.com, and it is paid at the hotel. At most Strip resorts it covers wifi, access to the pool and the fitness center, and sometimes a daily credit for coffee or a phone call. It does not cover parking, which is charged separately at most resorts, and it does not cover the pool cabanas or the spa. The fee is charged per room per night regardless of how many guests stay, so a family of four in one room pays the same as one person. Since the amount changes and differs between resorts, we do not list fees for the resorts that charge them. The "Fees" section on the Hotels.com listing shows the current figure for any hotel.

Frequently asked questions about resort fees in Las Vegas
Which Las Vegas hotels have no resort fee?
Ten hotels rated 8.8 or higher on Hotels.com listed no resort fee on 10 November 2026. They are Marriott's Grand Chateau, Club Wyndham Grand Desert and Desert Rose Resort near the Strip, the Courtyard and SpringHill Suites near the Convention Center, Home2 Suites and Hilton Garden Inn on the south Strip, and the Residence Inn, Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites near the airport.
Do any hotels on the Las Vegas Strip have no resort fee?
Almost none of the resorts on Las Vegas Boulevard itself. The closest fee-free hotels are a block east of the Strip on Harmon Avenue, Marriott's Grand Chateau and Club Wyndham Grand Desert, and on Paradise Road near the Convention Center. From Grand Chateau the Strip is a five-minute walk through Planet Hollywood.
How much is the resort fee in Las Vegas?
At the large Strip resorts the fee runs from about 45 to 55 dollars per room per night before tax, and lower at smaller hotels off the Strip. The exact amount is set by each hotel and changes, so check the Fees section of the Hotels.com listing for the hotel you want before you book.
Can you refuse to pay a resort fee in Las Vegas?
Not at a hotel that charges one. The fee is mandatory and is listed in the booking terms and on the Hotels.com page before you pay. The only way to avoid it is to choose a hotel that does not charge one, such as the hotels in this guide.
Is the resort fee included in the price on Hotels.com?
The total shown before you book includes the room rate and taxes. The mandatory resort fee is listed separately on the hotel page under Fees, because the hotel collects it at check-in or check-out. Read that section for every Las Vegas hotel, since the figure differs from resort to resort.
What does a Las Vegas resort fee include?
Usually wifi, pool access and the fitness center, and at some resorts a daily credit for coffee, a newspaper or a phone call. It does not include parking, which most Strip resorts charge separately, nor cabanas, the spa or breakfast. The fee is per room, not per guest.
Are hotels without a resort fee cheaper overall in Las Vegas?
Often, yes, for a stay of two nights or more, because the fee can add the equivalent of an extra night over a three-night stay. The hotels without one are mostly suite hotels and timeshare towers without a casino, so you give up the show and the spa for a kitchen and a quieter night.
