You may be right about the room tax thing. I’d also be willing to bet that with a hidden room tax, a property’s rates appear to be lower on search engines like Kayak and Expedia. I think the strategy is similar with airlines that charge baggage fees.
with Respect to Total Rewards did you say the credits were worth less or did you mean worthless. Won’t be long.

When I stayed at Mirage 2 years ago, they added a tax to the resort fee charge.
I completely agree with the smell at Aria. It is so overpowering, I cannot even gamble there. I think it smells like an old time perfume… Musk!
Okay, now you’re attacking Elton john and the Eagles!!
is there anyone left?
I personally love the sent when walking into the main entrance of NYNY… But maybe because I know the sent means my vacation has officially begun every time I go there.
