Some Station casinos are now charging a "resort fee" ranging from $4.95 to $20 (Red Rock). I am charged this fee at Santa Fe and Sunset if I use a mailed offer from marketing. These offers are a result of VP play and the front desk will not relent on the charge for me anyway. I consider this fee to be one of the great ripoffs in Las Vegas.
