We all hate those nasty resort fees and one thing I don't think some travelers realize is that while they are mandatory nightly charges, you can (politely) ask to have it removed from your bill if things go wrong during your stay or one of the "perks'' listed as covered by the resort fee isn't available while you're there. The wifi was awful on a recent hotel stay in Las Vegas, on a trip where I had to work, and I had the charge removed. (Ditto for inflight wifi issues, btw.) In Florida last year, the beachfront hotel where I stayed listed beach chairs and pool perks and both were closed on my one night stay. Make sure you ask when you're at the property because they generally won't do it after the fact. --Dawn
