* Maybe a $5 per stay or
something like that would be appropriate. I would not be interested in
paying $10 a day or some inflated price. W Koons Detroit, MI
* Hello,
I am from Ireland I have been going to Vegas on holidays for a number of years
on average twice yearly. The prices of everything in my opinion have gone up
in a price a lot over the last number of years. The last Hotel scam was an
energy surcharge. No doubt that they will now jump on the bandwagon again
& put a surcharge in place for water. The next Hotel scam that could then
be on the way is a surcharge for too many hours of sunshine in the day. The
sunshine is costing us too much for cleaning our windows. I honesty think that
the big Hotel organizations are killing Las Vegas as they buy out all the
small Hotels & Casinos one by one. The standard of food particularly in
buffets are getting worse each time I visit Las Vegas, but the prices keep on
going up. I still love the buzz when I get to Vegas, but the City is been
taken over by the big organizations. Michael Weldon
* That
would be a small price to pay to enjoy everything that Las Vegas has to
offer. I would gladly pay a few dollars to make sure that Las Vegas
remains a fun place to visit. Hank T.
* No
"Surcharges" -- for water, electricity or anything else! The
price quoted for the room should be the cost of the room -- and what
I see should be what I get. If more costs are involved, add it to the
cost of the room and don't try to hide it or trick me into paying hidden
charges! Bill Rose Cody, WY
* I think things cost enough
already, and either the casinos or someone else should pickup the tab. There's
plenty of water nearby, so run another pipe to the Hoover Dam.. Justin
Pressley
* I am totally opposed to surcharges of any kind. These
items are a cost of doing business and should be included in the quoted price
of the room. Ron D.
* Yes, I would be against a room surcharge for water,
their is already one on electric, that I think is ridiculous No there place
charges that. It will hurt your tourism. Thanks Betsy
* DEFINITELY NO WATER SURCHARGE. Drain all the man made
lakes, ponds, water displays, swimming pools, at all the hotel/casinos before
even thinking about a room surcharge for water. A room surcharge will not
produce more water, but draining will. I, for one will not come back to Vegas,
if a room surcharge for water is imposed. Robert Bliss
* I would not mind paying a one time fee (say 3-5
dollars) per stay. I usually buy bottled water and the fee for
showers/baths/etc. MIGHT be needed and I wouldn't mind if it was a low,
one-time per stay. But let's not get on the bandwagon with "energy
surcharge", "cooling (a/c) surcharge", "heating
surcharge", etc. It's the PRICE of the room for the week or however
long the stay is. Opinion: one time charge per stay. Jim L.
* I would be extremely upset by a water surcharge just
as I was about an energy surcharge. Hotels would be much better off to simply
raise their room rates to compensate for added costs and quit playing games
with paying customers. Donald Marburger
* In California we have the "energy"
surcharge...when the crisis was over (we no longer have brown outs etc. and
energy costs are back to normal) the hotels keep the surcharge for profit.
This will happen in Vegas. Besides, they get lots of profit off of us at the
slot machines. One place that is not hurting for money to pay for the water is
Las Vegas! NO! Heather
* Regarding the water issue. As I've never been to Las Vegas,
and don't even know what to expect in terms of total cost (rooms, meals,
entertainment, travel) then I certainly would not be opposed to a water
tax/surcharge. If this would help conserve water and provide for a
more adequate water supply, then I would say "go for it."
