I loved it I loved it I loved it. The person who had this brain storm should be commended and patted on the back over and over again. The videos of the show girls walking down the Vegas strip protesting the resort fees were actually speaking for us also. The resort fees were stupid and just what the greedy owners of the other hotels tried to make them sound like they were really needed to help keep the hotels opened. Come on now when you are the four and five star hotels and you are all ready charging at least two hundred dollars a night ano they want to add on an extra hundred dollars or more depeding on your length of stay . What makes me laugh is some people buy into it and pay the fees. Old saying they have more dollars than SENSE.
I say stick those fees right up your hotels owners you know what and do as I do stay in the middle of the strip at Paris or Caesars and enjoy the Bellagio fountains without paying a resort fee.

I think it was mainly a big publicity stunt by Harrahs corp.. Not that I don't agree, I see the business end of the stunt, more then any REAL protest. I'm sure those show girls where on the clock, being paid to do the protesting.

I agree Lee but at the same time it is a great stunt. It makes all the other hotels look really greedy. Long story shortened. It was a live commerical that made the HET/CET (NOT SURE OF THE CORRECT NAME )hotels look really good

Of course it was marketing. The strip or parts of the strip do shut down about 10-15 times a year for publicity stunts. All in the name of advertisement. NASCAR does it twice a year. Barrett Jackson does it. New shows opening or shows changing hotels sometimes do it.

The tourist on foot, ALWAYS get a kick out of seeing car traffic stop and something parade in front of them. Whether they like cars or not, whether they like Caesars Entertainment or not, it gives the tourist a tall tale to take home.

The best part of the stunt was the showgirls made standing out in that sun a whole lot easier.
