RESORT FEES
Resort fees at Bellagio, Aria, Vdara and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas will increase $5 to $55 per day. The daily resort fee at MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Delano, Park MGM, Nomad and The Signature will go up to $50, an increase of $5 for the first three and $8 for the latter trio. New York-New York, Luxor and Excalibur will charge a resort fee of $45, which represents a $3 increase for New York-New York and an $8 jump for the other two.
PARKING
Self-park visitors will pay $20 Monday through Thursday (currently $18) and $25 on the weekends (Friday through Sunday; currently $23). Self-park hotel guests will be charged $20 on all days, up $2 from the current pricing.
Valet parking for hotel guests and visitors will be $40 at all properties. Presently, valet parking charges range from $25 to $40, depending on the property and day of the week.
MGM Rewards members with pearl tier status or higher can self-park for free, and free valet parking is earned at the gold tier status or above.
Parking remains free for all active United States military, veterans and spouses through MGM Rewards Military & Veterans Program (MVP).
Locals with a valid Nevada identification card can continue parking for free for up to three hours at all MGM Resorts properties.
My comment: Assume others will promptly follow.
That's interesting as resort fees are a service fee and services are usually not taxable.
Edit: I learned that lodging taxes are different from sales tax in that way.
Found this document on the county web site which describes what is and not subject to lodging tax.

So what is comes down to is resort fees are considered the same as room fees in Nevada and their sole purpose it seems, was to screw with reservation systems and deceive patrons.

Just gamble enough to get free rooms/no resort fees/no parking fees. All it takes is a couple blackjack sessions.
I noticed they eliminated the one hour of free parking for everyone when I left the other night after stopping at Aria real quick. Free for me but that would be real annoying to be charged $25 if you were in and out in less than an hour.
