Democrats in Nevada’s congressional delegation say they support President Joe Biden’s bid to outlaw so-called “junk fees” that can translate into higher costs for American consumers.
But they draw an important distinction for Nevada’s tourism industry: Resort operators on the Las Vegas Strip and elsewhere in Nevada make full disclosure of pricing for their services, including daily resort fees that are added to the cost of a room.
During his State of the Union address Tuesday before a joint session of Congress, Biden announced proposed legislation called the Junk Fee Prevention Act, aimed at banning surprise charges ranging from overdraft fees to undisclosed costs when purchasing airline and concert tickets.
