It’s been more than two months since Desiree Stokes Blum appeared before the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority board of directors with a recommendation for resorts to place a moratorium on resort fees to spur interest in travel to Southern Nevada.
As summer vacation time melts into the fall, only one property — Resorts World Las Vegas — has removed fees as well as temporarily ended charges for parking.
Blum, CEO of EIG Inc., doing business as Escalante Inc., a travel consultant offering personalized inbound U.S. destination services for clients of the international tour and travel trade, suggested a broad moratorium to capture the attention of consumers who are convinced that Las Vegas isn’t the value it once was.
