Of the 39 Las Vegas hotels in our resort-fee list whose listing we read, October 2, 2026. “State no age” means the listing is silent, not that any age is welcome.

Questions people ask

Can you check in to a Las Vegas hotel at 18?
Some hotels say so. Hampton Inn Tropicana states a minimum check-in age of 18 in its listing, while 12 of the 39 hotels we read say 21. 26 state no age, which is not a promise that they will check in an 18-year-old: ask the hotel.
Do Las Vegas hotels take a deposit at check-in?
10 of the 39 hotels we read say they hold money on your card at check-in, and 9 give the amount, from $50.00 a night to $150.00 a night. 1 say a hold is taken without the amount. The other listings say only that a deposit may be required, which is not a promise either way.

What each Las Vegas hotel charges as a resort fee is on Las Vegas resort fees, and how the fees and the room tax add up is in the Las Vegas resort fee guide; every other city we have read is in hotel check-in age, city by city.
