Similar story about high prices. Fees on top of parking fees. A charge on your credit card if you OPEN the room refrigerator and don't take anything else.

The payback rate on slot machines went from the 90's to mid 80's. Service fees on top of ordering anything from a hot dog to a steak dinner.

Extra service fees for service without any service can run a $100 or so per day, per visitor to the city.

the idea is, suck as much $$$ as you can out of the rubes.
