Las Vegas visitors sue the Strip\u0027s biggest hotels over room prices

Hotel operators used to try to fill all their rooms, even if it meant discounting them. With the adoption of the pricing algorithms, the hotels boost room prices, while accepting the loss of revenue from unrented suites, according to the lawsuit. Travel Weekly found that Las Vegas visitors “paid the highest average daily room rate” in the city’s history in September, “a trend that will likely continue,” the lawyers wrote.Article content
