What is the hotel occupancy tax rate in Las Vegas?

On the Las Vegas Strip and within the resort corridor, the combined transient lodging tax is 13.38%. Downtown Las Vegas and the rest of Clark County apply 13.00%. The rate bundles the base Clark County lodging tax with additional LVCVA convention-center and tourism levies, which is why the Strip rate is slightly higher.

Does the Las Vegas hotel tax apply to resort fees?

In most cases yes. Las Vegas resort fees are a separate mandatory nightly charge, and the majority of major resorts apply the same transient lodging tax to the resort fee as they do to the room rate. This calculator taxes the resort fee by default, but you can uncheck that option if your specific property does not.

What is a resort fee and why is it separate from the room rate?

A resort fee is a flat mandatory nightly charge — commonly $35 to $55 in Las Vegas — that covers amenities like Wi-Fi, the pool, and the fitness center whether you use them or not. It is quoted separately from the room rate, so the advertised nightly price almost never reflects what you actually pay. This tool adds it back in so you see the true total.

How do I calculate my total Las Vegas hotel bill?

Multiply the nightly room rate by the number of nights for the room subtotal, multiply the nightly resort fee by the nights for the fee total, add them together for the taxable base, multiply by the occupancy tax rate (13.38% on the Strip), then add everything up. For a $159 room with a $45 resort fee over 3 nights on the Strip, the grand total comes to about $694.92.

Why is the Las Vegas Strip rate 13.38% but downtown is 13.00%?

The Strip falls within the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) primary gaming corridor, which carries an additional 0.38% assessment dedicated to convention-center expansion and tourism marketing. Downtown and outlying Clark County properties sit outside that specific assessment district, so their combined transient lodging tax is 13.00%.

Las Vegas Hotel & Occupancy Tax Calculator — 13.38% Strip Rate

The price you see for a Las Vegas hotel is almost never the price you pay. Two extra layers stack on top of the advertised room rate: a transient lodging (occupancy) tax of 13.38% on the Strip and a flat mandatory nightly resort fee. This calculator rebuilds your real bill from the room rate up, applies the correct district tax rate, and shows your grand total and effective cost per night.

How it works

The calculator runs the Clark County lodging-tax math in your browser:

Room subtotal = Nightly rate x Nights Resort fees = Nightly resort fee x Nights Taxable base = Room subtotal + Resort fees (if taxed) Occupancy tax = Taxable base x Tax rate Grand total = Room subtotal + Resort fees + Occupancy tax

The tax rate is 13.38% on the Strip and resort corridor, and 13.00% downtown and across the rest of Clark County. Most major Las Vegas resorts apply the lodging tax to the resort fee as well as the room, so the tool does that by default — uncheck the option if your property is an exception.

Worked example

A $159/night room on the Strip with a $45 resort fee for 3 nights:

Room subtotal: $159 x 3 = $477.00
Resort fees: $45 x 3 = $135.00
Taxable base: $477 + $135 = $612.00
Occupancy tax: $612 x 0.1338 = $81.89
Grand total: $693.89 — about $231.30 per night, not the $159 advertised.

Notes

The Strip’s extra 0.38% over the rest of the county funds the LVCVA convention-center and tourism assessment.
Resort fees are set by each property and change frequently; enter the exact figure from your booking confirmation.
Some bookings (especially third-party and prepaid rates) collect tax on resort fees at check-in rather than at booking — the total is the same, just split across two charges.
