I was recently in vegas. You can get hotel rooms cheap, but they have the tax and entertainment fee's that add up quickly. My problem with AirBnB was the $200 cleaning fee for a two night stay.

So far, it's been extremely hit or miss for me. I've found VRBO/Homeaway to be better for vacations.

$200 is pretty steep but it's not that unusual for vacation-type properties (whether booked through AirBnB or someone else) that don't offer daily maid service to have a nightly fee plus a one-time cleaning fee. I imagine that this is partly to encourage longer-term rentals and partly it just reflects their costs.

And, yeah, Vegas is notorious for tacking on mandatory resort fees.

Aren't the cleaning fees set by the host?
Yes. And it doesn't show up when you sort by price.
Reminds me of ebay back in the day - item price 1c delivery charge 10 bucks
