Hotel lobby stores are now using dynamic pricing too
- Las Vegas is experiencing a decline in tourist numbers, partly attributed to rising costs and add-on fees.
- Dynamic pricing in hotel lobby stores, including Caesars Palace and MGM Grand, is a significant concern, with prices fluctuating and only revealed at the till.
- Visitors have reported paying significantly different prices for the same items on consecutive days, such as a Snickers and Gatorade costing $10 and then $14.
- Travel expert Michael Trager criticises this practice, arguing that, unlike online bookings, physical stores should display clear prices for consumers.
- Other factors contributing to the tourism downturn include a 'Trump slump' impacting international travel due to high-profile deportation cases, alongside general high costs and various fees.
