What the resort fee and room rate include — and what costs extra

What the resort fee typically covers

The resort fee is mandatory and charged per night; it bundles several commonly used services so you don’t have to pay separately at check‑in for those items. The fee is distinct from the nightly room rate and is charged by the hotel regardless of which rate you booked.

Included items listed by the property and third‑party sources include internet, fitness access and some parking/transport perks. These are the features most travelers can expect to be covered by the resort fee:

• In‑room high‑speed/wireless internet (rooms and public areas)
• Complimentary fitness center access (general hotel gym; Spa Aquae premium areas may be governed by spa access rules)
• Valet parking (noted as included in the resort fee)
• Complimentary shuttle service to Fashion Show Mall
• Recreational equipment and activities (daily bike rental for two for one hour, lawn games like bocce/volleyball/horseshoes)

What room rates include (and what they don’t)

The room rate covers the accommodation you booked — for example Deluxe Room, Balcony; Deluxe Room; Junior Studio; Junior Suite, Patio; Suite, 1 Bedroom; Signature Room; or Signature Suite, 2 Bedrooms — plus standard in‑room features and housekeeping (housekeeping is available on request).

Room rate does not automatically include the mandatory resort fee, food, alcoholic or non‑alcoholic beverages, spa treatments, cabana rentals, or paid parking upgrades. If you need specific inclusions such as breakfast or dining credits, they must be part of a rate plan or added separately at booking.

If you want more clarity at booking, ask whether a rate is labeled as “room rate” only or as a package that includes meals or credits; the property’s standard practice is that meals are not included in base rates.

• Rooms include standard bedding and in‑room Wi‑Fi (resort fee covers high‑speed)
• Housekeeping provided; special requests may carry extra charges
• Special services (late check‑out, early check‑in) may be available for a fee

Spa, pool and fitness — what’s included vs. paid extras

Spa Aquae is a large wellness complex at the resort; some fitness and spa services are included in the resort fee, while many Spa Aquae amenities and treatments are paid separately. The spa maintains an adult‑oriented (18+) atmosphere and requires photo ID for entry.

Hotel guests pay a separate spa facility/access fee for full Spa Aquae use (not the same as the resort fee) unless a qualifying spa treatment makes that access complimentary. Treatments, private services and the Hydro Lounge co‑ed hydrotherapy pool use carry their own charges and an automatic service charge on spa services.

• Spa facility/access fee for hotel guests (example: $25) — charged separately from the resort fee
• Spa treatments (massages, facials, Shirodhara Ritual) are paid services; an 18% service charge is typically added
• Hydro Lounge pool and certain ritual areas are covered by the spa fee, not always by the resort fee

Poolside services, cabanas and seasonal notes

The resort’s main outdoor waterfall pool is seasonal and offers loungers, a pool bar and food service; the resort fee does not include cabana rentals, poolside food or most pool‑side services. Cabanas, private daybeds and reserved spots are available for a surcharge.

Because the main outdoor pool operates seasonally, availability for swimming, cabanas and poolside dining depends on the time of year; confirm seasonal hours before you travel. Poolside food & beverage and some entertainment (DJ, evening events) are typically pay‑as‑you‑go.

Dining, bars and other paid services

JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa has many on‑site restaurants and bars (Hawthorn Grill, ai Pazzi, ai Pazzi Pizza, Pearls Oyster & Crudo Bar, Nom Wah, Wineaux, For the Win, Tacos 1986, Jade Asian Kitchen, Market Place Buffet, Waterside Cafe, Earl Grey Café, Starbucks). Meals and drinks at these outlets are charged separately from both the room rate and the resort fee.

Some outlets run promotions (for example, happy hours or brunch offers), but unless a dining credit is part of your specific rate, plan to pay for each meal. The Market Place Buffet and Earl Grey Café have published hours and service types; check current menus and times with the hotel or concierge.

• All restaurants and bars charge separately; check operating hours (Earl Grey Café is open 24 hours)
• Market Place Buffet, Waterside Cafe and other venues have their own hours and policies
• Happy hour (resort‑wide) runs daily 4–6 p.m. with select discounts — still pay at the venue

Parking, shuttles and transport — what's covered

Self‑parking is complimentary for registered hotel guests, while valet parking is included as part of the resort fee. The property has historically offered a complimentary shuttle to Fashion Show Mall on the Strip; airport shuttle service is not standard and should be confirmed directly with the hotel.

If you plan to drive or rent a car, note the resort sits in Summerlin with on‑site parking and an EV charging station; local car or rideshare costs for trips to the Strip, airport or Red Rock Canyon are not covered by the resort fee.
