Las Vegas hotel slammed after guest stuck with outrageous bill for a bottle of water
It’s not just slot machines that are fleecing people.
A Las Vegas hotel is being lambasted mercilessly online after charging nearly $30 for a bottle of water from room minibars. The apparent H20 highway robberies came to light via photos and a fan submission shared by the travel blog A View From the Wing.
The unidentified guest had reportedly been staying at the Aria Resort & Casino — one of over 30 MGM resorts — where room rates start at $280 per night.

According to the post, an employee had been restocking and cleaning out their room’s minibar, which the visitor noted had “food crammed in the fridge from two guests ago.”

The worker informed the visitor that water costs $26, but only told them after the guest had consumed a full bottle, the poster wrote. That constituted more than 10% of the person’s total bill of $259, according to a screenshot of their invoice.
To make matters worse, the same water reportedly costs just $7.45 at a Starbucks downstairs.
While hotel minibars are known for their extortionate markups, some Aria guests noted that the other items in the fridge were not nearly as steep.

, shared a photo of a hotel minibar menu showing a Coca-Cola Deluxe that cost $13.75, nearly half as much as the Fiji Water, which set guests back a whopping $24.75.

“Do you think it’s fair to pay for the convenience, or this is price gouging?” the traveler spluttered in the caption.
Commenters were similarly perplexed over the price tags, with one writing, “Was just there. I was floored.”

“This is the perfect example of the kind of out of sample cost that makes people feel cheated on a Las Vegas trip, leaving customers with a bad taste in their mouth,” said A View From The Wing writer Gary Leff. Mangostar – stock.adobe.com
