President Joe Biden Visits Las Vegas, Opposes Hidden Junk Fees
The President revealed that his office plans to eliminate junk fees that companies impose to rip people off

Additional fees that are often used to inflate the price of hotel and resort accommodation are also referred to as junk fees. Every year, millions of Americans planning their vacation are unpleasantly surprised by such fees, some of which are not disclosed until the very last moment, leaving them without any options but to comply and pay extra.
In Las Vegas, junk fees are also popular as resort fees and can significantly increase the final costs for reservations, creating an unpleasant experience for visitors. But thanks to President Joe Biden, junk fees may soon be eliminated.
Recently, the US president visited Sin City as a part of a campaign and voiced his discontent with junk fees on social media. Using X, the popular platform that was previously called Twitter, President Biden wrote: “We’ve made progress, but there is much more work to do to lower costs for American families.” Moreover, he added: “That’s why I’m taking action to bring down the price of insulin, prescription drugs, and energy and eliminating hidden junk fees companies use to rip you off.”
President Biden did not go into detail about the essence of the aforementioned junk fees. However, in a separate post on Monday, he criticized companies for using junk fees to take extra money from the pockets of hard-working citizens. President Biden is yet to confirm how the hidden junk fees would be eliminated.
“When companies sneak hidden junk fees into families’ bills, it can take hundreds of dollars a month out of their pockets and make it harder to make ends meet. That might not matter to the wealthy, but it’s real money to hardworking families—and it’s just plain wrong,“
wrote President Joe Biden on X
The Fight Against Junk Fees Continues
This is not the first time President Biden aimed at eliminating junk fees. Back in September, he once again raised concerns about the deceptive prices that are inflated for consumers with the help of additional, hidden fees. At the time, President Biden vowed that his administration “is working to crack down on those junk fees so you know what you are paying for upfront.”
Elsewhere on a similar matter, three lawsuits filed against casino and resort operators in Atlantic City were consolidated into one. The lawsuits alleged that six casinos in Atlantic City engaged in anticompetitive actions, inflating the hotel room rates in the city.
