Ostensibly the fee is for access to the pool, etc. In reality it's just a semi-sneaky way to tacking on a few extra dollars to the bill. That's just my opinion, of course. I'm not a fan of resort fees.

I believe you're talking about the much-unloved "resort fees" that are the source of much controversy in the Vegas hotel world. The Monte Carlo does charge one (as of Aug. 18, 2010), running $12.95 per night before tax.

Helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon are great, Dereck. The canyon itself is a very impressive site, and copter tours can take you right down in it with just a short flight from Vegas. Whey they aren't, though, is cheap. They're worth the money, but they're definitely a big splurge for some travelers.

If the cost of a helicopter tour is too much, consider an airplane flyover tour. It's not as memorable, because you can't get below the rim, but it's a fast trip and usually a little less costly than the copter tours.

And there are always bus tours. They're also fun, but you'll need to set aside pretty much a full day for the trip out and back.
