Nate covers the money side of downtown Las Vegas. He reads the booking pages so you don’t have to, keeps a running list of every resort fee on Fremont Street, and has a low opinion of any price that isn’t the price. His rule for the column: every claim about cost comes with the number, the date it was observed, and the hotel’s own page you can check it against.

He writes the Value section, the booking-window guides, and the occasional note on why a Tuesday in August and a Saturday in November are two different cities.
