I want to know what my current screen resolution is. Where do I find this? I looked in System Preferences, Displays, and it does not show the current resolution. I also looked for a small display icon at the right side of the menu bar, but it has disappeared since installing Mavericks, and there is no option in Display Preferences to show that icon again.

Click on Apple icon on left top.
About This Mac --> More Info... --> Display
You should see the resolution there.

All these answers are good but the fastest way to find the mac resolution is to do SHIFT + COMMAND + 4 (screenshot shortcut). Move the cursor to the bottom right to get the coordinates.
Press SHIFT + COMMAND + 4 with the cursor in the bottom right corner

The Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info... Displays gets my vote. If you have multiple monitors attached, it will show each by brand and resolution.
Let us not forget the application Display Menu in the OS X App Store. It is free, parks in the menu bar, and does what its name suggests. It is Mavericks compatible.
Gee, none of those correct answers deserved a thanks or a "this helped me"?

I accidently discovered the resolution of my new rMBP 13" the other day when I was checking on something else. Take a full screen shot (command-shift-3), then open it in Preview, go to menu item Tools and select Show Inspector. At the bottom it gives image size in pixels and the Image DPI.
Yeah, I know. But the Displays menu extra no longer shows the available resolutions.

PS--If all you want is the size in pixels you go to About This Mac in the Apple menu, click the More Info button, then the Displays tab.

They seem to have replaced it with the Mirroring menu.
Ah, that's what that menu bar icon is! I had my rMBP connected to the TV yesterday and subsequently noticed a peculiar sort-of display icon had appeared, and figured it had something to do with the TV, but it wasn't clear what.
I wonder how many different ways there are to get the answer to the question? I know that most Mac things have at least two or three different ways to accomplish the same thing. So far we're up to three..... Anymore?

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! Alright! Counting the free Display Menu submitted by VikingOSX (which I am going to get right now) we are up to 5 different methods to accomplish the same thing! Of course, as a graphic artist I like mine because you get the DPI too, but I suppose I'll be accused of bias.... š

If you switch to "scaled" it will list the selected resolution. I couldn't find a place to show that menu any more. They seem to have replaced it with the Mirroring menu.
Always a way in Terminal: system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType
What is my screen resolution
