I'm heading to Las Vegas tomorrow with my girlfriend and her family. We plan to be there a week and it would be excellent if I could find a spot that has an 802.11b connection so I can jump online quick and not miss a bunch while being on vacation.

We're staying at Polo Towers and I didn't find anything on their website about it. Did a quick search and Google and didn't come up with anything either.

There has to be some place out there that has access for free/dang cheap.

Not sure about wireless but many rooms in the decent motels are wired with cat 5 drops in the rooms.

wired would work as well. Hmm....suppose I should bring along some cat5 cable now. Never crossed my mind that the room might be wired. Thanks :)

If you have a cell phone you might be able to use it to connect to the Internet.

I used it recently while I was traveling. Nothing beats talking on aol IM when you're going 80 mph! :)

Heh, I'll be in the same predicament as you next week - heading to Vegas to Polo Towers and wondering where to find some good WiFi. I heard that McDonald's was putting in 802.11b in a few of its more popular restaurants, perhaps this includes the one on the strip in Las Vegas?

if I can find some spots I'll you know where they are elanarchist.

I'm hoping there's some coffee shops out there that might have a wireless connection.

Exactly, I wouldn't trust my laptop in my hotel room or carrying it around with me in the scorching heat.
