Any place in Las Vegas provide 802.11b access to the public?

[Yzzim]

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

You might try war driving forums out there to see if there any hot spots for wireless internet in Vegas.

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?

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.

Some schlotzki's (sp?) deli's provide free wireless access.
