Internet Usage

Does anyone know of any reputable hotel that does not charge for in-room Internet usage? Thanks.

If you are looking on-strip, I don't know of any.

If you are open to where you are staying, there are a couple of Springhill Suites & Fairfield Inn(s) just east of the strip. One near convention center & another set behind Bahama Breeze (I believe straight east on Flamingo).

You would want to call to verify but SS & FI always advertise free internet and a free continental breakfast. They, a Hampton Inn or a Holiday Inn Express, are normally my chain hotels of choice.

Many hotels are now charging a "resort fee" and some do include internet access. There are a few on the strip. If you are going to have to pay it anyhow, at least you are getting wi-fi.

Wow, so nice to see you posting ! The Venetian offers in-room high-speed internet service. They even sent someone up to help me when I wasn't able to get it to work on my lap-top.

I don't know of one, but like Jollymommie, thrilled to see you posting! Challe

Travelocity wireless service is available in most hotels now, but it's costs. It's normally about $10/day, $37/week, or $50/month. I was using it the past few weeks downtown, but I've gotta warn you that the service really sucks. It's purported to be high-speed Internet service, but it's slow and the signal drops often. There isn't a lot tech support can do for you. It's just a lousy technology.

I was totally unable to use my VoIP service with Travelocity wireless. I went to Main Street Station a few times to make phone calls over their free wireless Internet, and it was great service, but I eventually just got a calling card so I could use the regular phone in the room.

This message is coming to you from the free internet connection of the candlewood suites which is off flamingo and paradise. The Clarion Inn and Suites at 325 E Flamingo also includes internet. I do not know of any casinos that include internet into their prices as I'm sure they'd much rather have you downstairs gambling than up in the room on the internet.

My ex roomate and I decided to go to vegas for the remainder of the weekend...and I'll probably stay a few days after that. I didn't realize it was PBR....I've come on PBR like 3 times now....all without realizeing it. Surprisingly it wasn't that crowded off strip last night. I went to Terribles and the Hard Rock and both were not that crowded....they weren't dead mind you...but they weren't wall to wall people like they usuaally are for PBR.

hello again all,
I stayed at the Mirage for two weeks in November,
I could only buy 24 hours access at a time and had to get up every morning between 2 am and 4 to buy more time so that my office could connect to my laptop,
caused my a right load of agro, it cost $10 approx, I would have paid £50 per night just to not hacvve to keep getting up,
kind regards BB

As mentioned all strip hotels I am aware of charge for high speed internet access. Here is an option for you - www.aircardrental.com

This is a 3g card that uses cellular network to connect to the internet - charge is around $5 per day (depends on length of rental). I use them all of the time and the service is great. I have also purchased a "wireless router" from cradlepoint so I actually create a secure wireless hotspot wherever I stay.

Hope this helps,

MrStealth
