My gripe: WI-FI fees at LV resorts !

Perhaps the following would be of interest. No idea if its complete or currently maintained.
I think there is also something called OverDrive.

It does seem that this is an issue with people and that walking from the strip to Tuscany to check email is something some people seem to be doing. This is not for the Tuscany's 11.00 a day charge for internet access but for the free wifi that is available in most of the common areas. Seeking out other strip hotspots seems important to consumers. The Stratosphere offers, I'm told, free wifi at the coffee lounge's exterior comfortable chairs, no hassles for relatively long term use. Some people actually patronize the Plaza because it offers Turner Classic Movies on the TV, a strange decision-making feature for a vacation but if people value such things then so be it. I'm sure free wifi will become a decision making issue for some.

One casino in Biloxi offered this lobby area kiosk that was solely for email, but it was so slow and was often broken.

I don't know what is available at the various Business Centers in casinos if you just want a few minutes of solely email checking rather than more substantial internet use.

Resort Fees often involve in room internet access. Resort fees are usually NOT included in Kayak's Rank By Price command so its hard to sort by actual price, only by nominal price. When a hotel wholesales its rooms to Priceline or something similar, the hotel often retains the internet access income.

I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me if I can easily stay off the net for a whole week at a time ;)

There most certainly is. Internet withdrawal symptoms usually set in after 18 hours and after five days death takes place!

The list I posted is my own and can be copied. I just went to the McDonalds website and the Starbucks website and listed the locations with free wi-fi (not all McDonalds or Starbucks have wi-fi).

Starbucks only made wi-fi completely unrestricted in July 2010 (in response to competition from McDonalds and others).

Emergency Arts in downtown Las Vegas has a facebook page, but not a website per se:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=208530024617 . They are using the free wi-fi. It's a good place for coffee and fresh yogurt. Sometimes the councilman from that district stops by to chat.

The lobby areas of some casinos (like Main Street Casino and Tuscany) deserves some special mention. For those people who find it vital, it would determine the choice of some hotels. If you factor in $18 a day for access, then it makes these rooms seem much less inexpensive.

All Apple stores are supposed to have open wi-fi:

Fashion Show - 3200 Las Vegas Boulevard South
The Forum Shops - 3500 Las Vegas Blvd South, Caesars Palace
Town Square - 6671 Las Vegas Boulevard South
The only other Apple store in Nevada is in Reno - Summit Sierra


Other types of retail stores have open, or at least free, wi-fi.

I recently went to a Staples to check the address where I was heading. I had to 'agree to the terms', etc.

I was using one of their own laptops that was on display!

I stay Downtown and like to sit outside at Krispy Kreme and use their WiFi. Who wants to be on the computer a lot in Vegas anyway. Staying at a lower room at 4 Queens, I've picked up free WiFi, but not all the time.

Do all four Krispy Kreme's have Wi-Fi? I can verify the one downtown at Fitzgeralds.
