I see where Starbucks promotes free Wi Fi in their shops around town. Does anyone know if this includes casino locations like Harrahs?

Generally not.
Harrah's Caesars doesn't charge a resort fee, but they DO charge for wi-fi, so they're not gonna let their tenants give it away.
On the other hand, unless things changed since I was there last year, there are several hot spots, including the Apple store, in Caesars Forum Shops.
Also, the McDonald's next to Harrah's has free wi-fi, no purchase required. Just don't camp out. Word is, if your Harrah's hotel room is near McD's, you can pick up their access.

I invented a few casino games. Info:

Las Vegas Advisor lists hotspots on their web page. Not sure how frequently it gets updated.
Old enough to repaint. Young enough to sell.

I think a simple google search would've taken 1/10th the time it took to create a thread and type out the whole question.

It was a specific location that I was inquiring about as the Starbucks website is not all that clear on whether or not casino locations are indeed a part of their free wi fi system. The list in the Las Vegas Advisor simply says that Starbucks has multiple locations that are free.
If you did not have the answer, it would have taken 1/100th the time to simply not respond than to type out and post your worthless contribution.

AP - It's not that it can't be done, but rather people don't really have a clue as to the level of fanaticism and outright obsession that it takes to be successful, let alone get to the level where you can take money out of the casinos on a regular basis. Out of 1,000 people that earnestly try, maybe only one will make it.
