I think it was a good idea. Don't see any reason to drive a big van to the show by myself. Also, maybe someone else will know where they're going. ha ha

Any one staying at The Orleans?

After staying at both Arizona Charlie's locations (Decatur and Boulder) I have to say that I prefer the Decatur location.

I would say both locations are roughly equidistant from the LV Convention Center. Decatur may be a "little" closer.

What I liked more about Decatur is the ambience. It has more of a "Gold Rush" feel, as opposed to the traditional Vegas casino feel of Boulder.

Boulder has many more rooms, but I liked the smaller Decatur location.

At a little over $40 per night (Sun-Thur.), either location makes cents. :-)

I thought the Boulder location was OK but I really wished they had wireless internet there. I'm too used to doing all of my communicating on the internet. Does the Decatur location have it?

In addition to the dialup service at Boulder, for $.075 per call, you have the problem with the phone disconnecting every now and then. They took the extra calling charges off my bill.

Wireless, I wish. I would love to know where it is available in Vegas.

NYC has it in Central Park, Philadelphia is in the process of setting it up free throughout the city. How free, I do not know.

We just recently got a Sprint wireless card for my laptop. I think the card was about $200, and the service is about $80 per month. There's no per-minute fee...it's unlimited (except by the availability of a Sprint tower).

I was told that the coffee Keosk in the Hilton's lobby has wireless.

If I remember correctly at the Hilton it was $11.00 per day additional for internet in the rooms and $30.00 per stay for a coffee pot (supporting the coffee shop I guess ;). The wireless in the convention center was $4.00, but don't remember time limit. There was wireless in the coffee shop area, but never tried it to see what the cost was, if any. Guess that's why they have the $55.00 room rate coupons cause they make it up every place else.

Chris,

I don't have a laptop, so I didn't pay attention to the internet access situation.

That is your solution, get a laptop and get connected with the modern world. Now you have an excuse to downgrade like the rest of us.

Harvey,

You would think, that being the host of an internet site, I'd be hyper-connected, wouldn't you? :-) 

Actually, I enjoy my brief periods away from the computer, cell phone, TV, etc. etc.

Otherwise, there's very little time to be introspective.

Zonas,

$30.00 a stay at the coffee shop!!!! Yikes. The 11.00 a day in the hotel is not bad expecially since at Salt Lake airport it was $11.00 and that's just while waiting for your flight.
