Question of the Day - 02 September 2010

Q:
Which hotels offer free Wi-Fi for guests?
A:

Very few hotels offer free Wi-Fi access. In general, either there's a specific charge for Internet access during your stay (see our listings for Internet charges), or else it's included as part of the so-called "resort fee".

Those hotels that do offer free Wi-Fi tend to include those non-casino, long-stay properties aimed more at business travelers, like La Quinta, Fairfield Inn, Best Western, etc., while exceptions include the Gold Spike downtown and Wild Wild West. Otherwise, a number of hotels have one or more "hotspots" where you can get online -- the Terrace Pointe Cafe and Pizza Place at Wynn, for example, or numerous locations throughout Tuscany. A number of the Cool Pools also have free Wi-Fi access, but they're only open seasonally.

Since we last updated our listings of Free Wi-Fi hotspots, there have been a number of casualties, including Aces & Eights bar, Cafe Mitz, and reJAVAnate. Click the link for the full listings, and let us know if you know of anywhere we missed.

Reader feedback on today's, for which thanks, as always:
  • "Redarding free WIFI access, Main Street Staion has free access in the Players club area and I was told it is available in some rooms. Works great on the main floor. Was just there last week." [Ed: We've heard mixed reports about this one over the years, but sounds like there's a strong signal now.]
  • "Re your QoD of 9/2/10 regarding free Internet access: Worthy of note is that all Seven Stars members of Harrahs Total Rewards get free Internet access at all 8 Harrah's branded properties in LV, along with free local calls and free in-room movies."
