If you’ve got no 4G and no wifi... how are you posting?
I am not there anymore.
That’s so frustrating, I was up there for work, and was not able to get data service in my room. The Luxor would like you to pay $39 a day for WiFi. I’m on Verizon for my phone, my iPad is on T-Mobile which I was able to tether to my laptop and get work done at their Starbucks.
Good question... Perhaps it's a combination of the way the place was constructed and just poor cell service. I know it's anecdotal, but fellow co-workers had the same experience. Sometimes I forget that a cell signal and data signals are not the same. As to why in my experience, sitting in the corner of the Starbucks, near a particular elevator I was able to get a data signal on a particular network? I don't know, but you may have laughed if you had seen me walk around the hotel trying to find data reception.
Las Vegas is the worst for wifi. It's ridiculous considering $59 No-Tell Motels in Podunk, USA all have free wifi...
A lot more hotels are charging significant fees for WiFi and often are offering tiered plans with bandwidth limitations and limits on number of devices connected to a single pay point. The advertised free WiFi - if available at all - is so poor that email is just possible, Internet browsing is painfully slow, and video streaming is impossible. It's like charging for parking in their lots - they have captive customers.
Nah i’m good with Vegas. I don’t support red states (especially southern red states). I’d rather not get lynched....
