    I was wondering what people do who stay in hotels for a long period of time do about getting on the internet. I'm staying at the rio and it costs 60 or more a week per computer. Any cheaper ideas?

    i uess this is where a wireless aircard may pay some, otherwise just pay by the day when you play and if you just want to check something, carry your laptop to like Dennys or something (free wifi) maybe you can work a deal with thwm, or if you also dabble in the table games, then getting it comped thru Harrahs is ez.

    the nevada gaming commision banned internet access in hotels due to decreased traffic in casionos from online gamblers. Im afraid you may be out of luch.

    If you are only visiting. As I mentioned in another thread, go to best Buy or any other store, get a Verizon/AT&T/Sprint card. They are 30 day returnable service and items. You'll pay a small fee for the usage, but cheaper than paying to use internet any where else.

    Or get a Smartphone that you can tether.
