Viva las wifi

Last weekend I headed out to Vegas for my friends Scott and Kristen's bachelor/bachelorrette party weekend. Obviously I am under strict rules and am unable to discuss much of what happened throughout the trip, however, there are some issues that are fair game.

Namely - how the hell can Las Vegas hotels not offer free wifi? They tried to charge $15 a day, just so I could connect to the internet and get my work done. Are you shitting me? If they are willing to comp food and rooms and other ammenities to people to get them to stay and gamble, who's the genius that thought asking for $15 to get the internet in your room was a solid way to endear yourself to guests?

A jackass, that's who.

I got free wifi in my hotel room at the Red Roof Inn up in Cortlandt, New York when I went for my sister's graduation. I could set my fantasy baseball lineups and even check out porn, all for free in a like $40 a night hotel room (of course for graduation weekend they were charging $100 a night but a pig in a dress is still a pig - or Sarah Palin, I don't remember how that joke goes.)

Can't we all just agree that nowadays wifi is like air - it's all around us and anyone who tries to charge you for it is a Spaceball?
