As I said in my post on this subject, you don't even need to go into the McDonalds to use the free Wi-Fi. I've stopped at them in my car and used WiFi from the parking lot. It's very handy if you just want to send a quick email. I don't always take free advantage of this – I do buy an ice tea from time to time.

Veering slightly off topic, there is a free app in the apple store (free wifi finder), which will find all free (and paid, if desired) wifi sites near you. It is very slick, and works around the world, even in Las Vegas.
Also I brought my ipad last year, and would not pay for extra for wifi, but I found it perfectly acceptable to drive (had a car, of course) to the nearest McDonald's, buy a coffee, and plop myself down and surf to my heart's content (even though it was 60 degrees there, I loved the fact that I was 80 degrees warm than home at the time).
And of course, I got to see free entertainment (unhappy McDonald's customers throwing their food, starting fights...good fun). Needless to say, the ipad never left my sight!!

[vpFREE] Re: So it looks like 100% + $1+ VP is almost extinct in Las Vegas...
There is plenty of over 100% dollar VP in town. It's barely over 100%-but it's there. 10/7 DB, 10/6 DDB and Loose Deuces. When you throw in the dollar NSUD plus slot club plus welfare checks plus promotions things are pretty darn good for recreational dollar players. There are some other casinos but Stations is definitely your friend if you like positive games and don't need volcanoes or pirate ships.

Would be willing to give the casinos a chance at my bankroll, but gee, if I'm a smart player (theoretically, of course), I want the odds to be slightly in my favor (let the slot players pay for the place). I can appreciate that the legends (Bob Dancer and Jean Scott, among many others, I mention those two because I have ALL their books, and everything else) have their own "secret" favorite places to play, and i respect their privacy in not disclosing them, but unless I'm missing something (which is of course entirely possible), there are very slim pickings anywhere in Las Vegas (a few Stations properties have some games, but Boyd is pretty much void of good games [I did play the 25 cent FPDW at Sam's Town of course, but it was too slow for me]. Anyhow, any comment/feedback from the people who are lucky enough to be on the ground there would be greatly appreciated!!!
