Cell Phones Costing Las Vegas Casinos Big Bucks
from the can't-handle-the-pressure dept
Apparently, hotels in Las Vegas are worried that they're losing money since guests are (gasp!) using mobile phones to make calls, rather than using the in-room hotel phones and paying their extortionary rates. Of course, this is just a changing business condition that the hotels need to deal with - and one major way would be to offer high speed wireless internet access. At the same time, the article points out that Las Vegas hotels have less to complain about, since they make plenty of money from people gambling.

Bottomline is: even undiscount daytime rate on a cell phone are cheaper than what many hotels charge.
And if you're a frequent business traveler it doesn't take much smarts to realize that a few long distance evening calls home/wk to the spouse and kids at hotel rates is more than the monthly cost for a cell phone. (And if you're not smart enough, you'll probably get a little note from accounting explaining it the next time you hand in your expense report...)
