Unbelievable as it may seem, the Luxor in Las Vegas offers high-speed internet access – but there’s a catch! In order to get it, you need to stretch a wire all the way across the room, and it won’t even reach the desk for you to actually work at it.
The cost for this little act of fire-hazard creation? $15 per day. FML.

Have you noticed that fancy hotels charge an extravagant amount for wired high speed but the low end hotels provide it for free?
When I was traveling in Europe, the hotels charged an arm and a leg for internet access. Go to a conference in nearly any hotel and the “high speed wireless” they provide is pitiful. I eventually broke down and got a Sprint card. If you travel a lot it makes a lot of sense.
Wi-fi it’s unreal in lux-zone:)
For sure in Belarus good internet is reall joke man:)
strong post:) hotel like in kiev;)
I used one of those in Japan recently when on a wired connection. Worked a charm. Easy to set up.
Plus, if you set it up to share a single IP, you are on your own little subnet, with a (in effect) hardware fire wall protecting you from other people in the hotel.
And we were fully mobile in the rooms we stayed in. niiiice.

That is insane. I wouldn’t pay for that at all, I would bring out my phone and tether or use a USB 3G modem or something. At least I hope you got good speeds with it.
An alternative I have seen many use in such places though, is to bring an Apple Airport Express to get a wireless access point. You might want to try that next time.
Duuuude … that’s crazy. You’d think the Luxor would have some high tech Wi-Fi built into the inner coating of it’s pyramid! Sorry man.
