Use wireless tether from any smartphone

Not all smartphones, and not all carriers and plans, support any tethering, let alone wireless tethering. I recently acquired a Virgin Mobile HTC Evo smartphone which provides wi-fi tethering (in other words it's a wi-fi hotspot as well as a smartphone) for up to 5 devices at an additional cost of $15/mo over and above the cell phone charges of $45/mo (non contract). It works pretty well, especially in areas with 4G WiMax (major urban areas) which is supported by this phone.

Some phones can, at least theoretically, be jailbroken and made to tether without the carrier's knowledge/in violation of the carrier's TOS. Whether the OP is technically able to do this, or whether the OP understands any of this, is anybody's guess.

Of course if one buys a dedicated wireless hotspot or aircard there is no need to worry about tethering.

The easy tether app will allow you to tether any smart phone (albiet wired USB teather), without rooting/jailbreaking regardless of wether you pay the tethering fee to your carrier.

ATM Question.

Before you say "read the thread" I think i have. Correct me if I'm wrong (i'm sure someone will).

I was in Vegas last year and every time I withdrew from an ATM it would only let me
get 200-400 out at a time. Then I'd have to start over or find another ATM and get more out. I can get upto 3000 out per day. I want to get it out in one transaction.
Does anyone know if this is possible and which ATM's.

I'm from overseas - i can't go into a Bank and withdraw over the counter.

Thanks

I know it depends on many factors and personal opinion but other than Aria and MGM, what other casinos are popular for 2/3 NLH?

aria, wynn and caesars will have 1/3 or 2/3

venetian, bellagio, mgm, will have 1/2

harrahs, planet hollywood, flamingo, ballys, treasure island, mirage will also have 1/2 much of the time but some of these rooms go dark and are in a different tier than the 6 i listed first

Thx, exactly the information I was looking for.

I have CitiBank and withdraw $1k from my ATM regularly with no problem. But this is off-strip. Closest one I know of is by Firefly on Paradise. And I have no idea if it's just because I'm a customer or not.

I imagine your best bet would be at a bank owned ATM. Try going to the Forum Shops or Fashion Show Mall, and they both should have at least one. I believe they both have Bank of America ATM's.

There should also be Chase ATM's inside the CVS locations on the strip. Also check the Walgreens.

Different ATMs have different limits. I imagine all the ones in the major casinos would be relatively high.

I know for a fact that the limit on a single ATM WD in the ATMs in tuscany casino about a block off the strip is $3K. So if you cant find anything better try there maybe

Casino ATMs have insanely high fees per transaction. And they limit the size of the transaction so you have to make many withdrawls, each for the full transaction fee. It's just another way to separate the tourist from his money.

Back to the casino beer comp questions. A couple years ago, you could get O'Douls at MGM joints (at least at Mandalay Bay). Is that still the case (or some other NA beer)?

pretty sure caesars has clausthaler or w/e that N/A beer is

idk about any of the other properties, tho. i was just curious what the guy next to me was drinking and i think that's what he said it was.

shot in the dark but is anyone familar with the local rock scene in LV? I saw a band out there like a year ago that was awesome, but I cant remember their name. They were a 3 piece with two guitars and no bassist. They were like pretty hard-rock, kind of blusey and had a big turnout. I assume they were local or at least close to the area, they didnt seem like they were a big tour band or anything. The show was at the cosmo.

I only ask because they seemed to have a big local following, and were unique in that they had two guitars and no bassist. Id love to know their name.

Call the Cosmo and ask for the concierge. They will be helpful in figuring out the name if you know the approximate dates you saw the band

Tell them where you saw them (I assume Book & Stage?) and go back to your email for your flight or hotel confirmation for your trip's date range, they should be able to give you a list of all the bands that played during that time or direct you to someone at Book & Stage who could research it and email it to you.

Thanks. I used to live there so I don't know the approx dates. I'm not interested enough to call the cosmo about it... Just thought I'd ask. Thanks anyway.

Can anybody tell me the name of an Italian restaurant off strip. Its famous for it's big meals

I went there a couple years ago and tryin to tell a friend the name who's over there now

It might have had lots of novelty items and photos on the walls, it was def a cramped restaurant though

could be Battista's Hole in the Wall behind Bill's/Flamingo

Don't know if they are famous for big meals, but no lack of novelty items and photos. Bottomless free house red and white wine with dinner.

Is there something big going on Sept 16th-22nd? All the hotels are much higher than normal, even on weekdays.

I know of two seperate boxing cards occuring, expect to see alot of Mexicans because both headliners are Mexican.

(Canelo and Chavez Jr.)

Hmmm..do Mexicans play much poker? We have a ton of Mexicans here, but our poker room hardly has any above the 1/2 level (tons of everyone else: asians, whites, blacks, indians, middle easterners, etc). My friends that are hispanics like playing home games but they don't like buying in for more than $10.
