2) Have any of you gotten upgraded but then had an issue with the room price since it was a poker rate?
3) Is there a good place with reliable wifi nearby? I want to get down to AC early, but that means I'll have to work at least a half day remotely.
Thanks.
I have been staying at trop almost every weekend, I played there about 8 hrs back in june and then I booked the entire summer (fri & sat) from that one day of playing. I booked a couple weekends at a time, then called back the next day for more.
They put you in the West tower but I never stayed in it - I always ask for the Havana Tower or the South Tower (right above the poker room). They all have free wifi, but bring a network cable because you can also plug in. Sometimes wifi is faster, sometimes plug in is faster.
This past weekend I was lucky enough to get a router right in my room, so I was able to re-set it to connect when the wall plug one kept slowing down. Otherwise you need to call the computer room and ask them to re-set whatever router you are closer too. I was never able to just connect to a wireless router without them (or me) resetting it.
