Good place to rent a laptop for 3 days?

Is there a good place in Vegas to do this? I basically need a method
to access the internet frequently during my visit, and it seems like
this would be the easier way. I am not a fan of the Web TV setups in
most hotels.

If any of you locals know, please let me know... I sure would
appreciate it!

You might want to ask the hotel you'll be staying at; their concierge
desk might have some suggestions.

What hotel are you staying in? I stayed at the Luxor last year and they
have a really nice business center. Just show them your room key and
you can use their computers.

IMHO, the easiest way is to get a cell phone/PDA, such as I
use here and when traveling to stay in touch. Unless you
need the larger screen or full sized keyboard, a cell
phone/PDA or Blackberry would be tops.

The airport here in LV has free WiFi Internet access in all
the terminals. It's also available in a number of coffee
shops, but I strongly suspect that our hotel/casinos would
prefer to sell you daily access than to let you have it for
free. I understand that wasn't your real question, but
having connectivity is the first part.

When G. and I travel, we take along both my HP6151
(Cingular) cell phone/PDA and also Gloria's HP PDA. My cell
phone is not WiFi enabled, but I can still go online over
the high speed network of Cingular to get acceptably fast
email downloads and to visit needed web sites. When WiFi is
available, I switch to Gloria's PDA for browsing, but still
prefer my cell phone/PDA combination for email, since it has
a thumb keypad. WiFi is still faster and more reliable when
viewing web pages, IMHO, but the cell phone/PDA will work.
An interesting extra on my HP cell phone is that it has an
internal GPS receiver that seems to work even inside some
buildings. For instance, I was walking around Caesar's
Palace one afternoon and obtained a decent GPS lock from
inside the Forum Shop retail area.

I'd say that for the ultimate connectivity and ease of use
with today's technology, you might consider a WiFi equipped
laptop with a Cingular or Sprint PCMCIA cell phone card, if
you can stand the weight and bulk. It wouldn't be with you
all the time, though. IMHO, the ultimate cell phone/PDA
will be the next incarnation of the one I have- by HP, that
will give up one of the two SD slots to give you built in
WiFI. I know, I could get a SDIO WiFi card for my present
phone, but I don't want something sticking out the side of
it when keeping it in my belt holster.

You are allowed to be lazy if you are rich.

Have the concierge procure and return the laptop for you, and pay the
the $5,000 or so they will charge.
