Here at VegasChatter, we're dedicated to chronicling the best and the worst that Vegas has to offer and Free WiFi is one of our hottest topics.
Lately, hotels have been including WiFi access into their resort fees taking some of the sting off the frivolous per-day charge. But we're still keen on places where we can get it absolutely free. And so it goes in the hotel world, if you want it free you should try a budget place instead. (HotelChatter knows all about this WiFi conundrum.)
We've already sung the praises of Element Las Vegas out in Summerlin but we've found something a little closer to the Strip--the new Clarion Hotel.
Located near the Las Vegas Convention Center and smushed into between the back of the Encore and the start of the Riviera, the 202-room, full service hotel has an on-site casino, an outdoor pool, kitchenettes in some rooms, the glorious free WiFi we love so much AND it's pet-friendly.
If this place look familiar that's because it used to be the Greek Isles casino and hotel until Choice Hotels took it over last month. We've been assured that the bedding, the business center and the menu for Jon's Bistro have all been upgraded. (We really hope the rooms no longer look like this.)
We found rates for about $84 a night for a mid-week stay which given some of the awesome deals we've seen lately, it's not that much of a steal. But yes, keep in mind breakfast and WiFi are free and you're close to the convention center.
However, you're not any better off by visiting the other Clarion in Las Vegas--The Clarion Hotel and Suites--Emerald Springs on Flamingo near the airport. Rooms are $69 but the amenities are quite old. Sigh. The things we'd do for free WiFi.
