The same thing happened at the airport; my flight out was delayed. The same problem persisted while I waited in NYNY for Zumanity to start.
I did a couple of re-boots, even a hard re-boot, and nothing seemed to help. After being off-strip and not having these problems (ate off-strip, went to the Atomic Missile Museum, and the Ethel M Chocolate factory), I'd conclude it is due to the over-volume of people using cell phones in the Strip area. And of course, as soon as my flight landed at PHX, all has been normal.
Same exact experience on an iPhone at the Wynn/Encore last week. It's weird because I hadn't noticed this on previous trips there in June/April/January. Had no problem at all while I was at Palms Place.
