WiFi at LAS?
I was here April 5th-6th and couldn't seem to find a wireless signal anywhere in the airport. I asked a few employees - they said there was just ONE internet kiosk at the cell phone store infront of C gates, and NO wireless at the airport at all.
Anybody confirm or deny this? I'll be going back through in May so hopefully I can find some sort of connection.

The past couple of times I've gone through LAS there's a strong signal on the D gates (SSID "McCarran WiFi") but no Internet connection seems to be available through that signal.
Has this changed?

When I was a UA flyer, I never had a problem getting a WiFi connection in the D gates by United. In the A and B concourses, though, I can't get a connection at all.
I really wish I could get a connection throughout the airport -- it'd be worth the cost given all the time I spend waiting for flights.

C gates are lit
I flew out of gate C-25 (Southwest) Monday evening. I was able to associate to the access point and surf the web. Guest access is free for now, but I've got to believe that a billing service (Wayport, Boingo, etc.) will be running shortly.

They have not made a public announcement of the service yet -- it's still technically in a "pre-release" phase -- but they are not planning to charge for access.
A big ^ for McCarran!
