Default Wireless internet in public areas of Borgata?

Going up to play the $50K Gtd at Borgata on Friday. Being that it's a Friday... some normal people have work to do. Any know if there's a common wireless hot-spot around the Borgata casino floor / outside the poker room... or anywhere in general?

Thx in advance.

The hotel "lobby" area has free Wifi. You need to show a room key to get in, but I would imagine that the wirless leaks outside at least a bit, so you could access standing by the glass. Alternatively, depending on who's manning the door you can sometimes sweettalk you way inside, though they are usually pretty tough about that because they want to keep people from using the pool for free.

Sit outside the glass on the side near the ATM's, the signal can be weak though - I've also seen the security guy ask people with laptops sitting there to move.

Don't expect to get any work done in the morning...you'll probably be waiting in line for two hours to register.

No chance they're taking registrations the night before, is there?

It's not my work, it's my heterolifemate that has work to do.

Just explain to the security guard nicely that you have some urgent work to do and would like to sit down and use the wireless for a few minutes in the lobby. That's probably your best option.

Not unless they've miraculously come to their senses in the past couple of days. Tried this one last week.

This is a little OT, but is there wireless internet in the rooms at Borgata? I recall having hooked up wired Internet before, but never wireless.
