VMWorld2008 - WiFi
WiFi in my room is $9.95 every 24 hours, billed to my room.
WiFi at the conference is free.
Just connect to VMWorld2008 SSID.
Bring a second fully charged battery as you will most likely run out if you use your laptop at all during the day.
My cell phone also ran out, as it is roaming which takes up more juice, so I had to charge it via usb off my laptop.

VMWorld2008 - Food
I have a room in the Palazzo, connected to the Venetian and the Sands Convention Center, where VMWorld2008 is.
The room is expensive but comparable to the other rooms at the other places in the area.
My window looks directly out onto the Pirate scene of Treasure Island.
I get to watch the shows every night, if I am even in my room.
They do not go on too late so it doesn't affect getting to bed at a reasonable hour.
The proximity to the convention is fantastic.
I haven't been outside since I got here from the airport.
Cost of food in the room and restaurants in the two resorts is between $38 and $58 for most common dishes.
Any surf & turf or specialties usually run around $85.
Meals tend to end up around $100 if you aren't careful.
The food is absolutely fantastic if you go and sit down at any of the restaurants.
Last night I ordered some braised short ribs.
They were melt-in-your-mouth but a little fatty.
Tonight I went to AquaKnox.
Food was pricey but well worth it. Service was excellent.
Got a front table to watch all the people go by.
They have this amazing wine tube with water falling down the face.
Their is a table and chairs to have dinner inside.
I didn't even ask how much that table would be to sit at.
