My equipped OnStar car has unlimited internet for $25 a month. I use it with a Mini Ipad sometimes.

Not sure if that's something you could use.

I'm cheap
I go with the Wi-Fi included in my weekly stay rate at the RV park

Maybe you leave a complaint on Yelp? Or one of those places after you leave.

Don't know if you are past these or not? These caves are great. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS839US839&tbs=lf:1,lf_ui:1&tbm=lcl&q=caves+in+southern+arizona&rflfq=1&num=10&ved=2ahUKEwjOl4G_g5LtAhVKUK0KHZZ5BfEQtgN6BAgUEAc#rlfi=hd:;si:;mv:[[39.04914098257247,-92.18089165377044],[26.33783241736823,-120.83312811540985],null,[32.92119249461653,-106.50700988459015],5]

I mentioned it a year or more ago, but "Valley of Fire" a few miles east of Vegas is a memorable visit. I think when we camped there, we may have been the first people to use the rv spot we were in. Hundreds of petroglyhs, perfect for bike riding. IDK about the web connection? Don't you just use the signal from your phone?

Totally off topic question, but is it wifi only? Or are there ethernet ports as well?

No ethernet connection. There may be some sort of hack possible of course. Now when I plug in one of the devices in the provided USB ports it does connect to the device for purposes of some limited transfer of data or syncing.

I suppose spending some time searching the internet, you might find out something useful someone else has figured out.

Isn't something like this an option?

UK cost is about $13 per month roaming anywhere.

Or tether your cellphone?

Not sure what everyone wants to do, but in the old days (1996-2000) you could get a browser (guess it was a browser) pick all the sites you normally visit. Then set the browser to visit all the sites during the night and download all the information. Then in the morning you could read all the stuff offline that it spent hours downloading. Then delete, rinse and repeat.

Anyway, such a thing might be useful while you have connection but are not using it, to be able to consume it later when you don't have a connection.

Just checked out the best petroglyph site yet
Grapevine canyon outside of Laughlin
Just a short hike and its petroglyph city
I was in heaven
Amazing
I was climbing all over the rocks to get better pics

In Vegas baby
Got takeout from a Chinese place in the Silverton which is the closest casino to me.
Really nice RV park but they charge a lot. Toying with the idea of living in Vegas for a month. This place has lots of empty spaces but the monthly rate sold out. They said I could stay a month at the high weekly rate. That stinks. Plenty of availability but not cheap.
Stay here a week then head to Sam's Town KOA probably.
I like spending the holidays in Vegas with everything open. Beginning of Jan head south for warmer weather.
I'm really curious on how much I earned on my MGM and Caesars cards. I use them exclusively for everything I spend and pay off the whole balance monthly. Hopefully earned a lot. I plan on a lot of free takeout.
