The SLC Hilton Spencer's is the best stakehouse in the state, and fourth in the country. The guest room is very comfortable, but the Wi-Fi connection leaves much to be desired.

Wired Internet is available on all 18 floors at $9.95 per day.
Because of technical difficulties,Wi-Fi is accessible only on the 1st (lobby) and 2nd (pool) floor. The daily fee is the same as the wired rate. Most Guests with or without Wi-Fi PDA stay above the swimming pool floor. Not too many guests, I don't think, would want to leave their rooms and use the wireless service at these two floors . So I went looking for free Wi-Fi connections. There should be some about. As a matter of fact, the Shilo Hotel across from Hilton offers free wired Internet to all its guests.

I found my free Wi-Fi connection on the street behind the Hilton at a café-bookstore. The first SLC post was sent with my standing at the outside of the bookstore. This and any subsequent SLC posts can now be sent free of charge.
