Sin City getting Verizon's EV-DO high speed wireless network

So Las Vegas is officially the next city to receive Verizon Wireless' new EV-DO high-speed wireless network, joining San Diego and Washington DC. We were going to make some joke about how a 500 Kbps wireless network would give us quick access to online bookies or ordering strippers but we've decided that would be tacky, since according to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, gambling and strippers are not the only things of interest in Las Vegas. There's the shopping. And the refreshing desert walks. And the unpleasant cabbies (we had a bad experience and don't want to talk about it). All of this is completely besides the point though. Las Vegas. EV-DO 3G. 500 Kbps. More as-yet-unspecified locations to come soon. Our work is done here.
