Mickey,
My favorite free wi-fi hotspot downtown is at the Krispy Kreme donuts at Fitzgerald's. It even works at the tables outside so you don't even have to purchase anything, but I always do. Can't resist Krispy Kremes!

Mickey–I too have enjoyed your postings–happy to help–here's what I
know about Hot-Spots in Las Vegas–
http://cnet.jiwire.com/search-wifi-hotspots-parametric.htm?zip=&pay_free=free&country_id=1&state_id=34&provider_id=0&city=Las%20Vegas&radius=100.0&address=&location_type_id=0&x=22&y=13&type=centroid&hotspot_name=&&startnum=11

Johannes Grimm was born somewhere in Germany in l700/l701. Grimm
indicates ancestry from the Crimea. His oldest son John Crim was born
in Oberscheldon, Germany in l735. His second oldest son, Harmon Crimm
was born about l749 in Culpepper County, Virginia. Johannes had to
have come to America somewhere between these dates. Johannes died in
l772 and is buried in Faurquar County, Virginia. He didn't get to see
the Revolution. Of his five children, two spelled their name Crim,
three spelled it Crimm. Why they used a C instead of a G is unknown
to me. A couple wound up in Fayette County, Kentucky in the late
l700's. They must have went over with Danny Boone. Others migrated
south, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. One of my
ancestors was given an allotment in a land lottery in Georgia in 1832
as a reward for fighting the Indian Wars. Of my 29 ancestors who
fought the Civil War, 12 fought for the North, 17 fought for the
South. My great grandfather, William Crimm, showed up in Scott
County, Mississippi in the early l890's, where remains today one of
the biggest enclaves of Crimms in the country. If any of this does
not "ring true", then do a yahoo search on Joseph Crimm and the whole
thing will pop right up in front of you. I think if my friends Jean
Scott, Bob Dancer, Dan Paymar and others can deal with detractors,
then I can too. If I had an agenda for spinning tall tales I
certainly would not use my own name. Good Luck.

As George clarified, he wasn't questioning the verity of the tale
outright ... just expressing that it raised some doubt in his mind.
That's appropriate. And don't let my constant support of the
statements by others suggest that I don't subject them to a hearty
dose of critical scrutiny. My primary focus is whether I can
reasonably conceive such statements as being true. I still hold out a
reasonable degree of skepticism in reserve.
In the case of "On the Road with Mickey Crimm", what speaks loudly to
me is that the tale is obviously heavily sanitized. There can be no
doubt that the full version is FAR more grittier (likely to a
skin-crawling extent).
This latter tale is what would have held my fascination. The one
related was merely interesting. (Of course, I have a sick affection
for Stephen King's work ... go figure.)

Hi, George. OPRAH DOESN"T BACK ROUNDERS. Every bit of the post is
true. I have no excuses for the way I've lived my life, but
absolutely will not lie about it.
But don't think I can't prevaricate. I do it all the time at the
poker table. If I'm out at Wynn or Bellagio playing poker next
weekend and someone asks me what I do for a living (happens all the
time), I'm certainly not going to tell them I'm a Nevada working pro.
They'll play me different. No, there gonna get a line like "I'm from
Corn Junction, Iowa. I'm in corn."
Another trick I like to pull on a table full of strangers is the first
time I get check-raised I'll look at the dealer and say "now wait a
minute, he can't check and then raise!!" Makes them all think I'm an
idiot rookie from out of town.
Here's an Omaha Hi-Lo trick I get to pull every once in awhile. In
holdem you get two cards and can use both cards or one card or even no
cards to make your best hand with the board. In omaha you get four
cards and must use two out of your hand with three on the board to
make your best hand. You can mix and match to make your best low and
your best high, but you must use two out of your hand for each way.
So I sit down to a table full of strangers and on the first hand I
play, when we get down to the river I'll look at the dealer and
say "now what do I do play these four with the board?" The dealer or
someone else will invariable say "you must use two out of your hand",
at which point I will sling two cards to the muck and say "I'll play
these two" (I just fouled my hand.) Now the table erupts. YOU JUST
FOULED YOUR HAND!!!! I stick my hand out to the dealer and
say "dealer, give me back that Ace-deuce." It usually takes ten
minutes or so for the laughter to subside while I'm sitting there
looking like the biggest idiot that ever came down the pike. Then I
just show them the nuts for the rest of the night. Good Luck.

A good writer with a good tale to tell who claims it is true is always viewed with a grain of
salt, since the beginning of time.
It's all in the telling of the tale. If the telling is artful then the truth of it is suspect. Truth is
rarely entertaining. And Mr Crimm does spin a good tale, artfully told with a colourful flair.
I for one have no reason to suspect that it is anything other than what he tells is so and I
must admit to feeling a tad jealous at the skillful way he enthrals in his narrative.
Well done Mr Crimm and thank you for a an informative and highly entertaining post!

Try any of these at my table, and I will keep at least one sunglassed
eye on you at all times. Only Newbies, or Marks, would fall for
these. This goes double for "asking the rules of the game".

You're right, Babe. I'll relax. Meanwhile I have a 1 1/2 hour flight
delay. The Fremont Street Commando is going to be late getting back
to Fremont Street.
Harry, you are way too perceptive. The full version is the tale of a
man who squandered every opportunity he ever had in life. Who
degenerated to the point that conforming to society was no longer an
option. Someone Robert Service would call "A man who won't fit in"

Gee, I was just hoping for a "garbage pail scrounging" adventure or two 
- H.
Hi Mickey,
I'm happy that you're flying instead of hitching these days!
Glad to hear that you're making it back to my favorite town!
I was frolickin' on Fremont last week and enjoyed myself
very much.......mostly. Didn't have my best trip ever, but came
out a little ahead, with everything comped. Quite satisfying.
Fremont Street won't see me again until the fall. I do much cooler
Reno in the hot months. I love Northern Nevada also, but my first
love is LV.
I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors. As one of my AP
friends is wont to say, "try to stay on the right side of
randomness!"
Please continue to post about your adventures. I believe that many
of us do enjoy reading about them.
Regards,
-Babe-

There are many good books recounting such "adventures". One of my
favorites is "Down and Out in Paris and London" by George Orwell, the
story of his experiences as a youth without money or a steady job.

Mickey--I must apologize when I asked "is that your real name?"-- It was rhetorical question since I never
doubted that Mickey Crimm was your REAL name--it just
seemed soooooo perfect--sounds like an author's name and you seem to be a great author/writer. . . . Sorry
but my writing skills aren't as good as yours and I
didn't write what I really meant! But anyway, it was kinda neat because we got to hear another "Mickey Story" about a great family history! I used to work with a gal that always said "everyone's got a story" but it seems like you've got more than one! Thanks for
sharing! JH
