Does this make me a cheapskate?
No! Thrift is to be a trait sought after. Your post was very informative,
and welcomed.
Cheapskate is when our personal thrift inconveniences another person, the
other person being not wise enough (Government Taxes Excluded? -- no they're
a fool to, but they carry guns) to appreciate it's your decision how you
spend your money, and that you're kind enough to be doing them a favor.

On the strip there is a free WiFi at the Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf
store inside the Miracle Mile shops. You do not have to purchase to
use it and connects all the way to the middle area. It is a nice area
to grab a coffee or other drink and sit at their tables and use the
internet. Also if you are staying at the Encore and need to do your
boarding passes there is no charge at the business centre.
