I'm gonna need a source on that one beyond LTT just going "the hotels on the strip collude with each other".

Convention wireless is a pain in the ass as a whole, and I've seen it both from venue-hosted networks and privately-operated-on-site networks being deployed as an overlay.

Did you actually look at the video/transcript? They were specifically talking about the internet service in the rooms being bad, and how it used to be good in specific hotels.

That's not a source. That's just an objective statement with no evidence to back it up. It's LTT talking uninformed shit as he always does.

I'm not saying it's "a source" to the collusion, I'm saying the reasons you gave to entirely reject the LTT clip were invalid. He wasn't talking about the show floor, and he personally experienced a better connection in certain hotels so we know they can manage it.

It might or might not be connected to the show floor issues, but it's relevant information for a bunch of the in-room internet experience to get significantly worse over time. It suggests that they are not even trying, so the fact that convention wireless is hard is not an excuse.
