Not sure what you mean by 'are there free ones'?

The Power Pass is only good value if you would want to do enough things in the number of days you would buy the pass for and the cost of paying for all of those things would be more than the cost of the Power Pass. Personally, I would feel like we were rushing around to get our money's worth - though I suppose for some on a first trip trying to pack a lot in they may be worth it.

Thanks for the info.

This will actually save me money as I currently pay $13.99 for daily internet access.

It would save us money too, though as we normally stay at HET properties and so far they have resisted the resort fee trend (and have used the explosion of resort fees elsewhere to their advantage in the press) it won't at least at this point. While we don't have the need to post a message every ten minutes while in Vegas either, we do like to have our netbook in the room and check email, news etc. and probably pay for access 2 out of 3 days...personally I don't want to haul the netbook around with us and I like having internet access in the room, but that's just me.

We like carhire3000 as recommended by others here for normal rentals...though I don't think you could guarantee a Mustang since CH3000 is a broker and not all rental companies have them and even if they do, they don't normally guarantee you a specific type of car - only a class of car. As for a classic I'm lucky enough to have ridden in and driven a '65 quite a few times (though not in over 20 years, mind). I wouldn't really think driving around Vegas in one would be all that great though - the turning radius alone would be a bit of a killer. I suppose if you can find somewhere that has one to rent and drove out to Valley of Fire or even Zion then maybe - but to toodle around in Vegas it seems a bit of a waste.
