"Free" Wi-Fi at McCarran (Las Vegas) has a price...
While there is "free" Wi-Fi access at the Las Vegas airport at the moment, the network administrators at McCarran are port blocking most applications including: VoIP, IM and telnet. The only thing which seems to be working is web access...and their wireless network is going up and down like a yo-yo.
Today happens to be a 'snow day' in Las Vegas...this in turn is creating flight delays.
At least I have web access as I wait for the weather to improve...

(Full dislosure: I work for HotSpotVPN)
Blocked ports, no problem. Just fire up your hotspotvpn.com account and your IM and VOIP are encrypted and tunneled through and past the filters. We have many users using VOIP over the tunnel. We even have some gamers using it when their university blocks all udp packets.
There is always a way.
