Well, it may be harder to take a bus to the El Cortez, but it just got easier to get wifi. A new coffee house is open right across the street as you head down to the Experience. It features some healthy food choices, coffees, some interesting beer, and free wifi as long as you buy something. Seems a fine alternative to the long walk to the Krispy Kreme.
The place is a true relaxed coffee house with a scattering of small tables and some cases of books to borrow. I can't remember all the offerings but organic green salad was one and there were some interesting sandwiches for about $6. For the truly frugal they adverised a 7-9am special of drip coffee for a dollar and a muffin for another dollar. Seems just wonderful. I was there about noon and there were about 8 people with computers. My guess is that for a while it will be uncrowded for those staying at the El Cortez. They are open M-F 7am until midnight. Sat 9am until midnight. Sun 9 am until 3pm.
It was very quiet and some soft music was playing. I saw a record player and an assortment of records. They advertise themselves as the only independent coffee house and record store in Las Vegas.
I love records and have a large collection of my own.
This is my kinda place.

Also on the corner of Freemont and Las Vegas Blvd there is an interesting place called the Hookah Lounge all done up in exotic decor and connected to the Cigar store. It was not open, but it sure adds decor to the old parking lot on that corner. Perhaps there is still parking for $10 as I saw a sign set off to the side.
