Instead of playing Saratoga from the lonely confines of my Manhattan apartment, I’ve decided to get out of town and play it from Las Vegas (hey... where there’s fun, frolic, potential for mischief, a "dryer" heat and Wayne Newton). Specifically, I want to play from my room at the Wynn using my iPads. Via my familiar online betting services and NOT at the Wynn’s sports book downstairs through their sleepy, uninterested tellers.

But my Twin Spires guy called me the other day and warned that my hotel may “jam” my internet signal to discourage this. This winter within the confines of Gulfstream Park (that’s XPressBet territory), I had trouble logging into my Twin Spires account. Was the Twin Spires web address purposely being “jammed” there? Not allowing betting venues other than the home team?

So my question is: Will the Wynn really jam me? Jam my online betting addresses? Is that illegal? Has anyone experienced this?
