Las Vegas Information For Your Cell Phone or PDA
Imagine this: you are in Las Vegas at Bellagio and you want to know if the Italian restaurant there is any good. In the olden-days you would need to find a computer and bring up the ever-trusty RateVegas.com and look it up... Well, no longer! As many folks these days have cell phones that can surf the Web or even BlackBerries that can do even more, we have developed a special version of our database for mobile phones and small screens.
Getting started is very simple! On your mobile phone or PDA, just use the built-in browser to go to the following URL:
That's it! You will be taken to our special mobile site where you can look up the details on all your favorite Las Vegas hotels, restaurants and other attractions.
Las Vegas On Your iPhone!
There's no doubt that the iPhone is a great mobile platform. While the full Web site runs great on iPhone, we've developed a special interface that is optimized for the screen and works the way you would expect it to. Bookmark the following on your iPhone and get great Vegas info all the time:

Requesting Hotel Information Via E-Mail
We have another mobile service that we are testing. It's not perfect yet and we know that but so far it seems pretty useful. We now have a special email address that lets you send in a message with the name of a hotel and we immediately reply with all the info about that hotel from our database. This is especially great for BlackBerries and Treos that have great mobile email.
So, how does this work? It's simple. Just fire up your email program on your phone or PDA and send a new message to hotel@ratevegas.com. What you put in for a subject doesn't matter - we ignore it. For the body of the message, don't include anything except the name of the hotel you want to search for. For instance, if you want to know more about Caesars Palace, go ahead and put the words 'caesars' or 'caesars palace' into the body of the message and hit send. We'll send you back an email with all the helpful info and don't worry, we don't even save the email addresses you send from so we're not going to spam you or anything lame like that. So go ahead, give it a try!
