I was in Vegas last week on vacation. ATT 3G was awful. I stopped in the apple store and they told me that Vegas is notorious for poor 3g. They recommended switching to Edge

Any time there is a large group of people this happens. My phone was useless at the Paul McCartney concert and an MLS game I went to on Saturday. I finally got it to work when I turned 3G off.

That last event, not really saying much to support OP's problems. Nobody watches MLS. LOL!

I'm just kidding. I've been to Vegas during Miss America pageant :D, UFC, boxing and other big events. Haven't had a problem.
 
I hear ya....chicago cubs game last year, I had full bars but couldnt do anything. no calls, no text, nothing.
 
To be honest I couldn't hack a Justin bier concert either.

So sick of style over substance in music most music in the charts is really terrible.
 
Living in Vegas, no, I've actually never had a single complaint in the three years or so my family's had AT&T. With the Strip being so dense, though, I wouldn't be surprised if it was overwhelmed.

You'd think they would factor things like this into their plans. What happens when The Strip starts to recover? A 10% increase in visitors is only a dent to what Vegas has lost during the recession - but a 10% increase in cellphones on The Strip you'd think could kill AT&T even without a special event. Hmm.
 
it was ATT punishing you for being a Justin Bieber fan...

but really, differences in musical taste aside, you had a few thousand people all struggling for bandwidth off the same tower, so its nearly impossible for ANY network (not just ATT) to provide reliable service in a large gathering like that with what is likely just a single tower.

You should try using your phone at a U of M football game...then you're competing with over 100,000 people.

looks like iron maidens new release is gonna be pretty high up in the charts though...and wether you like them or not, at least they use instruments!
