Hooking up Las Vegas
Airliners that touch down in front of Mitchell Gonzalez’s front door are loaded with Las Vegas tourists ready to escape the daily grind and connect with Sin City’s gambling, eating and partying opportunities.
Gonzalez, president of Cheetah Wireless Technologies, wants to make sure that even amid the haze of casino smoke and din of clanging slot machines the tourists maintain some connection to the outside world, at least as much of it as they can download by laptop computer.
The Brooklyn native who grew up in Puerto Rico is overseeing development of an outdoor wireless network that covers downtown Las Vegas, will soon expand to the Strip and eventually, if Gonzalez plays Cheetah’s cards right, could be available throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
