    A popular location is the Grand California Hearthstone Lounge, they have tables in the back and a couple of outlets. Lost Bar is another good choice, you can find a couple of tables with outlets.

    I don't know the technical name for it, but I have a white box made by Apple - about 3x4 inches, 1 inch deep. DH uses it to give us wireless in hotel rooms that only have an ethernet connection. The ethernet attaches to the box, you plug the box in an electrical outlet - voila - wireless in the hotel!

    I'll see if I can find out what it's really called.

    Airport Express with AirTunes. Apparently it's a very versitile device, but I'm completely non-techie, so I can't help you with any info there.
