Default Laptops in Racebook?

Guys,

I'm heading out to Vegas in the morning for "medical" meetings. Staying at the Orleans for 5 days. Last time I was there they still allowed laptops in the racebook, unlike Caesars and others.

Does anyone know what their policy is now? I'd hate to have to print out PP's for the next 3 days in the AM before my departure.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about laptops but cel phones are not allowed. I would doubt you could use a laptop, but thay are less obvious than a phone against your ear. They respond quickly and strongly against cel's because of the possibility to Jake a bet, but with horses having national betting pools it should not matter.

Good luck, I hope someone knows for sure.

Hows this for a STUPID RULE:

Laptops are allowed into Race Book area. BUT you cannot plug them into a wall outlet!!!!

They think laptops have friggin unlimited juice? I brought 2 batteries but they were gone by the end of Belmont/Pimlico card!

I explained that I was not betting over the internet, just recharging the battery, but NO GO. They give out all the alcohol you want for free, but a quick recharge is a NO go!
