Comment (by jsmith):

 I talked with my contact Carlos again.

 They can't get an antenna on the roof of the hotel.  Too peaked, very
 little access.  Just not possible.  They tried to see if we could shoot
 through a window, but the windows were too low.
 One option is to put an antenna on a man lift or scissor, and leave it
 there for the duration.
 The cost goes up, however, to pay for the rental of the lift.

 He also mentioned an internet provider very close to the hotel (Desert
 Internet?  He said it was just across Mill Ave), and that they might be
 able to quote us something as well.
