Blogger Davis Freeburg lets us know that the Circus Circus in Vegas won't let guests hook up their AV gear to hotel TVs. Freeburg writes:

Normally I'd be bothered by a dirty room or poor customer service but, in this case, it was a big fat sticker prohibiting guests from connecting their own AV gear to the television sets.

Five years ago, I wouldn't have cared but, with the explosion in the number of laptop to TV solutions and video cameras with outputs, this has become an important issue for consumers to consider.

What good does it do you to be able to take your PC or camera on the go, if hotels end up freezing you out by neutering their TVs?

Not that we even look at our TV when we visit Vegas but this could be a disturbing trend by hotels. Or else it's just another trick by the casinos to keep you downstairs gambling instead of geeking out in your hotel room.

I tried to hook up my Wii in the Sutton Suite at the Regency in NY and it was a no-go there too.

I didn't even think about Wii systems. Sad...
