I will be roaming Los Vegas next year using my Fido GPRS on GsM and Bell
Mobility (CDMA) for voice.

I'm told that if I am on the T-mobile service for my data, it will be free
on my plan with Fido.

Could somebody confrim this?

And who are the other GSM providers in Los Vegas?

Also who are the CDMA providers there too for my Bell phone?

ATT has Vegas covered (as best as they can cover) I believe Verizon has it
covered for CDMA.

GSM roaming will be on Cingular (your handset may say Pacific Bell
depending on its age).  You will use minutes from your Fido plan and you
will also be charged US20¢ per minute.  I believe your Bell phone will
prefer to roam on Sprint.

Sorry, there is no cell phone coverage in Los Vegas because Los Vegas
doesn't exist.  ;-)

Doesn't Bell roam on Sprint in the States? The other CDMA provider
would probably be Verizon.

You'd have to check that out with Fido.  I don't know of any carrier
that will give you free GPRS away from your home system.

GSM in Las Vegas will be AT&T Wireless and cingular/T-Mobile (they
share infrastructure in California and Nevada.)

Verizon and Sprint PCS.

Fido does! well sorta...

Fido GPRS coverage also includes the U.S.

Depending on your GPRS plan, you will be charged accordingly.
So if you have the unlimited package, no extra charge.

I do have the unlimited plan.

I just have to make sure that my Merlin card is on T-mobile.

I guess that not all hotel room provide free RJ-45 plug with free internet
yet.

T-Mobile does not have a network in California or Nevada.  T-Mobile
uses cingular's infrastructure.  Same thing in the metro New York City
area.  cingular does not have network in metro NYC and uses T-Mobile's
infrastructure.
