Done that 1000 times. I see that you are not in Provo, UT, you should be able to find somthing to drink.
First choice, go have a drink at hotel bar and hope there is a good looking women in the same situation as you. If it's not the case, and you have a laptop with internet, 2 bottle of wine and a game of poker is my prescription. If you don't have a laptop, you will need 3 bottle of wine.
My worst situation like that was in a big city on a country where you can't be safe. I was warned not to go outside the hotel fense without the taxi driver that was assign to me. When I saw the guards with machine guns wearing bullet prouve vest (some with holes in it) in front of the hotel, I decided to trust the advice not to go outside. I was there for a few weeks and each Friday 5pm until Monday mornings, I had to stay inside the hotel. No internet connection, some tv but nothing interesting. Alchool was my solution.
My best experience was in Fairbanks, AK. Had 2 days without nothing to do. Found a bar and had wonderfull times chating with locals and workers stock there.
If you don't drink, I'm sorry but I have no idea.

Download "Silent Hunter IV" the submarine sim game! Hours of navigating, stolking, torpedo shooting, and time wasting for those days where you have nothing to do but have to stay sober ;)
We all got into it at my company last summer. Makes the day go by when there are no fires.....

I can get through windows solitaire in under 60 seconds with a good hand. It is well under 2 minutes for me to know whether it's winnable or not (70-90 seconds)... solitaire doesn't help pass the time as much as it used to.
