We have this.  Guest wireless is open, you need to enter your email, name, etc. and you get 24 hours of access.  
We’ve only been doing it for a few months and so far we have had no issues with several thousand users.

8300+ unique devices since March 28, to be a little more specific.  :)

There are obviously a lot of dips and peaks in some of our data, but we're averaging over 260 unique registrations
