Can't you just walk around with a laptop with wireless enabled and see
if it picks up anything?  This is what I did at my last job and found
our finance director had put an access point in his office.  I logged
into it (he never changed the default password) and set an access
password so he could not connect to it anymore.  Surprisingly he never
asked me to fix it for him since he knew that wireless was not allowed
in the office.

We do not use wireless at all to avoid regulatory issues that are not
worth it. That said, PCI standards require that we use a wireless
analyzer to ensure that no rogue WAP is set up on our network. Makes
sense. I have looked at several and the price ranges all over the place.
Since all we need to do is look for unauthorized wireless, I don' t need
all the features of most of these.

I am curious who else is working on PCI and has similar issues or
approaches for this piece.
