And some of you are overconfident regarding Bellagio 5k flags.

I have gotten heat when trying to cash in those chips at times. Now I avoid them like the plague and stick to 1k and below.

This is true...Bellagio flags are theoretically ok for casually transferring debt among poker players or transporting large amounts of money, but you can't easily redeem them for cash at the cage without going through a whole process, sometimes even if you have action they tracked. In fact, the Bellagio main cage (might be different in the poker room or Bacc pit) wants an explanation for every cashout over 3K in my experience. Dan Druff is right, and it's total BS.
