Re: How do you get your cash to Vegas?
[ QUOTE ]
I believe there are traveler's checks in denominations larger than $100 if you want to go that way. Personally, I'd just take the cash, but otherwise wire the money. Casinos will not give you instant access to cash upon receipt of a cashier's check, which can be forged.

Casinos may not give you access to cash if you wire it. There have been a couple postings about this. Someone found out the hard way Venetian (I think it was) absolutely would not under any circumstances give him the money he wired in cash. They would only give him access if he played a Venetian table game with it. Someone else had a similar problem at Rio (of all places) but was able to get it resolved, eventually. It'd be a rude surprise to show up at the cage at 9am the morning of your WSOP tourney and ask for your $5000 and be told you can't have it for that purpose. Bellagio seems to be pretty good about it. Call and verify.
Check cashing policies vary by casino, also. Call and verify.
Seriously... for $5000 you really just want to bring the cash.
