Evolution of carrying cash:

Trip 1. Buying drinks. Withdraw $60, put in wallet.

Trip 2. Playing serious home game. Withdraw $300, put in wallet.

Trip 3. Bankrolled for $1-$2 in Vegas. Carry $900 in $20s. They don't fit in a wallet. Big psychological moment, and not a happy one. Fold over, put in pants, feel nervous walking in.

Trip 4. Ready for $5-$10, carry $5,000. Never carry a $20 again. Use two rubber bands.

Trip 5. $10-$20, first go, $13,000 in pocket. $10,000 is rubber-banded together with 14 rubber bands. Lose $3K in an hour, feel worst you've ever felt.

Trip 6. Wide-open $10-$20, might play $25-$50, have $17,000 in front pockets, damn these jeans are getting tight.

Trip 7. $25-$50 for real, might play $50-$100. $30,000 does not fit in jeans pocket. This is the second big moment, because you have to decide whether to wear khakis, wire money, or put cash in your CARRY-ON which is harder than the transition from wallet to pocket. Much, much harder.

Put cash in carry-on, seriously wish you could carry a firearm in Vegas.

Trip 8: oh wait I have a day job.
