I plan to bring $5K for the WSOP, which will cover the two events I'm playing and some side games. It seems unsafe and impractical to carry that much cash.
Travelers cheques? The largest denominations are $100, so you're still looking at a thick stack, and having to sign them all at the cage. Wire transfer? That's a pain, and you have to do it a few days in a advance. A cashier's check to yourself? Can you just cash it at the cage or hotel? Thanks in advance. |

5k is nothing to worry about to carry in your pocket to vegas, youll be fine. if you really feel unsafe get traveler's checks or make yourself a MO/cashiers check
edit: please disregard if you plan on walking beyond the el cortez on fremont street |

Rubberband + pocket. If this is uncomfortable for you then you are on too short a bankroll to play those events.

FAQ: $5K is easy to carry. It fits in one pocket just fine, or split it between two if you like. Put in a velcro'd pocket if you have one (gotta love cargo shorts) and/or wrap with an asparagus-type rubber band (wide) to make it sticky and keep it together.
Half the people walking down the strip on any given day have >$5K in their pockets. |

I would bet that 20%-30% of visitors don't even gamble and the vast majority of people who do are bringing <$1K for the trip. People holding more than $5K are either: 1) Serious gamblers 2) At least upper-middle class That can't be anywhere near 50% of the people on the strip. |
