i took 300k back from LV in a backpack, the backpack was searched, and the security guard laughed, and told me he wished he was as lucky as me.

Im thiking of making a trip from the UK soon , should it be fine to just take 20k on the plane with me then ?

TNUC you cant take more than $10k in from UK, not without alerting customs etc and getting clearance for it anyway

Last time I was in vegas I wired 20 or so out there and carried twenty with me. It is pretty easy to wire to the bellagio.

over new year's lefort and i both wired money to the Venetian where we were staying and they would only give us like 15% of what we wired in cash to go play at bellagio/elsewhere and it ended up being a huge pain in the ass as we had to like launder it out of the casino playing bj/short poker sessions/having other people cash out for us.

So, if I were you I'd just carry it.

Theres a very small chance you'll get detained and questioned on the off chance security even notices the money. In this worst case scenario, they still aren't going to charge you with a crime or send you to Guantanamo or anything.

It is legal to bring any amount of cash. No report is needed in domestic flights. For 10K or more on International flight, just report before landing to US airport - they give you a form.

BTW, there are citibank offices just two blocks away from the strip on Paradise Blvd.
