You must not have been to Vegas before this.

If I were carrying $10K around on me in Dallas, I'd be a little cautious about it.

In LV, I'll carry $10k around with me in my front pocket and not think twice.

Especially if you're on the strip.

$5K? Don't sweat it bro. $5K doesn't even make a bulge and it's not like someone is going to randomly pick you out of a crowd and steal your money.

I really don't understand the logic of this. Logic would tell me that I'm more likely to be robbed in a place where more people carry around more cash.

There are cameras everywhere on the las vegas strip. Security is quite good. This is not the case in many areas of Dallas.

OP, quit being such a *****

I agree that I'd just take the cash. But people are really being a little cavalier in these posts. Remember, two guys tried to rob Greg Raymer INSIDE the friggin Bellagio. You're telling me nothing can happen walking down the strip??

I carry about $2K on me and the rest of my bankroll is on my WellsFargo Bank Card. There are several branches of WellsFargo in LV and WellsFargo ATMs, one is or was at Harrahs.

I play live fairly regularly and I carry this much on me all the time. You'll get used to it.

5K in Vegas = $20 in every other city

No big deal, and nothing to worry about. Pocket is fine.

Stick it in your pocket, but use a rubber band and NOT a money clip or anything metal. I carried about $2500 in a money clip to Vegas once, then realized while in the security line that I would have to take it out before going through the metal detector.

Milo,

I take a metal money clip through security every time I fly.
