Are you moving to vegas? I wouldn't think you need to bring your entire roll, and if you are playing 2/5 NL you shouldn't need more than 5k or so. Can't you just withdraw in person at your bank and then just carrying the paper?

I'm just taking a trip. I'm concerned precisely about carrying around $5k in my wallet in Vegas (fear of being robbed/pickpocketed/etc), but it sounds like many of you think that I'm paranoid.

wallet in back pocket. roll in rubber band in front pocket. you have to realize that this is not a lot of money in terms of walking along the vegas strip. you will be fine.

Keep one hand casually in your front pocket with the rollif you're worried. Cargo pants can also provide a good, modular storage system. I can attest to Velcro pockets saving my wallet at least once.

Most just fill their pockets. If you can't fit hundreds use cashier's checks.

Give the fine folks at Brink a call and rent one of their security officers for the weekend, He'll carry the money around in a big bag with a $ on it and it will only cost about $600 a day. You also get taken too and fro in an armoured car.

Or just do what everyone else does and wrap that rascal and throw it in the front pocket.

Probably being a little paranoid, just remind yourself that a lot of other people probably have $5k or more on them

If you will be staying at one poker room for most of the trip just keep your cash in $1k/5k chips and cash them out at the end of the trip, those fit pretty easily into the wallet and take up less space and you shouldnt ever have more than 5 chips at a time

If you start to talk > $15k cash you will probably be playing one room for the whole trip and can start to just wire it back and forth

I am much more afraid of getting robbed at my local casino vs getting robbed in Vegas, just dont be the idiot that walks between the strip and Palms/Rio area late at night..

In the poker poker room, everyone has a roll over 5K. Your roll won't even turn the waitress's head.

Exactly. Go to a big sportsbook Sunday at 9:30 am. You'll see guys pulling rolls out of their pockets and putting 5 grand each on 4 or 5 games.

for less than 10k, use rubber band + pocket

Don't bring more than 10k on a plane, unless you want to be detained in the event its discovered.

I can't recommend the tinfoil & cucumber method that used to be very popular:

Far as I know, $10K is only important when traveling abroad. You can't come/go outside the US with >$10K without paperwork. But domestically, there ain't no laws about this that I can find. Doesn't mean some power-tripping law enforcement officials won't get a bloodhound to bark at your money and try to take your wad if you bring a bunch, but I know of nothing magical about $10K.
