How to bring your bankroll for a trip to Vegas

[bilbo-san]

I haven't played in Vegas in about 6 months, and my bankroll (and thus stakes) have tripled since then.

For those of you who make regular trips to Vegas, how do you handle bringing your bankroll?

Specifically, my ATM will only let me withdraw $500/day, which is basically one buy-in -- yay. But I don't want to withdraw for weeks beforehand and be carrying around wads and wads of cash. Or if I get a bunch of travellers checks, but have a very good day or two at the tables, I again, don't want to be carrying around huge wads of cash in my wallet, for security reasons.

I also don't want to pay exorbitant fees for using a credit/debit card.

How do you guys usually handle this kind of thing? I tried a search, but I'm thinking I don't know which keywords to use or anything because I didn't get useful results.

Thanks for suggestions.

Just make a bank transfer to the cage at the casino where you are staying. Call the casino, i am sure that they can provide specifics.

So if you are bouncing around lots of casinos, do you take cash when you leave the casino that you first wired it to?

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.

I highly doubt than amounts bigger than 10K will get much, if any, trouble at the airport if you also have a ticket to LV.

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?
