Bringing cash to vegas

valor

OK, now that got a house sorted for vegas for the summer, my next problem is how im gonna transport my cash there to play cash games

ocallagh suggested setting up an account with one of the casinos and wiring it to them - does anybody have any better ideas?

thanks

if you have a credit card lodge all your cash to this then use it as a debit card instead of a credit. simply withdraw cash as you need it

pokerstars might have a place to withdraw money from your account, they did at the pca this year, though that was a pokerstars event.

putting it on my credit card means taking it out of online and then back into dollars, so I would get charged twice for foreign exchange

I just spoke to some guy at the Bellagio cage and I think that method is best, just wiring it to a casino and then using it once I get there, seems pretty easy and they dont charge 4 the service

I may be ill informed but I was once told that (usually) your credit card is insured against fraud but any actual credit that you may have on your card is not. So if you go trotting off to Vegas with a few k on your card and it gets nicked then you could be in trouble. Can anyone confirm?

So I could get Stars or Neteller to wire the money to the Bellagio for me? This would be great for me as I'm not planning on going home before Vegas and all the money I want to bring is online (mix of $ and €).
edit: or indeed Green Joker, looking in your direction too
