amazing thread.....thanks sevencard.!

this made me lol, sounds like me. No one thinks the guy in a tshirt shorts and camo hat has a couple grand on him.

I've really don't understand this all, carrying around a few hundred seems reasonable if you plan to buy or eat at random places, but otherwise if you plan to play in one or more casino's can't you just have the money wired, that way you are never carrying that much, don't need to put things in a safe box, you just need to have access to the internet in a casino to decide how much to move.

If someone gets access to you internet account...well be clever and have small ones setup for your fun!

ewwwwww do you hide it under rolls or stick it in your ass crack?

You can get $500 traveler checks from Bank of America (they are free if you have a certain balance). You have to order them- it only took my bank a week. They come in 1500 and 2500 packs.

wire to bellagio, or an alternate base casino.

nvm, my point had been made months ago.

Weird stuff about being killed in your sleep by women though.

Depends totally on the individual. If you are street-smart, then it's pretty much safe and doesn;t matter. If you're no street smart then get it wired and keep it in a lockbox or something at the casino.

glad i safely made it to vegas on my plane today. its not the women who will kill u, its the GUY she will let in once ur asleep. wish women existed in vegas sincerely looking for love and something permanent instead of all the whores strippers and ones desperate for cash. and im no longer worried about where to keep money, bank of america is everywhere.

You need to stop finding all your women out in front of the Trop at 3AM.

learn from the pros...drive, walk, act like the pros...the delivery guy's at Domnios don't carry more than $20 in cash...be smart...this is vegas...the casinos will take away your money!

amazing bump

1. Put roll in front pocket.

2. Wiring is a pain in the ass. Don't do it. Half the time they get it messed up and the other 1/2 it still takes way more time, both to send and then to pick up, than it's worth.

3. To the guy who said just leave your roll in the hotel room while your out, no way I'd ever do that. I'm not even crazy about the hotel room safes. The only time I'll use those is if I'm at a nice place and I'm going swimming.

4. Otherwise if it's an amount more than you're comfortable carrying just pull it out of one of the banks while you're there.

You guys ever hear of kicking the woman out of the room "afterwards" ... it's not a new concept.

well ive just discovered its not good to carry more than $200 for the game if uve got discipline problems playing what u shouldnt. found that out the hard way last 2 days. good idea to keep mostly all ur money in the bank, thats whats nice about having a vegas bank.

How do you figure that's the danger threshold?

Badguy1: "We need to rob someone, hey that guy just put 10k in his pocket and he's all alone?"

Badguy2: "NFW, I ain't robbing anyone with under 30K."

I take it that video poker did not go well.

Winnah!

Last time I was at the Trop that late, I ran into a pimp and man was it scary business since apparently he had been stalking me and knew I had been playing poker at Excalibur (where I was staying) and MGM. Thankfully he believed that silly lie that I was busto and asexual, oh wait..

hahhaha

On a plane that is heading for Vegas...I would say that a lot of people have $2K+ in their pockets...the authorities at the airport are going to be more worried about the condom full of herion in your ass than the cash in your pocket.

No matter what you are carrying, don't pull out the entire wad and fan it out in front of everyone while looking for a single to use as a tip. Keep what you plan to spend plus some extra small bills in one place for easy access. Keep the rest in a different pocket and only let it see daylight when you are alone.

Dunno if somebody already posted about David "Viffer" Peat and taking the plane with lotta cash

There was also a funny story by someone about crossing the canadian border with too much money, maybe in archives, couldnt find it though.

I thought that was the whole point of using the services of a 'professional'. "I'm not paying for 'boom-boom', I'm paying so they'll leave after"

rubber band works best imo

Yeah, Travel with a lot of money has become a little different even within the USA since I first posted in this thread ages ago....

Just to avoid needless hassles---or WORSE---I would be wiring money ahead to Vegas if at all possible or I guess at a minimum buying Travelers Checks (at least if they are confiscated you can get an immediate replacement--I think)

Besides the above posters incident, there is the recent incident regarding an operative of Congressman Paul being unreasonably detained at the St. Louis airport because he was carrying only about $4,700 in cash.

He prolly didnt help himself by not answering some questions, but what does 4700 have to do with him safely traveling on a plane?

Here is excerpt of recorded Iphone conversation:

Officer: Why do you have this money? That's the question, that's the major question. Bierfeldt: Yes, sir, and I'm asking whether I'm legally required to answer that question. Officer: Answer that question first, why do you have this money. Bierfeldt: Am I legally required to answer that question? Officer: So you refuse to answer that question? Bierfeldt: No, sir, I am not refusing. Officer: Well, you're not answering. Bierfeldt: I'm simply asking my rights under the law. [...] The officers can be heard saying they will involve the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration, and appear to threaten arrest, saying they are going to transport Bierfeldt to the local police station, in handcuffs if necessary. [...] Near the end of the recording an additional officer enters the situation and realizes the origins of the money. Officer: So these are campaign contributions for Ron Paul? Bierfeldt: Yes, sir. Officer: You're free to go.
