The ACH is ridiculously expensive and couple that with the amount of personal and financial information that PAYFINITI requires this is an easy no go for me personally. I'm not giving them $250 (Literally the cost of my Horseshoe room for the first 12 days ) and open myself up to another damn data breech situation that happens entirely to often anymore (just got an ATT notice of Data Breach letter this week as an example ) when I have other effectively cost free options such as a preapproved Cashiers Check. I will throw $10K at entries but I just refuse to pzss away $250 to do so. I can understand some charge for Crypto since it can fluctuate but an ACH of 2.5% is reminiscent of "the good old days" of LV and just usury.

What are the other alternatives? Is there any atm that dispenses 5k? Or at least 2k?

You can wire for $25 plus whatever your bank charges.

But ya, I'll just bring cash this year and not try payfiniti this year and see how other people's exepriences are

Well I have a Wells Fargo bank branch I use at home. I can easily find one near the strip in Vegas. Deposit at home, withdraw in Vegas or vice versa?

There's a big Wells Fargo tower tucked about two blocks behind the Venetian. It's a large corporate office building, but they have a normal branch office on the bottom floor. Good option for cash withdrawals if you have a Wells Fargo account.

APPROVED Cashiers check to Paris to fund your TBIC account.

That will be a tough one, as I am not in my home country (Canada) and will no go back before Vegas...

Question : anyone know of the atm limits in Walgreens/Casino Royale??? I will probably go with crypto/bank transfer for plan A and B, but having atms that dispense 1k with alrightish fees and potentially one that dispenses 5k, would be good to have in the back pocket

$300, it may vary depending on your bank but for mine it was 300.

The daily limits on your bank/credit card are probably more restrictive than the limits on the atm's. Those limits can vary by bank, often depending on customer history. Call your bank or card issuer to find out the limits and ask if they can be raised, if needed. $300-$500 daily would be standard for a regular checking or savings atm/debit card.

Credit card cash limits vary widely, but are typically less than the total credit limit.

My limits are of no concerned (over 5k daily), so my questions applies strictly to the atms in Vegas... 300-500 would unfortunately be of very little use, unless I can do multiple withdrawals of $500... Thx for the responses guys

Just start taking $500/day out now and do that daily until you have your desired bankroll.

I am in Buenos Aires ; I will be in Lima for 3 weeks prior to the series where such an endeavor would be possible, so I might, but crypto might be the best option in the end...

Your bank assigned ATM daily limit would be what you can withdraw daily from any ATM (maybe possible exception since it sounds like you have a foreign/Canadian bank, they could potentially limit you since you are abroad). But if your set daily limit is $7k, you should have no issue pulling out $7k from an ATM. You may want to let your bank know you are traveling, will be in Vegas so they don't flag for potential fraud/card theft if they start to see numerous or large ATM withdrawals. But personally have had no issue pulling $2k in a single transaction from a number of different strip casino ATMs.

I think I’ve seen 3k limits on some ATMs in Vegas casinos. But that may be per transaction.

It’s surprising to me that people have banks that allow them to withdraw several thousand in one day. But I suppose regulations are different abroad. In the U.S., banks are largely on the hook for fraudulent transactions, so they keep withdrawl limits fairly low to control their exposure.

Vegas has lots of banks like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc. The only thing to remember is that when you go to withdraw, amounts like 10k and up will go smoother if you call a day or 2 before you need it.

Great, thx folks, all valuable info

It is def possible to withdraw 1k+ per transaction on pretty much every ATM I ever used in Vegas, at least it used to be, if there was no recent change, this can be an issue elsewhere but in Vegas not so much. If it is, as mentioned it is likely an issue with your bank. Also in Vegas withdraw money not at the strip and not at the airport. The "good" ATM at Casino Royale is gone unfortunately, last time I was there it was replaced by newer ATMs that had strip-typical fees, like 10$ or something IIRC...

This is true of ATMs in casinos, which also tend to have higher fees. ATMs in other locations, like drugstores, will often have much lower limits since they typically only dispense 20 dollar bills.

In the US if you call your bank and request to increase your ATM withdrawal limit they will do it (they almost always ask if this is a temporary or permanent raise). However, there is a certain dollar amount that a bank has that they won't go above unless you sign something that says they won't cover any fraud over $300 (or a similar number) and another dollar figure that they don't care what you sign they aren't going over.

This is from my extremely small sample size of the 2 banks I have a relationship with.

Great, thx! I am hesitating in between the crypto/bank wire options and atms ; the problem with the former is firstly the 3% fee (both ways) and the fees implied with online wire transfers (also from both sides), so atms might be my best and cheapest options, tbh, as a Canadian banking with CAD bank accounts, me thinks...

Bahamas had an easier setup with the WSOP app where you could simply transfer crypto without the added 3%.

Yep, that could be but I usually used regular bank ATMs, like just outside branches of a bank, in the US they are usually widely available and drive through style, these are also my rec for Vegas. Sometimes banks had high fees or won't take your foreign card, that can happen, but low limits was never a problem in Vegas or other parts of the US as far as I recall. It is in other countries.
Generally, I agree that this is really annoying. 3% in and out of crypto is pretty laughable, that's a whole layer of extra rake. Typical corporate Vegas trying to squeeze the last dime out of the customer. Land of the fee.

Yup, adding a potential 6% in rake is just lol , so the only options I see for someone like myself, is spending a few days getting cash out of atms or a bank cash wire (25$ in fees + the CAD side which is about equivalent...).

"land of the fee" and might steal it, if the perfect occasion arises to use it

I'll add on, "Land of the fee, home of the wage slave"

Has anyone tried wiring to Infiniti? The instructions is to wire to "Genesis Gaming Solutions" at Florida Capital Bank located in Jacksonville, FL. It just feels iffy to send money there.
