Title: Taking Money Into Vegas Post by: DungBeetle on April 30, 2008, 05:20:11 PM All
Some advice please - I hear US customs are pretty fussy about how much cash you can take into Vegas. Does anyone know the limit, and have any advice on what method to use to have funds available during WSOP? I am looking to take in about 20k USD, but I'd rather not use ATMs due charges, withdrawal limits and not being able to keep track of the money. For obvious reasons I'd also rather not be wandering around with 20k in cash as well. Does anyone have any experience of pre-event WSOP registration - did this go smoothly? Many thanks guys James Title: Re: Taking Money Into Vegas Post by: RobS on April 30, 2008, 05:38:35 PM I think the cash limit is $10k but you can take more if you declare it at customs. My favoured method is to wire money direct to the Bellagio cage, kept money there for two years and never had a problem. You can probably do the same with the Rio, not sure.

No charges ever for withdrawal, and top exchange rate every time... Other than that, I dont have any other constructive advice..
Enjoy WSOP..
