Hi all,

Looking at taking aroung $15k to Vegas shortly, and need advice as to the best way of doing this?

Do i take cash after changing it here? Or can i wire transfer it to the hotel?? (New york new york)

Also, when return with (hopefully!!) more money?? Whats the best way to change it back to stirling as i lost alot on poor selling price last time from travel agents.

Thanks

Max

$15k is middle ground, probably just but cash from one of the wholesale places in London and declare it.

If regular / and or I'd say $25k plus, open a $$$$$ avvount with bank (FD free and no charges if you bank with them), buy from someone like UK Forex where first deal is free, they put it in your $$$$ account, which takes about three days then if you win casino just wire back to $$$$$ account and your in control to either hold there for next trip or play currency game and exhnage back using Forex to get best rates.

Unless you are a reg player or visitor tho its prob too much hassle so just do first option and google for best rates, there mostly London based and piss all over M&S etc for that amount.  Think I used Thomas place in Hammersmith a few times, but google and youll see option genrally 2/3c better than High Street

Thank you, ive been in touch with a London based broker and sorted out the issue, thanks for your advice :)

Make sure you declare it both when you leave and when you arrive in Vegas.

Whats is the process for this?? Is it fairly simple and done at customs when you land? All advice welcome on this as its new to me!

You have to fill a form in on the plane, if you have more than $10k declare it, and then when asked how much money you have tell them at immigration.

It's a simple and easy process mate, really nothing to worry about when you're taking $15k.
