Tal not as sure you will have a mark on you like 2pac must have had!

Well I had this beef with Biggie a few years back but I'm sure that's all forgotten about now.

Pretty sure he's not that fussed about it anymore Cheesy

IIRC they had publicly made up before either was shot. That whole thing was just daft. Puts Oasis v Blur into context.

What to do with money?! I have heard many different ideas, travelers checks loading credit cards etc etc but im not sure at all.

my budget it £3-4k at the minute im thinking to take about $1000 in cash and then put £3K on a credit card to use if i need it!

Coming back say i won $5K are there options to wire the money or should i just bring back the cash? (Positive mental attitude here Wink)

i just took cash when i went, that was about 3k.

Maybe use a prepaid card for some of it and use the card for non-gambling stuff, but for these amounts wouldnt faff around with travellers checks etc.

When coming back bring all in cash and just offer to swop at spot on here. Always, always find someone looking for $$$

Yeh was thinking that my only issue is i just don't feel comfortable carrying large amounts of cash as i will be traveling alone and if i have a lot on me i wont sleep on the plane etc if i know its in my pocket/bag etc!

are prepaid cards better than credit card. If i went the cage to withdraw from a pre paid card/ credit card will i get charged through the roof?

I just took mostly cash and then a bit on card for shopping etc.

This was the best available prepaid card as of last summer http://www.fairfx.com/

I wouldn't be worrying about carrying cash on the plane, how many times have you heard of someone getting their dough taken on a flight?

Don't leave $kkk in a bag while you sleep...

Getting money off cards can range between expensive and awkward.  You are going to get a really crap rate from a casino cage (compared to what you could get via other methods)  How many $$ that crap rate costs you obv depends on the scale of the transaction.  For small amounts, it might well be reasonable to take the hit on the $$ losses for the convenience.  Flip side, for smaller amounts, more reason just to deal with cash.

One thing you can do to minimise the cash handling is to take a modest amount with you in cash.  If you start to lose, charge everything you can to your room (even better if 6 go to dinner, you can pick up the cash and charge the lot to the room) and pay on card when you check out.  If you start to win, pay for stuff as you go in cash and also rather than bring $$ home, pay cash on check out too.

Do we have an update regarding the opening post for this year?

I guess that not much has changed since the first post, and everything is as is?

Well.....  The IP is now the Quad, but still a flea pit.  The schedules are obviously no longer valid, but everything else is pretty much where we left it Tongue

To be honest 'Vegas tilt' is way more likely than getting mugged. For that reason having a second supply arriving half way through your trip is a spot on idea.
