Not bad either

Yeah, that's a better version of the alternate schedule.

Cheers, Simon.

I'll treat you to a beverage of your choice and Picasso

Booked!

Everyone's different but I like getting a coach to the airport. You can take two cases and it's far more stress free than going by train. I've done that to Gatwick and to Heathrow in the past from Birmingham.

Not quick by any means but cheap and effortless if you're in no rush.

Doing National Express this year as no train on morning so a 345 am start

Train again for me on Sunday.    Sunday service well poor compared to during week.  gonna take me at least 4 hours from Worcestershire

Perfect timing, or not

Meant to be doing dinner with him at Picasso, if that's your kind of thing?

I'm staying At Aria for a couple days when I'm punting that WPT, so if Picasso isn't your thing, we could murder some T-bones one night

For those still able to make $$ playing poker, then skrill/neteller mastercard ftw.  Withdraw from poker site as $ into your $ e-wallet, and (assuming you maintain VIP status) then that $ is available at points of sale as a debit card, or in ATMs for cash withdrawal.  As currency borders are never crossed, then $100 win on stars = $100 in your hand in Vegas, no fees, no charges, no bad rates.

For anyone who visits the USA regularly, Wells Fargo Bank allow non-residents to open a checking account.  It comes with a debit card, so you can transfer money over to the account from the UK using www.transferwise.com to get the best exchange rate (just under spot usually) and then withdraw $ from Wells Fargo branches in Vegas (3 or 4 different branches I believe) or withdraw $ at any ATM (daily limits apply).  If you had a big win over there, you'd be able to deposit the winnings at the Wells Fargo branch and then instruct Transferwise to transfer back to the UK and get an unbeatable rate.

In order to open the account, you have to visit one of their branches in person with 2 forms of ID (1 has to be your passport and the other has to have your address on it).

I've used bank transfer with Thomas Exchange, and it was the same with them.
