$100 Notes

[Rod]

Hi Guy's

Off to Vegas in a few weeks not been for a while and have only just checked the dollars I had from last time. Most of it is in $100 notes are there any major problems that anybody knows of spending these in Vegas? Will bars and restaurants accept them or will I need to get them changed at the hotel? Will the hotel do this? Is it better to get them switched into smaller notes before I go or does it not matter?

I have am also going to email Harrahs to ask them if there are any issues doing this.

Cheers

No problems with changing them anywhere unless they're hooky.

They are totally standard, Rod, everybody uses them & all places take them without batting an eyelid.

Might be an idea to break one of them before you go.  It might save you an argument with your cabbie and also doesn't hurt if you want to tip a few $$ to a skycap/bellhop/taxi marshall/shuttle driver etc.

Thereafter, $100 are abso fine.

Part of my morning ritual when heading downstairs for breakfast each day is to push $100 through a bill breaking machine.  20x $1, 8 x $5 and some twenties.  Most days you will be going through it and over-tipping $20 because you don't have a $5 and cba to wait/ask for change adds up.

They seem more wary of $50 notes if anything.

Cheers all, didn't know about the bill breaking machines, thought they were just cash machines but that is great. I have some smaller notes as well for tips etc but didn't want the hassle of having to get them changed in Vegas if it was going to be a problem, obviously isn't. Thanks

Outside Vegas they aren't standard.

Was quite surprised at this.

News to me too, but in Vegas, it's different, of course.

Not sure this is true.  I have never had any problems in Miami spending them.  They are certainly much less problematic than a fifty pound note would be in England.

This was why I asked to be honest. I once picked up some £50 notes at the cash desk at a casino in this country went to buy a round at the bar and had the same £50 note I had got at the cash desk refused at the bar. Like Tikay said I suppose Vegas is different.

I have always called £50 notes Casino Vouchers. It is the only place you can spend them.

Unless you work in wholesale, prostitution or pay cash for dodgy builders.
