Interesting money dilemma I\'m going to have at Commerce next week...
 

So I'm going to Commerce next Sunday-Thursday before the Vegas trip, but I have a slight problem. I'm going to be in Mexico from Friday to Sunday afternoon. I drop my friends off downtown at the Greyhound, then head over to Commerce to play.

The issue is how do I get my bankroll there?

I can't very well bring the $3-4k I want to have on me for the $20 and $40 games in cash because I'm certainly not taking that into Mexico, nor leaving it in my car at the parking lot in Chula Vista.

Washington Mutual is closed on Sundays so I can't go to the bank and get it like I planned. And I can't withdraw over $500 a day from an ATM so that won't work either. I highly doubt Commerce is going to take my personal check...

So I guess wiring might work? Anyone know the cost of it and how I can do that with Commerce? Or any other ideas for how I can do this. I could just go to the bank on Monday, but I want to play Sunday night in the $20 at least, so I need $1k minimum for Sunday night.

Why I overlooked this, I do not understand. Commerce cage accepts this I am guessing? Never used them, hope the fee isn't insane.

Yeah, I want $2k to be comfortable the first day though. It's likely I will jump into a 40 game if its good.

I need to go and get this done anyways though.

it sounds like you're driving down there from san jose. can you stop off at the commerce and put your roll in a box?
I have no idea if the distances make this feasible, but you could set off an hour or two early to make it on time.

I believe most vegas casinos will accept a cashier's check if you fax it the cage a couple of days in advance. Mandalay Bay does this, so I assume other casinos have similar rules.

Traveler's checks are a bit of a pain. They only come in $100 maximums, and unless you have an agreement with your bank they're 3% fee on top of purchase price. So $3000 in Travelers' checks = $3090 total plus about 15 minutes of fililng them all out in the bank lobby. Enjoy your writers' cramp!

Okay screw traveler's checks.
