What's the best way to handle money transactions with the casino? Do I open up an account there and EFT money from my bank account there and use it whenever I like? How would I go about doing this, and how much time would I need to give before I can use said funds? Or do I just keep a pile of chips in one of those lock-boxes I see in the cashier's cage? Or Other?

The easiest, and perhaps most efficient, way to do this is to keep a mini (or buy-in) bankroll in big chips. For example, if you're regualrly playing 40-80, you should bring $5,000 to the casino on Day 1 and purchase five $1,000 chips.
Then, when you actually play 40-80, you bring a couple to the cashier and get $2,000 worth of $10 chips to play with. When you cash out, you request $1,000 chips(and $500 when necessary), put them in your pocket, and go home.
When you want to cash out your profits, you request the appropriate amount of cash in addition to your $1,000 chips.

Isn't 4 or 5 itty bitty chips (even of large denomination) easier to lose or get pickpocketed than a huge wad of bills? Why don't you recommend a box in the room he most often plays at?
