The 40-80 runs everyday, the 80-160 runs on weekends and SOME weekdays (from what I understand). Cash transactions over $10,000 in one gaming day are subject to IRS reporting. One transaction over $10,000 will automatically result in a CTR (cash transaction report) being filed. Common practice is to just go up to the table and buy a rack or two from someone sitting there. People keep chips in the game for just that purpose. People also sell chips to new players for the same reason (as well as when they leave or if others need them).

In terms of security, I don't know about getting a check...I'm sure it could be arranged for 5-figure cashouts. Other options: rent a safe deposit box (great option for a regular, nearly impossible for a tourist); wire money to Borgata and set up a "front money" account which you can draw from and deposit profits into it; take the 100's and go. If you are a regular, setting up one of these options is a good idea. Many people make arrangements and the casino can help you out.
