I agree with the big chip response. Not only are they far easier to carry (not that I ever play that high) but they also allow you to keep that bankroll separate. Plus the few times I've carried those $500 or $1000 chips made me feel special. And also a lot less vulnerable than when I have to peel through my wad of $50s in the McDonalds line. (Never know when a hamburglars about!)

You think so? The seller would have to be pretty damn trustworthy for me to buy a 5k chip off them.

I don't know if this has been mentioned because I didn't read the entire thread, but having played a lot of poker with drug dealers I know those guys don't deal with 100s. A drug dealer goes on the sheet for a few dimes, you are getting paid with a brick of 20s.
Also for your information if you are found carrying over 10k cash it can be confiscated no questions asked.

You can't just walk into a casino with a big chip and get it cashed unless they gave it to you. They know who they give these chips to and check your players card when you cash them. If they didn't give it to you there will be a lot of questions. I believe they will eventually cash it but you may have to get Gaming involved.

They can confisicate anything over $10,000 until you prove where it came from NQA. i.e. if you are carrying 10,002 all they can take is $2.

It's been a while, but it is not illegal to carry around large sums of $$$, so they can't confiscate anything. In fact it's only the customs regulations that allow them to ask if you have over 10K upon entry into the US.

Also FWIW, it is a pain to carry a big wad around, but it sure beats the heck out of sending a wire to the casino and then trying to get your own money from the cage.

I just take my briefcase along and put my roll in a pocket there.
