How do I get my bankroll to vegas?

[2planka]

This may be a silly question, so flame away if necessary.

Heading to vegas next week and would like to bring along a bankroll sufficient for 10-20 limit play or there abouts. My question is should I wire the funds out there or should I just use my ATM card or some other method?

When I play at FW I just go to the bank and take out the cash for that day's buyin (say 50x BB for a nice round number). I'll be out in vegas for five days of poker. Not comfortable taking that much cash on an airplane. Suggestions?
Edit: changed title.

Recently, I've oppend an acount at Wells Fargo, which
has a branch if not the main office in Las Vegas. I carry
my ATM card with me and just withdraw from the casinos ATM.
I can also do online transfers if necessary.

Previously, I just carried my bankroll on my person, but then it was only a few thousand.

50BB at 10-20 is $1000. Grow a pair and stick it in your pocket. $1000 is not much cash.

Also try travelers checks. But don't use them at Indian Casinos, I got charged $30 to cash $1000 in travelers checks.

Heh. You're correct, of course. For some reason I was multiplying my one day's buyin by 5. Duh. I'll bring more than just the 1K, but probably won't need 5K. Yes, folks, I am a stooge.

There was a post similar to this a little while ago, you may want to check the archives.

For me I guess, it's what you're use to.

I guess I would just carry the cash, it's not unusual for someone, especially if you play live on a regular basis, to have upward of $2,000 in you wallet at all times. So I would imagine, carrying $5,000 would not be a big deal.

Even 5k is small change, I've carried 19k at one time. I must admit I wasn't happy about it... but nobody knows you have the money expect you. Besides, whjat are the odds of you being mugged that day, instead of any other day of your life?

Once you get there, you should use the hotel safe so you aren't carrying your whole bankroll with you at all times. Then you're only carrying a lot of cash on the day you arrive and the day you leave (hopefully).

I just did a Vegas trip and carried 3K on the airplane with no problems. I also used the in room safe at Mandalay Bay to stash my money. I don't think carrying around enough money for a day's play of 10-20 is an issue of safety or convenience in LV.

If you can't feel comfortable carrying 4-5K in your pocket with a rubber band, IMO you shouldn't play 10-20. Yeah, if you play the 20000-40000 game you have to make some arrangements. But 10-20? We had a thread on this before, and I pretty much agreed with snakehead. Poker is gambling. You have to feel comfortable gambling. Gamblers carry cash. If you aren't comfortable there may well be flaws in your game or outlook anyway. Get a good quality rubber band. Fold once. Put in front pocket. There ya go. Don't take it ou at airport secrity, thats all. It isnj't metal. it isn't illegal. Relax.

Besides, the fine specimens at Olympic Garden don't have the time to wait for you to go get a bank wire. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

By Vegas standards, anything less than $10k is considered small potatoes. Stick your wad in your pants and get on the damn plane. Good luck at the tables.
