Default Moving to Vegas, going pro, would like guidance

Hi all,

Long-time lurker here (2+ years).

I've finally decided to take the plunge and move to Vegas to play poker full time. This is a decision I'm confident about, and I have every reason to believe I should do fine. I move in July.

My questions are more about the day-to-day processes of playing poker in Vegas. I've recently started to play at the live 30/60 and 40/80 levels and it's just flat out annoying to carry around enough cash to play at these levels, like when I go on a weekend trip to a casino (there are no B&Ms anywhere near where I currently live). So...

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?

Are the Bellagio and Mirage now giving out regular comps? When I first visited Vegas, they seemed very tight with comps, but on my most recent visit, after the Wynn opened, both seemed a lot more accomodating. I much prefer those two card rooms to the Wynn. What can I expect out of them?

How are the games during the week? Every time I've visited Vegas it's been for a weekend. I would hit up the Thur-Sat night games, 10PM - 6AM and found them to be quite attractive. Are Mon - Wed night games significantly worse?

Also, any other advice/tips/suggestions/etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
