Keeping your $$$ Safe

A bank wire also has a fee.

Most banks waive fees for incoming domestic wire transfers for
"relationship" customers (those with large balances and/or multiple
accounts). Many waive or reduce outgoing domestic wire fees for those
customers, as well.

You might want to consider establishing a line of credit at a couple
of your main casinos.

Getting money *to* the casino is a problem most of them are delighted to
help you solve; travellers' checks, teller's checks, line of credit, are all
available. More often, players are concerned with getting money back home,
especially if they have substantial winnings. When the winnings are in
cash, the anti-money-laundering laws and regulations make it hard to change
that cash into anything safer to carry.

Yes, it does, but it partitions its business based on where the account was
opened; it is difficult or impossible (depending on where that home account
is) to deposit money to it through a Nevada branch.

Citibank also has LV branches, though not as many as BoA. And they allow
deposits by out-of-state customers. Also, Citibank issues more credit cards
than any other US bank, and you can make a cash payment on that card at any
branch.

Do the casinos allow you to cash a check and guarantee the check with a
credit card? Makes sense to me.

You are correct that some of their branches aren't 'online' with some
branches in other states. This does not mean you cannot deposit money
to an account based in a different state.

BOA has seperate deposit slips to do this. Simply request an 'Out of
State deposit slip'. These deposit slips lists all the states where
they have branches. You simply check the box that corresponds with
where your account is based and then fill in the appropriate account
number.

If push comes to shove and you have a pot of money to move, just open
a checking account in a LV bank -- any bank -- and write yourself a
check when you get home.

If you can get free traveler checks you get safety, acceptance and no hassels.

I've often wondered why people who travel on a frequent basis to LV don't do this.

If push comes to shove and you have a pot of money to move, just open
a checking account in a LV bank -- any bank -- and write yourself a

Most banks in LV won't let you open an account if you don't live there. My husband and I had to show our mortgage papers to open an account when we first moved to Vegas, because our drivers license were still from MN.

A better idea is to open an account in your home town that is also in Vegas. We use Wells Fargo, but I know there are others.

Sundays and Wednesdays in July are double points days at the KC Ameristar.

However, there's a little twist I don't remember on past double points days:
You have to swipe your slot card at the "2X Points Kiosk" BEFORE you play.
