First time going to Vegas need help

Yes you're fine bringing that much cash. Technically supposed to report anything over 10, have brought 30 in 10 bundles. Just keep it on your carry on that you bring with you. Anything you deposit back into bank that's 10 or over gets a CTR written up about it. Just bring it back. Break it up. Put it in different spots in your bag. Worse case they stop you and tell you you need to go fill out paperwork tontravel with it. I go to Vegas about 10x a year for sports haven't been stopped or even questioned yet. Casino wires can be expensive.

They won't write you a check.


Split up large bets to different casinos

If you fly domestically you don’t have to report. Hiding excessive money flying out of the country is a huge risk and you will likely lose it if caught. Trying to avoid CTRs is a structuring.

[MMANick]

Also if you care about the quality of your drinks and not the cheap stuff (or expensive good stuff) the casino serves...hit the Total Wine right by the airport. I do it every trip so I can grab a decent selection of beer and a good bottle of bourbon for myself and a couple of bottles wine/Champagne for the wife.

Now you always have enough drinks for your room and you can take good roadies with you if you are heading out to the strip.

Don’t settle for cheap water downed drinks.

When my girl and I go, I tip for my first drink $10-$20 and tell them to keep them coming. They're always strong, and I usually get a refill before the drink is gone.

What a thread. Some classic posts in here.

[Grits n' Gravy]

contact a host wherever you are staying

Host is going to do jack shit for someone solely playing at sportsbook.

So much wrong in your response.

You can travel with 30k but if tsa decides to mess with you, they can confiscate cash and put burden of proof on you to prove it is all legal. Been there, done that. A royal pain in the ass. Plus legal fees. Breaking transactions up into smaller ones to avoid paperwork is called structuring and casinos have no problem filing SAI on you for it which can place you in crosshairs of treasury dept. A potentially far bigger headache than traveling with large amount of cash.

Casinos will cut you a check on wins but you need to request it when you cash tickets. Once you walk away from counter with cash, they will not cut you a check.

Staying at the cosmo. So I contact the host there? And I would rather bet at Cesar's sports book. I heard that's the best book to bet because they take your action unlike some who have limits

Good luck. Have fun and Caesars book is nice but shitty odds. They will take some action but with your bankroll, don't be concerned. 10k is peanuts during March Madness.

Also, ignore any advice from jj or fishhead. They are bottom feeders.

I love March madness in Vegas

I use to go to Vegas for March Madness. Sports books were always packed in all the Major Casino's and the people were going nuts.. Losing tickets thrown all over the floors.. ... It is a good time...

I'm with JJ though, place the bets online and chill at home. Split screens, turn on all monitors and Tv's you have, crack open a beer and watch the Madness....

I just went for the first time 2 months ago and got some good recommendations. Dont see circus ole. I saw 0 for like 250$ and was just mindfacked counting down the seconds until i could go gamble again. Definitely try and catch a vegas knights game and a pool party at hardrock or mgm if that's your thing.

Take ubers everywhere you don't plan on walking. The strip is gigantic and it would take quite a long time jsut to walk from the bellagio to the mgm grand. Get ubers from the airport and have them stop at a liquor store and the dispensary that are on the way. They have vapes and I would stealthily rip those in all the casinos. I was drunk/ high pretty much the entire trip and had all these plans and barely did any of them. Get stoned and watch the bellagio fountains for 30 minutes. I really liked the Aria sportsbook. During march madness you'll probably have to get there very early to get a seat. A lot of the hotels have apps you can put your bets in thru to avoid the long lines. Definitely look into those. Put a 20$ bill in between your id and credit card when you check in and ask if any upgraded rooms are available. They hooked me up with a better room with a good view of the strip and gave me a few buffet tickets. Good luck.

Tipping server will not get you stronger drinks.

$20 trick is garbage unless youre staying in a dump.

[freeVICK]

Use that 10k on the tables. You don’t get comps at the sportsbook

[TheMetsSuck]

for every 100$ i spent i got a drink ticket and max of 4 at a time even if i bet 2k which is crazy bc you can get a drink playing 5$ blackjack or sitting at poker tables like hotcakes. the 20$ trick is worth it imo. all you have to lose is 20. if they have a better room they will hook you up and at the minimum give you some buffet tickets

when you stay at a hotel that offers $5 Blackjack lol

[toughone]

They do have banks here.

best vegas advice I can give you is to do this in front of every hot babe you see:

Well, I guess I was drunk on the air all of the times I've been to Vegas lol. Different people probably have more success than others.

[opie1988]

Just realized weed is legal and they have dispensaries all over the strip! Wow this is going to be even better than I expected. Can we vape the hash oil anywhere?

I saw plenty of fukkin retards walking around vaping, blowing out HUGH fukkin amoke clouds. They looked like complete fukkin idiots.

And trust Grits, those casinos will not give two fukks about your sportsbook play. Nada. It means jack shit to them.

Good stuff, Op. Great minds think alike.

I can't stand these MFers take a puff of the vipe-pipe and blow it out like the exhaust from a jet. GTFOH

[dlowilly]

Cosmo is a nice place to stay great view of the strip on that side. Lots of nice scenery walking around too

Their tables and machines kind of suck though

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Some of us aren’t going anywhere and we need help.

[lonegambler23]

big balla shot calla

[jjgold]

Why do people not go to nice places?

Why gamble on vacation? It means your a compulsive gambler also

Get away from gambling on your vacation

Aria....home base Vegas

[GT21Megatron]

Stayed at the Cosmo back in 2013 during March Madenss. Sportsbook was kinda shitty back then not sure about now. First and only time in Vegas and it was unreal. Only thing we realized quick was even with tickets st the bar beers were still like $9-$10....We went to Walgreens around the corner and got 4 20 packs on the second day and put them on ice in the bathtub up in the room. Went up to the room and got two at a time but defiantly worth it if your slugging beers the way we were....

Man great info thanks a lot man.

[bracephilosophyy]

Tickets for the Wynn sports book to watch the games are 350 a person I just looked into reserving but that seems high. Also will be going to the Vegas knights game at 1pm and then hitting up the pool party after. Is it easy to get laid ? I'm pretty ripped and have a 6 pack I work out a lot. Not looking to pay for sex I get it free just wondering if it's hard or easy in Vegas

[TheMoneyShot]

Fixed it for you

[El Nino]

CG app. You will waste your entire day standing in lines to bet otherwise. You are already going to have to give them your social security # and ID for that. Put your $ on there and cash out when you leave. Hit a bank up before you hit the airport. No need explaining to some moron TSA agent where you got your cash. Don't vape, it's for homos. Don't buy coke on the street, it's fake. You will not get a seat in any sportsbook to watch the game without spending $150/hour on beers & food. Better odds off shore as always. Enjoy.

[TheMoneyShot]

I kind of agree with JJ. What's the point in going to Vegas??? You have to win 2k just to break even with all your BS expenses.

Umm let's see. It's my first time going to Vegas. It happens to be march madness, st pattys day, and spring break all in one weekend. I'm 28 years old in the best shape of my life. I have 10 racks to spend and don't care about losing it so it won't make me go broke. I'm willing to afford to risk it. I got 3 nights at the cosmo and airfare for 500 so that's why I'm going in the first place. Also going with a group of my buddies getting bottle service at clubs.

[mpaschal34]

You are not cool until you go to Vegas and have bottle service at da club.
