    Cash Availability Problem (Vegas) Need Information from Experienced Vegas Goers

    Alright, here is my situation. I'd love to book a flight early tomorrow to Vegas and get in town in time early enough to place a big, big, big wager that I really like. Bigger than my online book will accept. (then again, Bet islands limits are pretty low.)

    I need cash obviously, but the banks in town are closed and they'll be closed in Vegas too since it is Sunday.

    How can I get cash in Vegas? I know the ATMs or the cashier cage will give me $1,000 off my DC right but what if I want to do a $5,000 bet? How do I get that done? Is there anyway to get this done last moment? Thank you for your assistance!

    As a last case resort, would I be able to do $1,000 off my DC at 5 different casinos? That would kind of suck but if that is what I have to do to get it done I would do it.

    In Vegas go to your banks' ATM and take out the money

    Most ATMs have a pretty low limit, and I'm pretty sure my bank limits $600 a day withdrawn anyway.

    It is certainly an option going forward... but no book is going to let me deposit $5,000 for tomorrow. I'd have to send in like 5 different P2P transfers

    And I live nowhere right now so no locals.

    My most expensive watch probably costs 40 bucks. Damn... someone has to know how to get this done. I know it is possible.

    Use your DC to send a w-u or m-gram to anyone you know... have them pick it up & give you the cash. Don't even wait til you get to Vegas, go do it tonight.

    This has undoubtedly saved many a gambler on tilt at the casino many 1000's of dollars at one time or another, me included.

    Okay that is the best idea yet.

    Can I send a $5,000 ** to someone?

    Ah damn it ** wouldn't be open by the time I had to leave this morning to get to Vegas in time.

    He can actually send it to himself. I've done that in the past when I didn't want to carry $$$ while traveling abroad.

    Call the casino and ask for a host. They will be able to give you a credit app and give you a marker, all the easier if you have that money in your account.

    Call a large casino of your choice and see if they will give you credit, or allow you to cash a check. That is the best option.

    I know from experience that m-g will not take dc or maybe that is just the CVS locations.

    Im not in Vegas, but around here there are several banks in grocery stores open on Sunday.. I have to imagine there's a grocery store somewhere around Vegas with a bank in it. Find one, and do a cash advance

    I don't know about personal limits your bank has, but I know the ATMS in Vegas allow at least 2k withdrawals, maybe more.

    You can also call your banks 800 # and tell them you need a temporary limit increase, most will grant a 24 hour window where they increase atm and purchase limits

    Do you know off hand the fees involved with a cash advance at another bank off a DC?

    Then there is the limit issue... will banks really allow a $5,000 cash advance off a DC?

    When I did it I called my credit union (which is way cheaper than any ** outlet) and had them send my money by W U to me. The sender was actually the credit union name.

    You can still go online and do it to yourself, although I think its only a 1K limit for 1st timers, but not sure.

    I think they have some kind of rule where it has to be sent from a destination X amount of miles away from the pickup location, so I don't think you could do it at the very same location.
