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

[PickWinnerAllDay]

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!

[PickWinnerAllDay]

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.

You could rob a casino

come on... serious question! Would a casino allow me to take 5,000 off my DC?

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Most ATMs have a pretty low limit, and I'm pretty sure my bank limits $600 a day withdrawn anyway.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Not sure then.....what's your big play?

[ProfaneReality]

Do you have any reloadable debit cards ?

I'll post the ticket if/when I can figure out how to get money down.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Nah, my online book doesn't do CC's so I wouldn't have any use with them.

[MoneyLineDawg]

What about opening up another online book....maybe a local?

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.

Pawn shops open on Sunday, bring the Rolex!

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

[VegasVixen]

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.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Maybe Walmart has something you can do.....not sure

Why not call a casino right now and ask them.....they should be able to help you

[PickWinnerAllDay]

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.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

U don't sound Big-time at all.

Okay so I could go to Vegas, go to ** and send a ** to myself for 5K and pick it up right at the same location?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Travelers Checks?

[rm18]

go around to all kind of stores buy a candy bar and get cash back with the purchase

I'm not I guess because if I was I would know how to do this.

[VegasVixen]

I think you can m-g to yourself. Go find a 24-hr walmart, m-g to yourself, p-up in vegas.

[bswagos]

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.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Yikes, $276 in fees to go the ** route.

[mtneer1212]

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.

There is your answer.

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

[TheCentaur]

Most ATMs have a pretty low limit, and I'm pretty sure my bank limits $600 a day withdrawn anyway.

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

[ProfaneReality]

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.
