Are there really no better options than ATM's for people traveling internationally?

If we WD $10k and maybe win something, we ideally don't wanna have to carry all that cash going home.

Being able to use ATM's for free (minus conversion fee) is a huge improvement over the traveler check days.

Getting a large amount of money in a foreign country with the goal of having even more money in that currency at the end of your trip is an extreme edge case. For Vegas and the WSOP specifically there's a good chance you find someone to trade with, especially if you're from a country that uses €. That's 350mil people. Other than that you can try to trade for Crypto or PokerStars money.

If you want to send a lot of money, you can also do that directly via wire transfer to the casino cage. If you cash big in a WSOP event, you can have them send a wire transfer to your bank.

Supposedly wsop is not accepting incoming wires this year.

Lot of beer snobbery in this thread.

I don't drink Bud Lite or Miller Lite and I've never liked Corona either, but I do happen to like Miller High Life, hence the question.

Pabst... BLUE RIBBON!

If you replace "free better" with "free more expensive" beer in his statement and combine that with the fact that people usually go with the more expensive option for everything free, you have the non-judgmental answer why nobody in here seems to know.

Fun fact about Miller High Life: Last year a shipment of cans with the “The Champagne of Beers” slogan was destroyed by Belgian customs after the French champagne trade organization complained about the slogan. You're not allowed to call anything Champagne in the EU if it's not actually from the Champagne region.

For years, PBR was our go to beer after the Saturday/Sunday morning long run.

My apologies. My local hipster themed bar serves MLH for $5/can. Guessing it's a standard 12oz.

Mac n Jacks African Amber, an amazing local brew that just recently became available in stores, is currently on sale for $10/6 pack. Crazy

Fwiw I cannot force myself to drink low abv corporate lagers. I wasn't exposed to them as a child.

But when in Vegas why not venture out of your comfort zone. It's kind of like travelling to some foreign locale and being disappointed the burger king isn't the same

I wanted to post this in Casual Dining but....

domestic for one, important for another

recently watched a video on jacob's life in vegas about tier matching that a lot of casinos are doing right now. I currently have a trip booked 5/30-6/4 and was thinking about trying to do this. I'm a low roller so I think my best bet would be to get a credit card to move up a status, then move through the process Jacob showed. I double booked at Harrah's and Excalibur and here's what I'm wondering.

1. Would doing this process get me to Diamond status at Caesars? I currently am gold and would not be a new customer;

2. If I'm able to get to a resorts fee waiver level at either MGM or Caesars, woudl I be able to apply that to my stay on 5/30-6/4? As in, I would land, drop off bags, and before checking in use all of these steps. Then, when I go to check in, see if the benefits (including no resorts fees) coudl be applied to the stay that I booked previously on my poverty level tier?

the tier level when you check out is where you are at.
I am also doing this on my trip on my Memorial Day trip.

It also depends on what "steps" you're talking about. Matching from casino to casino is probably instant when you're on property, but some of these credit card and/or hotel matching programs take time to go through the system. There's a lot of talk about the Wyndham match and some others in the Diamond in a Day thread.

I like a wide range of beers and will drink whatever I'm in the mood for.

I happen to enjoy MHL and was therefore seeking info on where it might be served, not on everyone's opinions.

But such in the modern way.

😃

I'm not positive, but I thought the MGM match was only good for 90 days unless you earn like 50k TC by the end of the year (or is it earlier?).

The whole thing starts with getting caesars platinum.

If you start now, you should be able to get it. Assuming you have ok credit, you can apply online and probably have the card in a couple weeks. If you don't already have a caesars rewards players card, get that first so you can associate the number when you apply for the credit card. You can do that online, but once you arrive in Vegas you'll still need to stop at any caesars property to get the physical card, that you then take to Wynn, etc.

The in-person matches should be instantaneous. So then as long as you're MGM Gold before you check out, you should (at minimum) be able to get resort fees removed, but may need to visit the front desk to accomplish that. I wouldn't count on a nightly rate reduction, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Also, be realistic and pack your patience. Airport > Caesars property > Wynn > F-blu > MGM property is going to be a multi-hour trek with a lot of standing in lines. Make sure to hydrate.

Platinum at Caesars won't get resort fees waived. Have to be diamond for that.

Is it allowed to be on your phone at the poker tables in Vegas ?

Not while you are in a hand.

When and where have you seen that enforced the last time?

people are on their phones all the time.

If you are staying at the Excalibur and Harrah's I can't see chasing comps at the Wynn. Seems like a lot of hassle to save less than $100.

The Wynn would be a step in the process of saving $200 to stay at excalibur haha

Depends what he means by "on the phone." If he means playing with it or checking facebook, never. If he means in the old-school sense of speaking with someone on a phone call, all the time.

has anyone been to the new Pop Stroke golf?
