do Vegas casinos charge any fees for cashing a cashier's check? If I cash a check for $1000 will I get $1000?

Some casinos will not accept a Cashier's check as it's considered a 3rd party check as strange as it sounds. Check with the "Cage" of the casino you're going to visit prior to your trip.

I've had no problems using Traveler's checks. A long time ago anyway.

Travelers checks work most places. Cashier's checks are potential fraud item, so I would also be way of using them. Calling ahead is a good idea.

I agree with you ER...the way to go. Almost any casino will cash the VISA ones, and they are insured.

good luck

Nope...not at least the ones I have cashed them in. You just need proper ID and they turn them into cold, hard cash. Not that I ever had any difficulties with the American Express cheques, but the Visa ones probably work in more places (other than casinos). AAA uses Visa now for their cheques, so that's usually how I roll.

good luck

Get the AMEX gold card or higher and you can order large $ traveler's checks via phone and debited from your checking account.

It could depend how much you are looking to withdraw. I go with travelers cheques, but I do get them for free afterall.

good luck
