Ambitious Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 What dates are you in Vegas buddy? I'm going to be there from July 19 - 23 Really? We'll have to have a meet up - I'm there from the 13th to 27th.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Really? We'll have to have a meet up - I'm there from the 13th to 27th.. Yeh definitely. As for money, are you going to carry that sort of cash around on you? I'm just going to do what I always do and draw out from my card as I go along. Going to San Fran on the 9th, going to Yosemite and then driving down with a mate for a week to LA. Will finish my trip off with four days in Vegas before heading back down to Baja.

I would like some sort of card, but I don't know too much about that to be honest. I heard that debit cards are really, really poor in america, anyone know if that's true? if not then that'd be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you get the better exchange rate because you do it before you go and you can draw money at over there as normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurrencyFair looks pretty good on the face of it, getting a lot more than Asda/Tesco which I found was giving me the best rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
