There are no banks on the strip. I haven't actually changed sterling into dollars as I usually take US$ travellers cheques and withdraw cash from the ATM.

I have read that you can change money at the cashier's cage. It may be worth calling your hotel and asking what their rate would be and whether there are any fees or commission charges.

We changed some Sterling and Euros at the casino cage in Wynn last year. They check the rate at the time you ask, so it changes constantly. The did not charge any commission, but the rate was nowhere near as good as the rate I got from my Nationwide card. If I remember correctly, the Euro rate was better than the Sterling, but they weren't keep on changing €50 notes because of the potential for counterfeits.

If you use an ATM card it's much easier. You normally get charged $4 for using it so get plenty out in one go and it will save on the charges.

I'm only using mine about three times a day in Vegas now

I belive Casino Royale has the best ATM only charges $1 for transactions

In November 2008 Casino Royale was $1.50, BUT all the ATM slots were covered over and the machines were only TITO redemption, so you couldn't use them anyway. Ellis Island was $1.50 too.

Shame they are going to start charging for Nationwide withdrawals, although I read it is less expensive than many other bank's cards!

Hi Lesley, are the Nationwide going to charge for transactions all over the world or just in the States? Also, do you know how much? Is it going to be a percentage or a fixed fee?

It's going to 0.84% and only in USA to begin with. Later on it will be everywhere. That's how I read it from the website.

Aww thanks Pebbles.
