At least now I know why it's more complicated to cash Traveler's Checks at casinos than a personal check.
We were at the Grand in Biloxi when I cashed a few traveler's checks a couple years ago. They got my fingerprint on each one, copied DL info on each, phoned Visa to verify that each check was legit. Took over 30 minutes for this 'convenience'. I'd left Hubby waiting at Wheel of Fortune for so long he had played out all his credits and thought I'd been kidnapped as I left the Cashier Cage.
Went through the same process at the GoldStrike in Tunica last summer.
I'd rather not carry my little bankroll in cash while traveling, but dang... the crooks have made the process of using travelers checks very inconvenient now.
