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. |
...........travelers checks used to be the safest way to carry money on trips i thought
, thanks for the info mousey. no more travelers checks for this ole gal when traveling, cold hard cash the only way to go from now on......laurie
