Casino ATM fees

[Nhcris]

I know many of us use the ATM's for different reasons when we are in the casino. For me there are 2 types of withdrawals.

1. The planned one, meaning that I deliberately did not carry all my cash for a trip planning to use the ATM partway through.

2. The Walk of Shame, which needs no explanation

On my last Vegas trip, the ATM fee at Palazzo was up to $7.99 which really annoyed me, but I did a #1 planned withdrawal, hoping it would get me through the trip. Well, it didn't, so at Planet Hollywood I was forced to take a #2, WOS. Damned if the fee wasn't $9.99! HIGHWAY FREAKING ROBBERY! Since I get $15 in ATM fees a month reimbursed, I sucked it up but it left a bad taste.

Where does it all end, and do you have a point at which the ATM fee is just too high? Short of bringing your whole bankroll with you, how do you get cash in Vegas, or other gambling locations?

I hear ya on the fees. I also get hit with a charge from my bank on top of the casino charge.

A lesson learned the hard way: have a back up card. You need a second source. The last time I stayed at Samstown (Boyd Gaming), they were hacked. My CC company called and my card was one of
hundreds that were stolen from Boyd's system. My card had a fraud attempt on it which the cc stopped. They cancelled it. You could be in trouble if you only depend on one card. It can happen and it doesn't matter if it is your debit or credit. It can cause disruption.

fwiw

When I've needed to go to the ATM in Vegas (and like you it's for one of the two reasons you mentioned), I walk to casino royale. The fee there is $3. And it forces me to cool down and get some steps!

My BR has gotten larger and I feel very anxious abt traveling with it. But I also move my paychecks quickly out of my checking account so I don't have the history or balances to get a line of credit.

We're lucky that our bank reimburses all ATM fees with no monthly limit (I think we're grandfathered into that deal as I've never heard of anyone else having a similar plan). I have been shocked at some of the fees we've seen on our statements though and are thankful we don't have to pay them.

My checking account reimburses my ATM fees and I also opened a ECheck at Cherokee which actually lets me get money with no fees at the vegas CET properties and also some other casinos Venetian charges though to use it ...
