    Now before anyone tells me off for wanting to wire such a small amount of money please read the full story first!

    Long story short I get paid shares in USD as part of my company, this means I've got about 8k USD sat in a trade account that I want to use to fund this Vegas trip. With that said I don't see the value in converting it from USD to GBP via an expensive Bank Transfer with shitty FX rates just to convent it back at a travel exchange to get USD in cold hard cash to take with me.

    Can anyone think of a better way for me to go about taking my USD and being able to access it in the US as a non citizen? Would wiring it as front money work?

    Appreciate any advice , the less fees I pay the more money I can take as bankroll!

    I doubt the trade account will wire to a third party. If they will, wiring to the casino is the easiest.

    Maybe you can get a USD denominated account at a local bank. Then transfer there and wire to the casino.

    Other option is a US bank account, transfer there and then either withdraw cash in Vegas at the branch or wire to the casino.

    With "Front Money" as a title, I thought this thread was going in a completely different direction. :p

    Thanks Shifter, I can wire to any account I choose at my own liability , however getting a US account as a non Dom is bloody hard.

    Might have to see if I can wire it across.
