I'm just back from 2 weeks in Vegas, instead of the usual doom and gloom I'm coming back up! what's the best way to get good rates changing dollars back to pounds?? I did get a buy back rate when I changed money, but it's only up to my original transaction ($5k @ 1.5 to the pound) but I now have $10k!! is there a way to not get screwed changing the other 5k?!?

I prob spent about 3/4k between booze/food/shopping for the 2 wks. it's been a really good trip. I've stayed away from the pit tables and stuck solely to poker and it's been great. I think a lot of loose money flying around because of the wsop being in town!!

+1 Euros and Dollars are traded amongst my mates at the spot rate. The whole group saves tens of thousands every year.
