Question about using a Credit Card at a Casino

[JosephGian]

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum officially but have been lurking for some ime now and I must say this is a great forum! That being said, I have a quick question for you pro's out there :-) My best friend is having his Bachelor party at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino next weekend and I recently got a new credit card with a $25k limit (a recipe for disaster, I know!) So my question is if I want to withdraw $15-20k, how can I do it? I don't think the ATM would give me a cash advance like that would it? Would I have to purchase chips for that amount and can I? I know this type of stuff if frowned upon but you only live once and I really want to show him a good time. If there are any recommendations I would be extremely grateful! Thanks guys and good luck!

 

Cheers,

Joseph

Hi Joseph and welcome to the forum!

 

...My best friend is having his Bachelor party at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino next weekend and I recently got a new credit card with a $25k limit (a recipe for disaster, I know!)...

 

 

Jesus, dude, this is not a recipe for for a disaster, this IS going to be a disaster, especially if neither of you or your friend have ever gambled before! Gambling, no matter regular or online, is a serious matter and you risk too much if ever allow yourself to underestimate it! If I was in your shoes would probably pay everything in advance and leave only a couple of thousands in the credit card.

Thanks ValDes for response. I appreciate the concern and I see what your saying. So maybe $15-20k is a bit much but how about if I wanted to just take out like $6K? Could I go to the ATM inside the casino and do it with the credit card or do I have to go to the "cage"? And I should probably call the credit company first and let them know this right? Thanks again for your help!

I suggest you to leave 1-2K at the most, since such an amount would be more than enough to take some fun!

As for the credit card usage within the casino cashier, better browse the hotel website or even call them in advance to get all the necessary details.
