Las Vegas money exchange option?

this has probably been answered many times but I cant find any posts

anyway Im off to vegas soon, and wondered what was the best way to get more from my pound
it will be a large sum of travel money

I dont really liek to take alot of money abroad in cash as fear of it beign stolen etc.

but I cant see an alternative, my bank charges if i take money out abroad, and so does nay credit card!

taking pounds and converting over there produces the same currency exchange rate?

any other options?

    You could load a travel card such as Travelex or Caxton in USD, but check their charges first if you are trying to avoid any charges. Alternatively take USD travellers cheques as they are very easy to use or cash in Vegas.
