    Anyone know the whereabouts of a fee free ATM. I always use the ones in the Casinos and pay the charge, just hoping to save a few more dollars.

    I don't think anywhere in the US has free ATM's like here in the UK. I've been to a few places and asked but they say its the norm to charge.

    Thanks. I thought that main bank branches were free, but I cant remember noticing any banks when I have been there.

    There are definately some bank branches on Flamingo east of the strip towards Maryland Boulevard...we've never taken cash out from them so I cannot say for sure if they are free...and when I lived in the US, they were only free if you had an account at that bank (another branch was fine, but had to be an account with that bank) but that could have changed. Casino Royale used to have an ATM with a $1 charge - not sure if that is still the case. I'm pretty sure I've also read that the Walgreens on the strip has an ATM with a relatively low fee ($1.75 springs to mind but that could be incorrect).
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    we found a chain of banks in New England " Bank North " that did not charge , however i doubt Vegas has one. we found Walmart pretty cheap so i would imagine Walgreens would be good bet.

    even with the small fee Nationwide debit card cash withdrawals still beat all comers. we always withdraw the maximum to save thoose few extra pennys.

    keep the photos coming debaser :T :T :T . they are very good quality and brighten up the board. i don't have many left to post

    I have tried every bank branch in Vegas(or so it seems) and none have been fee free. BTW I think the badge might be because you have been thanked more than 500 times. Well done:beer:
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Read on OpenVegas today that Rio's Masquerade in the Sky is ending on 8th April.

    I think this means that we're going to finally go ahead and get tickets to ride in the floats next week as we've always thought about it, and this will be our last chance. I know they sit you down and buckle you into a seat and that you don't get a chance to throw beads or anything, but we have a 2-for-1 coupon (at least I think we do!) and it's something like $13 per ticket...if nothing else it will keep us off of the slots for an hour or so. :)
