    ...betting with credit cards in Las Vegas or is it done only with cash?
    A friend of mine is leaving and I never gambled outside with cash so I can't help him out.
    Thanks in advance, please explain how it works there so I can help out a friend also.

    Vegas-based Global Cash Access Holdings, Inc. is principal supplier of on-floor Cash Advance/ATM machines for Casinos. Regardless of Card's parent company, on site, one can withdraw against their available Cash Balance, but will have a fee added to transaction.

    GCA owns Arriva.

    Arriva has something new - a Credit Card with Casinos in mind.

    lol, +1! i do know, not just in vegas, but practically every hotel will cash your personal check for free as long as your staying in one of their rooms.

    IMHO, gambling on credit is an even worse idea than buying a Ferrari on credit...

    BTW, the "fee" is a hefty 10% of what you take out. So, you've just decreased your chances of walking away with more money than you started with by a substantial amount. Learn how to play craps and blackjack...those are your best odds.
