    Mostly $100s, but I carry some $20s for purchases and I always pick up a bundle of $1s so I don't have to scramble for tip money.

    Good Luck!

    100s with a few 50s.
    When cashing in chips I will at times exchange lower denominations for larger.

    $100s but some banks in Ireland only give $50 dollar bills when buying dollars which is annoying (and some people consider unlucky)......

    $100s. I can always break a bill in the TITO cash machines for incidentals and tips.

    100's for gaming.
    1's for tipping.
    And usually a hundred broken down with 20's, 10's, a few 5's for CVS type purchases.

    I have to go to the bank on the way to the airport later today, but I generally breakdown a 50 in $1's and $5's for tips, and play the first $50 in slots betting the max before I check in (testing my luck haha)
    When betting sportsbook or tables, $100s, when doing slots $20s. Not sure why I have done it that way, but I have.

    All non gambling purchases are charged to the room or my Amex for reconciliation purposes on the flight home.

    100's for sure. And a few smaller bills for any cash purchases along the way. And a few singles/fives for tips.

    Pretty much my normal walking around, but way more C-notes than normal.

    I thought $50 dollar bills were considered taboo by gamblers and Vegas goers. I swear I read that here some time ago and have adhered to it as one of my Vegas/gambling superstitions (even just for the fun of it).

    I do c-notes and probably $1-200 worth of $20’s, then I keep my “chump change” ie tip and sundries cash separate. That is a mix of sawbucks, fivers and singles.

    It IS all about the Benjamins, just for conveience's sake. I do take like $50 in singles, for tipping. I sometimes take some $2 bills (if I can find em) also for tipping. Some of the CWs/bartenders are so intrigued and happy to have one, they provide extra fast cocktail service, if that is important to you. Sadly, and I'm not proud of this, it is to me.

    $100 broken into $20’s, $5’s, $1’s for tipping, incidentals before arrival.
    All $100’s for the remainder.

    I’m not superstitious about $50’s and play them if I have them - just as easy to lose a fifty as a hundred.

    Exactly this. Drives me nuts when I go to a Tito machine that is out of 100s. I wish it could at least alert you somehow. Last weekend I got $1000 in 20s. Had to go to the cashier to change it in. I guess anything that large I should have just started at the cage.
