This might be more than one question. What is casino credit? If a person wanted to take a large sum of money ($10,000) to Vegas to only play blackjack with, but not exclusively at one casino, what would be the best and safest way to get it out there? Carry it yourself, cashier’s check or money order, traveler's checks? At home, we use a local credit union, so we can't go into a bank out there and withdraw, nor can we get more than $500 per day from the ATM.

It seems like there's always a discussion somewhere that goes something like "Why can't a hotel with 2,000 rooms guarantee a simple request?" So, recently I Googled around a bit and learned that on average Las Vegas hotels ran at about 87.1% capacity in 2013. To me that means a 2,000 room hotel would have something like 258 rooms "available" on any given day.
That sounds like a decent number, but how many are typically reserved by casino marketing, are unavailable due to damage, are undesirable for some reason, etc.? The more I thought about it the more it seemed that even with 2,000 rooms 87% occupancy has got to be pretty close to the practical maximum.
Am I right or way off?
