A fellow chipper is coming from a land far, far away to visit Vegas in a few weeks, and, I'm needing to transfer money to them whole they're here... what's the best way to handle this? I'm picking up some chips from this person which they're going to transport here and ship while in Vegas to save international shipping costs. I'll need to transfer money to them, but, not sure how to do this, any suggestions?

Cash through an intermediary. Vegas has some strict anti money laundering rules. Even high denom chips aren’t as easy as before.
Nothing more nefarious than trying to avoid excessive fees for converting from one currency to another, and, then back again to be gambled in Vegas, as well as avoiding the same excessive fees for international shipping. Do hotels/casinos accept transfers? I know you can do Western Union. Is there any fellow chipper in the Vegas area willing to assist?

Wouldn't this be a good case for Bitcoin?
Edit to say: I haven't done this myself so I don't know what the fees are on either end but thought this might be worth looking into.

If the person is going to gamble in Vegas , I don't see any issue with paying in USD to them directly or through a middle party?
So, if they live in another country and their banking system uses another currency could PP still transfer them US dollars, and, could they access dollars from their account to carry with them to the US? Where are the resident money launderers here on the forum?

I have sent a wire to the cage ahead of my visit, then took markers against the wire, then wired the remaining (lower) amount back to my bank. You just need a players card and the wiring instructions and then fill out marker paperwork at the cage when you arrive.

Wise is a decent option too for online transactions. They can open a USD account and recieve as well as spend that USD without any conversion fees.
About 3 weeks from now, but, they're working on it from their end as well.
how did you know I was involved ?
Short story, I sold some chips and going to Vegas....would be stupid to receive PP in $$'s, transfer to EUR and then back.
Soooo....if @KHarp1 can PP the money to someone in Vegas, that can cash me out...we would both avoid needless overhead.
I wasn't going to mention your name, but, I sure didn't want to go down for money laundering by myself!

Just open a Revolut account/card.
Then transfer usd$ at market change price without fee to an other Revolut.
You even can request someone to pay you with a credit card directly to the Revolut account.
Revolut is the perfect solution for all change fees if you are in a country covered by them.
