I thought this is the way it will work?

Make an offer over localbitcoin, meet F2F, transfer bitcoins to his wallet, after he presented the money.
After transaction is processed, grab the money and spend it directly for gambling

Thanks to all! I will try to find an old trader with a lot of reputation on localbitcoins.com. If I have no luck, I will just let the coins sit on my wallet to wait for a better opportunity.

Sounds to easy for me
I hoped it will work like this. I think I will try it in Vegas and pick someone over localbitcoins who has several transactions.

I actually do not want a bank transfer, because I'm not a resident of the USA.
Seems to be more complicated, than I thought than sell BTC for some cash :-)

The ATM option is quite expensive. I just checked the rate for BTC selling and it is aroun 8%, means 160 Dollar just for some cash

With ATM I mean a Bitcoin ATM. A couple are located around Las Vegas for trading, but they usually call for up to 10% transaction fee. I do not know, if this already includes the system fees, but when I want to get 2000 Dollar, I have to pay 200 just for the transactions (sounds more like scam to me)

I woun't be alone, my wife will be with me, but it could take some time until the BTC transfer is validated and I have to wait until I get my Cash.

I looked at "localbitcoins.com" for people with some transactions and wanted to sell to them, but to be honest, I have no clue how to proceed.
I would open my "bitcoin.de" online-wallet and would start a transfer, when he presented the money.
Hopefully the buyer will be more experienced than me :-D

Hello,
I want to sell BTC in Las Vegas. I want to get around 2000 Dollar, depents on the x-change how much BTC I have to spent.

I have to opportunities:
- Sell BTC to a stranger found with localbitcoins.com
- Sell BTC on an ATM.

The x-change rate at an ATM is quite poor, but for me it sounds "safe" to sell it to a maschine.

In general I do not have any idea how it will work. I have a german wallet on bitcoin.de and I'm not interessted in transfering it somewhere else then to the buyers wallet due to the high transaction fees.
What would you think how long I have to wait, until the payment is processed? I'm not interesssted in waiting a long time to get the deal done.

Any tips for the deal beside public area, free wifi and counterfeit money?

Thanks a lot!
