Anyone done it before, I see the dollar has weakened a bit, I’m tempted to buy some now in anticipation of going on a stag to vegas next year,

Anyone with a crystal ball?

Last time I bought £1000, a week in vegas and as the rate went my way I got back £400 after a week of drinking and partying

Always go to the toilet when it's your round?

How much difference do you think you're going to get if only changing up a grand? You'll waste more time than it's worth
