I have never been to the National but I do remember seeing this discussed. If I recall an ATM is available but the actual availability of large sums of cash within aren't always there. Imagine the quantities of cash being withdrawn over a few days time. This may have been one previous cities site so it may not be worth comparing to this years, but I could imagine how frustrating it would be to locate "the find" of your life, negotiating a deal, convincing the dealer to hold it while you withdraw cash only to find the machine doesn't have enough available funds.

Cash is also king when trying to negotiate a price at the tables. I would withdraw what your daily budget is before you get on site and have it on your person but like always be careful and aware of your surroundings. I could imagine that pick pockets love a place like the National were there are large sums of cash and people only focused on the tables they look at not at who is walking behind them.

Any differing opinions are welcome from first hand experiences?
