The issue isn't carrying the currency, but concealing the currency from customs. When entering the US, Customs requires a declaration of currency in excess of $10K.

Thank you for saving me a post. That is exactly the issue.

This isn't really relevant,but...

When my husband and I make a quick trip to Vegas, we withdraw a large amount of cash to take with us. (We usually send it ahead to the casino if we have time.)

The girls at the bank have always told us, make sure you carry the bank withdrawal slip with you and you will be fine. This is traveling within the US.
