Gold.

Why gold moves fast here

Gold is our simplest asset class anywhere in the network, and Vegas's flight schedule makes it faster still — bars and common bullion coins (Eagles, Krugerrands, Maple Leafs) test for purity in minutes, price directly against spot minus our fee, and don't carry the same-day authentication questions a watch or art piece might. Combine that with LAS–LAX running close to every 30 minutes, and a same-day round trip with cash in hand by evening is a realistic plan, not a best-case scenario.

Casino chips, gaming tokens, and novelty items are not gold collateral in the sense we mean here — we're talking bullion, coins, and scrap with verifiable karat weight. If you're not sure what qualifies, send photos and we'll tell you quickly rather than having you make the trip for nothing.
