Can't you bring the cheques to a US bank while you are there and cash them? Instead of bringing them back to your bank in the UK?

Fortunately, there is always an ATM in the exhibit hall (and elsewhere) so if people don't have to write a check. Credit card is a bit different, but you said you could manage that. The real test is... can you take debit (my experience for big purchases with cash being for minor things, or, up to about $200,) which is rather popular in the US? They're like a credit card, but not exactly the same; most bear the logo of a major label, though, like Visa or MasterCard. You'll also want to be able to give change back, so if having (getting) dollars is a concern, you'll probably want to hit up a bank after coming over to do some exchanging, and then, likely, on the way back.

I wish I'd talked to those guys from Canada when they came in and did business... likely had similar concerns.

I might be able to set up something onsite for you to exchange checks (cheques) in US$ for cash, right away, for a slight fee.
