To elaborate slightly, I was staying at a suite at Hilton Garden Inn
at Pruneridge right next to 99ranch99 and all those Asian
restaurants and shops. So you know me, that's where I did all my
shopping and eating for two weeks. Nobody in that whole complex
accepted travelers checks and I could only cash checks every so
often at the front desk. Even Lucky's/Albertsons wouldn't take them
(but the Duke of Edinburgh would so I ate a lot of fish and chips,
too).

Never again.
