I went to HK a few years ago with my wife, cousin and a few friends. One of my friends has been so sheltered his whole life, that he doesn't have a credit card, and his mom insisted he bring traveller's cheques. We had to run around HK to find banks to cash them when he ran out of money. He was, and still is, the butt of our jokes. haha
Back to OP question. My wife and I try to use cash whenever we go to the States. Usually we bring $1000, and anything we spend over and above we put on card, or if we make big purchases (like Disney passes or something)
