Rate: 2.80
Comments: Posted on a sign in the store. I guess you have to buy something there.

 

Haha yeah, that's what I figured since their margins seem to be pretty thin. I guess my time is better spent negotiating with taxistas and chicas then.

 

Date: 30 November
Location: Poker room in Casino Atlantic City located on nivel dos in the shiny, fancy part of the casino.
Rate: 2.80
Comments: I bought chips for 200USD, saw several other people buying 400-500USD worth of chips without any problems at all. I got soles back when I exchanged my chips, so you can use the casino as a casa de cambio if they have better rates than other places.

 

DATE: 18 January
LOCATION: Atlantic City Casino, Miraflores
RATE: 2.80
COMMENTS: I managed to buy chips with soles and get dollars in return when I cashed out, but that might have been an exception since all I've ever seen them do is accept USD and give soles in return.

RATE: 2.81
COMMENTS: Same conditions as always with Vivanda.

DATE: 26 January
LOCATION: Street dude on Cmdt. Espinar in Miraflores
RATE: 2.80
COMMENTS: I asked out of curiousity, he said 2.79, I said "no gracias" and he then said 2.80 but wouldn't go any higher.
It also seems like the rate is a bit better if you're not right next to Parque Kennedy, but I guess that it should have been obvious to me that that's the case. The difference is still 0nly 0.01 soles, so I guess it isn't worth all that much except avoiding a bunch of loose change.

LOCATION: Atlantic City Casino, Miraflores
RATE: 2.78

DATE: 9 March
LOCATION: Fiesta Casino, Miraflores
RATE: 2.78

COMMENTS: In the fiesta, sometimes when I would go to the Caja to change dollars, they would set a limit at either $20 or $40. But when I asked the workers giving out the sorteo tickets to change the money for me, they would always changes $100 without a problem.

 

That's a good rate, the going rate was 2.755 so you win!
