It is usually cheaper to pull money from a bank ATM when you arrive. If you have a fee then make sure and pull the max daily allowance. Buying money in the US is almost always more expensive.

If you don't want to buy money in advance or use the ATM then take US dollars and exchange cash for cash. This would be cheaper than buying in advance in the US.

There are bank ATM's and currency exchanges in all the airports if you want money when you arrive.
