Apparition just try looking at the exchange rates, see if you may be better off bringing your pound notes and exchanging them here for the dollar.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

I was thinking about this, it could well be the cheapest way - do I really want to be carrying a few grand in my hand luggage though?

I would be more concerned about leaving all my cash in a hotel room unless it has a very decent safe.

Maybe a Wise travel card loaded with US$. Having said that, if you lose your card or it gets trapped in an ATM machine, you are still up a gum tree.

Maybe a balance of the two?

I'm staying in an Airbnb for my first month (not to say that's any more secure though). I could bring some in cash/travel card and figure the rest out later.
