Bitcoin Forum

The Golden gate and The D have accepted bitcoins As of this year, just as was at the D last week, the hotel and their restaurants accept BTC. The BAR and the games do not take BTC but they do have a RoboCoin ATM on site so it is not a huge issue.

Strippers, hookers, bars and now hotels wow Vegas is becoming quite a place for a bitcoin enthusiast.

They should allow bets using bitcoins too, THAT would be awesome.

So I would feel like im a live action version of the gambling forum

I've never heard of these places -- are they dumps? Pretty awesome, though, I'll have to book a trip out there one of these days. I'd like to hear that the Bellagio is accepting. :)

I am glad to see bitcoin accepted everywhere.

Cool, I must try It one day :)

I actually think you get better odds with some of the gambling sites in this community. Vegas is becoming a good place for a bit coin meet up though.

The good news, however it is not the first time I saw BTC accepted in the hotel and restaurant.
 I am waiting for when someone says in her area BTC has received for hospital or educational.
and it was very helpful

This is a great step forward and something we are seeing more and more of now. It's a shame they are not allowing gambling using bitcoins however I kind of see why they are not, taking it slow and steady is always wise especially when starting to accept a currency like bitcoin. Hopefully some time in the near future we will see the use of bitcoins in gambling in places like Las Vegas.

Great news for bitcoins, this means that the adoption is still increasing and the word spreading fast.

That's great! I think a lot of people may not want that their spouse finds their Credit Card bills stating an extensive visit to various hotels or bars in Vegas ;) Man, if I think back to the 80s, what haven't I done in Vegas... good times!

Las Vegas? it is a very well-known gambling. even ordinary people who do not know where it's like gambling. if there bitcoin acceptable, then I strongly believe bitcoin will find glory.

I think a lot of people simply go to Vegas, just to see the city, the Shows and experience it as a whole. I think gambling with BTC could be difficult to implement as an experiment. Maybe at a later time. Also it could be due to regulatory constraints! Who knows!

They already did: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-25824968

I thought there was one in the US too? I may be mistaken but I'll look for a link.

Google is Thy Gog!

Ha, wow, yeah I guess Bitcoin and Vegas do fit pretty well! I mean a payment system that can be used anonymously? A city full of 'sin', money, and adventures? It'll be interesting to see whether they'll adopt Bitcoin for gambling, as well. But I doubt that as of now...

I was at the D on Saturday night.  Went to the Robocoin machine.  The cool thing was, someone was using it when I arrived and we had to wait.  Very cool that it wasn't just some stupid box sitting there being ignored. 

The D is a dump actually.  Nobody in their right mind would stay downtown.  However, the D had excellent advertisements about bitcoin above the bar on the walking street.  That part was really cool. 

The Travel Lodge across from City Center also has a machine.  Across street from Aria.  Vegas is right for bitcoin.  Nevada doesn't get so hung up as California about regulating shit that doesn't yet need to be regulated.  When it becomes a real problem, I think Nevada will regulate it.  For now, it looks like Vegas welcomes bitcoin in many ways.  Soon at the blackjack tables I expect. 

Would be cool if someone developed a BTC card that could just be stuck in a Vegas slot machine, and used as cash...

I want the Cosmopolitan to start accepting BTC,  that is my favorite hotel there right now...

Excellent news, Nice to see Bitcoin accessible in a place where so many will have access to it and in a place where people are very likely to spend and splurge.  I've got some family out in Vegas I've been meaning to visit so this is another reason to go out there and visit.

If you are a member of one of the Casinos rewards programs then you can likely stay in Vegas for free. I gamble very little when I go there, but receive offers to stay in their hotels for free almost every day.

You should suggest this to Stunna or doog. Trip to Vegas for like 3 days of having a casino.

 :) Bit coins in las vegas oh dear i wonder how many people are going to be emptying there bc wallets heh.

WOW very interesting info.
I guess some people will be very interesting in this offer.
I find also interesting that hotel in Vegas first offered Bitcoin, it seems for them any currency is good currency :)

I like strippers. haha. Cant wait to go to Vegas this winter! I'll have to load my phone wallet up with BTC before i go! haha

Its a great new. I have also found that a lot of sites are start accepting Bitcoin. I think is near future most of the online shop will accept Bitcoin.

did bitcoin is used in casinò already? i mean real physical casinò

The world's biggest Bitcoin convention happens in Vegas this fall - October 5 -7.  Everything you ever wanted to know about the latest in Bitcoin will be happening there. http://insidebitcoins.com/las-vegas/ (http://insidebitcoins.com/las-vegas/).  Virtually everyone involved in bitcoin will be there.   

If you book a room now, you'll only pay about $50 for a great suite at any major hotel on the strip.  The 'D' is downtown and a $15 taxi ride to the convention which was at the MGM last year.  Better to stay at the south end of the strip and walk.  Try NewYork, NewYork hotel, Monte Carlo, Luxor.  Those are cheap, cheap, cheap and close.  

I am certain you won't want to miss the Vegas Bitcoin convention.  It sold out last year to everyone's surprise.  Next year it is sure to do the same - so better to book early.

Fear and Bitcoin in Las Vegas  ;D

I think there could be a big opportunity for casino operaters to incorporate bitcoin somehow. People could wager their bitcoin at the card table and the dealer could payout their chips back to their wallets. They could also make it "fair" in a similar way that BTC based casinos do to weed out the cheaters.

I would think if a casino starts accepting bitcoin, it will be to buy chips. Seems a lot simpler to implement. Is there a reason you'd like to see it the way you describe? Sorry I don't gamble so maybe I'm missing something here.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if a guy walked into a stripper bar and started tossing flashdrives with BTC on them at the strippers instead of dollars? I guess you could say he'd be "making it hail" instead of rain. lol

Perhaps a paper wallet would be less painful  :-\

That is exactly what I am saying, a person could buy chips at a blackjack table for example and either the dealer or the cashier could convert the chips back to bitcoin. I am not saying that casinos need to be "fair" in the same way sites like PD3 are fair, but having bets work this way would prevent cheaters from cheating the system.

Sorry, I thought you meant that people would bet directly with their bitcoins. I didn't even know you could buy chips at the table; I thought you bought them from a nice lady in reception  :D  I've never actually been in a casino (you may have guessed this by now).

I'm not sure how people cheat the system either, but would be interested if you can be bothered to explain.

It's cute that people still think that btc is anonymous. 

I'll pass. :-\ Let me know when the Palazzo or Bellagio is accepting. Then I will rain bitcoins all over them! Never even heard of these places. I go to Vegas in style only. 8)

People cheat the system by inserting machines into slot machines that make the outcome less then random, they count cards and swap cards while playing blackjack and other card games. If all the games were random in the same way that PD or dicebitco is then every hand and every game would be 100% random.

Good news, in the end of this year I may go there and maybe I will be able to try it out.
