Two Casinos in Las Vegas now accept Bitcoin
Las Vegas is a city that sustains itself on novelties, so it should come as little surprise that two of its hotel casinos will become the first in the nation to accept the unregulated digital payment system known as Bitcoin.
The D Las Vegas Casino Hotel and Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, both recently upgraded and under the same ownership, will allow virtual currency starting Wednesday morning at five on-property locations, including the two front desks, a gift shop and two restaurants.
The hotels will process Bitcoin purchases through BitPay, a service that handled more than $100 million worth of transactions in 2013 and allows merchants to accept Bitcoins in the same way as they would Visa, MasterCard or Paypal. Each cashier at the hotels will have tablets programmed with BitPay, and each customer will pay for services using their mobile wallets.
