YEREVAN, January 22. /ARKA/. Beginning Wednesday January 22, the first Las Vegas casinos will start accepting Bitcoin digital currency in lieu of cash. The pioneers are The D Las Vegas Casino Hotel and the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, both recently upgraded, under the same ownership and located in suddenly flourishing Old Downtown Vegas.

Derek Stevens, co-owner and CEO of both hotels often socializes with customers at the D’s LONGBAR, and said in a press release that several patrons approached him about accepting the virtual currency and guest demand spurred him to add the option. “I’m proud that the D and Golden Gate will be the first casino properties to accept Bitcoin. We’re located in the growing high-tech sector of downtown Las Vegas, and like all things downtown, we’re quickly adaptive to new technology. The timing is right for us to launch this initiative, and I’m happy to be able to offer this to our customers.” –0--
