yes Terri I was quite surprised by that when I was in Vegas a few years ago...went to the Catholic Church next door to the Riveria. First surprise was how packed it was; I was used to going to near-empty service here in Scottsdale. Second surprise was the chips I saw in the collection basket. But the funniest thing I saw was the stained-glass window just to the right of the alter. It actually had the Vegas skyline in it!
This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but there are more Catholic churches there than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino ! chips rather than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips from so many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan Monastery for sorting and then the chips are ! taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in.
This is done by the chip monks. Didn't see it comin' did ya?!?! -- M
