Stupid Vegas-trip-related question →[More:]I collected my currency today and I noticed that the $10s are now a nice peachy colour. I still have a few old green tens. Are they still ok?

NB: I will discount any answer which says "No, give them to me for disposal."

Your bills are fine! A lot of our currency has been re-designed lately.

Uh, the green ones are fine, it is the peachy bills that are counterfit, give them to me...

Seriously, there's a new ten dollar bill?

In answer, yes I think both are valid currency.

currency? This is Vegas, where everything is bought with poker chips.

Thanks guys. I'm not a gambler, jon, so I will probably have $20 or so silly money changed into quarters to put into the slots, but that's about it.

I got a fantastic rate - $1.91 to the £. On my first trip to Vegas five years ago I was lucky to get $1.40 to the £.

Me either, but it's Vegas, so I gotta play cards a little.

*brushes up on when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em*

Mr. Stynxno is quite a good card player; he's gonna teach me.

Yes, all your money is good here in Vegas ;)

Can George's sister join us for dinner, Krix? Otherwise she'll be on her own. (You don't have to pay for her too. I owe her more dinners than I can count.)

I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag. Somebody bet on the bay.

Of course! We'll figure out a head count and I'll call to see if we need reservations (we shouldn't but you never know).

Everyone is welcome in Vegas! Your carefree spending is why I live (save for Federal) tax free.

And krix, darling, you're not taking them to the place with the sticky-floors-of-unknown-origin, are you?

What, the fairway level of Circus-Circus? ;-P
