I'm heading to Las Vegas for a few days again, and I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations on where I can spend a few sats? I checked out BTC map before my last trip, and the few places listed were kind of out of the way and/or didn't turn out to encourage paying in bitcoin. I have a little extra time this trip.

I know the Bitcoin Magazine conference will be held there in a few months, so maybe things have changed for the better recently?

It’s pretty sparse out here, man.

Haven’t been able to get real connected with any businesses or merchants who prioritize it.

Really? That's sad. I wonder if Bitcoin 2025 will make a difference?

Vegas has no culture so it’s a pretty vapid environment for bitcoin to take root.

Vegas would be a great place to start a circular economy in the US.

Maybe the casinos would be willing to experiment with the Lightning Network?

Good luck if you gamble. I heard the shows are pretty good.

No gambling or shows. We're just there for the Sphere. We're old deadheads - fans of the Grateful Dead.

Btw...what about Bitcoin Magazine (app)? It does not work for me for around 3 months ago...I have some sats there, but I can't acces the app :(

I don't know. I gave up on bitcoin magazine and the app a long while ago.

I hope you'll find some places. When i was in Austin, the bitcoin dev capital of the US (sic) I was surprised/disappointed about how little options I had to spend sats in regular establishments~~

I have watched it so often and it still makes me laugh. I'm more likely to call my wife to say I forgot my CPAP machine.
