Surprising fact about Las Vegas

[CAJUNLAWYER]

There are more Catholic churches in Las Vegas than Casinos!
Not surprisingly, a not insignificant portion of each Sunday's collection comes in the form of casino chips from the various gambling establishments around town. In order to facilitate their collection and redemption for cash the various churches have enlisted the services of a Franciscan Monastery which each Sunday sends members of the order around collecting the chips from the various churches. During the week they sort the chips, cash them in at the various casinos and then redistribute the appropriate money to the various churches. Saves a lot of work for the individual parishes, the Franciscans take a little skim and everyone is happy.

The Franciscans doing this work are known as chip monks.

That's a new bit off that old joke I first heard 40 or 50 years ago in England about the two Franciscans who opened a fish-n-chips shop. Became known as the fish friar and the chip monk.
