Businesses in Las Vegas are Accepting Bitcoin for Payment
Source: CoinEdition Original Title: Businesses in Las Vegas are Accepting Bitcoin for Payment Original Link: Local businesses in Las Vegas are now accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, turning to crypto as a way to reduce high operating costs linked to credit card fees.
Las Vegas Merchants Accept Bitcoin to Cut Credit Card Fees
According to recent reports, local Las Vegas businesses, led by Bouncy Word Mega Playground & Café, have now adopted Bitcoin payments to improve efficiency. The owner stated that 20-30 customers have used Bitcoin payment options.
Merchants use popular QR code scanning apps, such as Cash App and Square. These platforms provide users with peer-to-peer and simple BTC payments to thousands of merchants legally. Square specializes in broader merchant payment ecosystems as part of larger business operations.
Merchants can dodge the 2-3% credit card fees levied by banks and other traditional financial institutions that leverage Visa and Mastercard. More global merchants have opted for Bitcoin to avoid these fees.
“We are accepting BTC now. Compared to credit card fees, Bitcoin is a lot less,” the business owner stated.
A Growing Global Trend
Merchants in Las Vegas have now joined a growing number of global businesses accepting Bitcoin and other digital assets for payments. Bitcoin payments only levy network fees, which many operators have reduced by adopting the Lightning Network.
Globally, the number of businesses accepting Bitcoin has surged in the past few years. More than 25 million global merchants accepted crypto assets as a form of payment in 2025, up from 18 million in 2023.
Bitcoin and stablecoins remain the dominant form of crypto payments globally. North America and the Asia-Pacific have led in merchants accepting Bitcoin and digital assets as a form of payment.
Why Now?
The global adoption of Bitcoin payments has surged in the recent past due to regulatory clarity in the United States and Europe. Recent regulatory initiatives, including the GENIUS Act and the upcoming CLARITY Act, are expected to catalyze the mainstream adoption of digital assets as a form of payment. More financial institutions have launched their stablecoins in line with emerging regulatory frameworks.
