As Apple Pay continues to roll out across the US, it appears to be making its mark in the city of Las Vegas as well. The Cosmopolitan resort has recently announced that Apple Pay will be accepted at the hotel’s front desk, restaurants and bars by early June. Room service can also be streamlined using Apple Pay as the concierge service will reportedly be accepting Apple Pay as a method of payment as well. This will allow iDevice users to utilize their iPhone or Apple Watch to make their payments.
As of right now, it hasn’t been made clear whether Apple Pay will be usable for gambling. Most casinos tend to limit purchasing chips with cash only transactions. In the case that credit cards are accepted, the payments are marked as cash advances so there’s no ways to turn quick money. That being said, it remains unknown if the casinos will support this type of transaction with Apple Pay. A marketing officer from The Cosmopolitan, said the following in a statement:
As always, we are thrilled to lead the market with a new component to a Las Vegas experience that makes everything a bit faster and a great deal easier.
