Las Vegas hotels begin taking foreign currency as tourism woes deepen

  I’m seeing both a <title> and <h1> of “Las Vegas tries a new plan to combat slumping tourism”. The only accept Canadian currency. The submitted title isn’t wrong but is misleading.

    Title was presumably a/b'd on the article since submission. I copy pasted it at that time.

      Fair enough. Shame on SF Gate.

  Will Shat is toying with XMoney and could do a Star Trek convention to survey AI ideas from fans and make the post scarcity Culture Mind AI idea closer to being for real for real.

  * The plan, called Vegas At Par, offers to accept foreign currency directly from travelers abroad at a rate that’s equal to the U.S. dollar, regardless of what the exchange rates are.* Wow, that sounds like a bad plan. But not just the idea of selling a dollar for 73 cents. How much in Vegas actually happens in currency these days? I just don't see Canadians saying, "Well, I was going to avoid the authoritarian dictatorship down south, but I've got a toonie in my pocket and those chumps will give me two bucks for it."
