This may come as a surprise to those of you not living in Las Vegas, but there are more Catholic Churches than casinos. Not surprisingly, some worshippers at Sunday services will give casino chips rather than cash when the basket is passed. Since they get chips from many different casinos, the churches have devised a method to collect the offerings. The churches send all of their collected chips to a nearby Franciscan monastery for sorting, and then the chips are taken to the casinos of origin and cashed in. This is done my the Chip Monks. ;)

Lost on a rainy night, a nun stumbled across a monastery and requested shelter there.
Fortunately, she was just in time for dinner and was treated to the best fish and chips she had ever tasted.
After dinner, she strolled into the kitchen to thank the chefs. She was met by two of the Brothers.
They welcomed her with, "Hello, I am brother Michael and this is Brother
Charles."
"I am very pleased to meet you both," replied the nun, "I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful dinner. The fish and chips were the best I've ever had. Out of curiosity, who cooked what?"
Brother Charles replied, "Well, thank you sister. I am the fish friar."
She turned to Brother Michael and said, "then you must be....?"
"Yes, sister," interrupted Brother Michael you are correct. I am the chip monk."

There are more Catholic churches that that. Not to mention all of the Mormon temples, the baptist churches, the Jehovah's witnesses halls... It can be somewhat surprising to think of all the different churches in the Las Vegas area, until you realize that Las Vegas might feel it needs more.
