Ok, I've been to Atlantic City a few times and my big thing is to gamble at each casino and then collect the buckets that they have there with thier names on . I'm going not Las Vegas in June and I was wondering if I could keep this tradition up there?

Sorry to say that your tradition may be over. Enjoy the buckets your currently have. You might want to switch over to shot glasses or something like that because casino buckets are now a thing of the past. Since almost all of the casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City are now bills in-tickets out. I went to Vegas in May and went to every casino on the strip and a few off the strip, I don't recall seeing any buckets. Sorry.

Sure, You can pick up buckets at some places. The problem is that more and more casinos are going to coinless slots and video poker machines where you feed a bill through a slot and when you "cash out" the machine gives you a voucher that you redeem at the cashier's cage for real money. So, the need for coin buckets is dropping off. Not quite as fast as the cell phone causing the death of the pay phone, but it's getting there.

Coin buckets are an almost dead tradition. Most slots are EZ-Pay, meaning you put in dollars and receive a payment ticket for any winnings and redeem it at a 'change center' machine for money. Some of the older casinos may still have coin slots and therefore also have the coin buckets, but they're few and far between. Check out the websites below for more. Good Luck.

None of the slots I saw in Vegas used coins anymore, so I didn't see any buckets. We were in about 10 places.
All the machines took dollars, and you get a receipt that you can cash out.

Most casinos have gone to a ticket system. The last time I was in Vegas I still saw a few coin paying machines. You may need to look in the dollar machine areas to find them.
Most are using a ticket payout system.
Have fun

Like the others said I think there are only two or three that still have coin machines and they are hidden! You might be able to find a bucket here or there..... I would change to collecting Players Cards!

Las Vegas also has small plastic pails that people carry their coins in at the slot machines.

you would be hard pressed to find coin buckets......most of all the machines pay out now with vouchers........actual coin machines are far and few......good luck though
