As cryptocurrency gains mainstream traction, an increasing number of businesses in the Las Vegas area are accepting Bitcoin payments. This trend includes both large chains like Steak ’n Shake and smaller establishments such as juice bars and medical offices. Merchants report that accepting Bitcoin not only attracts new customers but also reduces payment processing costs. Square has facilitated this shift by allowing approximately 4 million U.S. merchants to accept Bitcoin payments without fees until 2026, helping them avoid the typical 2.5%–3.5% credit card fees.
