Resorts World Las Vegas, a resort that will open on June 24 in Nevada, in the southwestern United States, announced a partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini.

The plan is for guests and visitors to use the exchange and custody services for bitcoins, ethers and other cryptocurrencies offered by the exchange house founded by the Winklevoss twins in 2014.

The announcement was made through a press release stating that the details of the agreement will be expanded next week.

However, the facility's president, Scott Sibella, said the move was part of an effort to integrate "innovative technological amenities" throughout the resort.

Therefore, it is understood that clients will be able to use cryptocurrencies in the gigantic casino that the Resort will have.

In fact, Tyler Winklevoss, CEO of Gemini, suggested that integration with the arcade is final.

The complex, which has the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand, will open its doors with 3,500 rooms, a theater with capacity for 5,000 people and, in addition, will have a shopping center with a variety of stores.

It is possible that cryptocurrencies are imposed as a payment method in all spaces.

Resort World Las Vegas would not be the first company that integrates cryptocurrency services.

During four years The Legends Strip Club has been using crypto assets for its operations such as consumption and private dances.

Also, the VIP membership of the club can be obtained with the local cryptoasset, The Legends Room (LGD), developed in Ethereum.

In any case, it will always be convenient to keep in mind that the IRS has its sights set on cryptocurrencies.

So much so that some officials believe that the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies in the United States has caused them to not collect around $1 billion in taxes a year.

This is because they have "difficulties in tracking transactions."
