he stole around $1.5M in chips
he can only cash them in at the bellagio so would either have to sell them to people or gradually cash in small amounts

First thing I thought about was Andy Garcia's pissed off face when I read the title.

You'll maybe find they'll sell $100 worth of chips for $50 or something similair to get rid.

The chips will be worthless unless used before the casino closed last night.

During the night the casino will swap all chips to new ones, they are all independently marked, with a unique design, at any one time most casinos hold 2 backup collections of chips for this reason alone.

Do Casino's close at night? Thought they were temperature controlled, no windowed 24hr jobbies.

Yeah but i guess they didnt have 1.5mils worth stolen the week you were there

They only change them when theres a robbery or something, i dont think your theft of a few warranted a major operation
