Default Re: new to me... wife not being able to cash out

Several years ago, when I cashed out $500 chips at two smaller casinos (Barbary Coast and Casino Royale), the cashier asked where I won them, and proceeded to actually call the pit to confirm that I won them. Obviously, the threshold is higher at the Bellagio, but casinos want to make sure that the chips come from casino play and not some sort of money laundering scheme.
