I don't remember anyone mentioning this before, so I'll do it now. Sorry if this is a repeat.

Just got back from a pre-"New Years Eve madness" walk along the Strip. I noticed a sign at the Bellagio that said that they now are using the silver MGM/Mirage card. The sign also mentioned that Bellagio will no longer be using a separate card for table games.

I also had a short talk with the booth attendents at the Stardust. The white card they are now using is temporary, while they convert from punch-board readers to magnetic strip readers. I was also told, "New cards, with a colorful logo, will be issued starting sometime in January". When I asked if I could get a new one tomorrow, since it would then be January, she told me not to push my luck. I'll be sure to check back there everyday and let you all know when the new ones are out.
