Tour guides tell the story that there is a church on the Strip that often receives casino chips in its collection plate. Eventually, someone has to go to all the casinos to convert those chips to cash. That person is Arthur Nelson, otherwise known as the "Chip Monk."

However, Snopes.com, an urban-myth-debunking Web site, claims the Chip Monk doesn't exist. But don't tell that to Nelson, who has lived in Las Vegas for 49 years. For 40 of those, he worked as a church organist.
