That's fucked mon. Here at our big casinos, you have to go to the cashier to buy your chips and tokens etc etc.... so you just change it at the cashier... because you're going there anyway. But in the bars that have gaming, they will give you an acceptable exchange rate right at the gaming window, at least the bars I tend to gamble at all do.
The attitude is all about tourism. Why make US patrons jump through hoops to get their bills changed?
And your comment about "mexico = pesos" isn't exactly accurate either. In the several trips I've taken there they happily accepted US currency everywhere. At the front desk of my hotel they always exchanged my US traveller's cheques with not a word about it other than "gracias meester smeeth"
