Corrected entry: Why would the guys bother turning the $82,000 in chips into cash? The bag that they stole from Mr. Chou only contained casino chips. Besides, they had just cheated Ceaser's Palace, and the pit bosses/security were onto them. Jade falling from the chair distracted them enough where Alan could get away from the blackjack table, but security would've easily found them when they were cashing the chips. It just seemed like an unnecessary thing to do and it didn't affect the overall plot at all.

Correction: Chips are not legal tender, cash is. Being unnecessary is your opinion, not a mistake.
