| Chip factories in Vegas? Chip stores? First question:
I have this vague recollection of watching part of a Travel Channel show (like "Hidden Secrets of Vegas" or whatever) within the last 12 months where they toured a casino chip factory in Vegas. They showed how chips are made for casinos, how they are warehoused, and focused the most on security. Huge pallettes of chips bound for casinos in Vegas worth thousands. Don't remember the company.
This forum would seem to be the best shot at getting an answer to this question -- Does anyone know if the general public can visit/tour such a place? I'm thinking that you might also be able to pick up samples on the cheap, like the chocolate gift shop at the end of the chocolate factory tour.
Second question:
Are there any stores in Vegas the specialize in, or at least have a good collection of, vintage Vegas casino chips for sale? I remember seeing some older chips in a store inside the Aladdin, and I'm guessing that there must be someplace in Vegas that has more than a handful of vintage chips. |
