I am going to get in on the Bellagio group buy but I want to double check and have some other eyes double check before I place my order.
I want to make sure I get every chip just for my own personal pleasure and who knows whe they might come into play. I want to start doing T10000 based on the WSOP and we usually have 10-15 guys but I want to be prepared for up to 25.

20 x NV
20 x 5
225 x 25
275 x 100
200 x 500
150 x 1000
50 x 5000
20 x 10000
20 x 25000
20 x 100000
--------------
1000 chips

Any changes or suggestions are more than welcome.

25 players x T10,000 = 250,000 in chips

You really don't need any 5,000 chips for that size tournament. I would suggest getting some more 1,000 chips.

I figure I don't really "NEED" any of the denoms over 5000 but I wanna have em.

Oh definitely, I was just saying that for playing the tournaments themselves, you could do with 1,000 chips being the biggest on the table.

I would also think you want more 1000s. I am going to be doing a T10000 with these chips also and will be giving stacks of 8/8/6/6 for my 20 person tourneys. You only have enough 1000s to give out 4 each and no more for color ups. For 20 players T10000 w 1 rebuy I went with:
20 NCV
160 25s
180 100s
140 500s
140 1000s
40 5000s
20 10000s

700 total

I have updated my counts in the first post to add more 1000's.

Any other suggestions before I place my order?

I tossed your breakdown into the breakdown calculator:

If you issued starting stacks of:
8 x 25
8 x 100
4 x 500
2 x 1000
1 x 5000
------------------------
23 chips/player, T10,000

Then you're good to go for a 25 person tourney.
Note, though, that if you want to support rebuys, you'll quickly be digging to the 10,000 chips for rebuys (which makes getting change a bit more a problem)

Also, with these starting stacks, you'd only need:
200 x 25
250 x 100
150 x 500
125 x 1000
25 x 5000

which includes enough chips to colorup the 25's, 100's, and 500's

If you want to support rebuys more easily, you could go with a few more 1000's and 5000's.

Updated once more to accomodate more 1000's and 5000's and less 25's. I just want to make sure I get this right but I am pretty sure this will be the order I will be submitting.
