I was just in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. I had to make a stop at Spinettis and pick up a couple singles. Here's a scan of my favorite chips from that trip. Of course, the Caesar's Tahoe Baccarat is oversized. The pink spots from the Eddie's Fabulous 50's chip, are much brighter. The scan washes them out a lot. And I've never seen an edgespot pattern like the one on the Nevada Club chip. It's quickly risen to one of my favorite chips in my singles collection.

I've seen that one before. It has so many things going for it:

TR King scrown
Nevada casino
multi-coloured 1/8 pie
shaped inlay (rounded scalloped?)
$20 denom
standard casino colour (25% yellow)
Cali coloured (25% black)

Can you imagine a mixed casino TRK cash set with a couple stacks of these for your high denoms? I'd be like "Ya, I'll buy in for $100. Just give me 5 x $20s" and then I'd just sit there and fold all day while fondling the chips. Would probably cry the first time I have to post blinds - down to 4 of 'em.

That $20 is a stunner!! Great pickup congrats! I may have found my next set to go after?

Just got back from Vegas, again! I stopped by the Cosmo and picked up a chip. I really liked the Cosmo, the property is really nice. The Hooters and Bill's chips I picked up at the craps tables. I noticed they were pretty much brand new, and pocketed them. We swung by downtown the last day. The first year my poker league went to Vegas we stayed @ the Fitz. I wasn't as big into chips at that time, so I didn't harvest any then. I picked up a few Fitz chips, to make up for not picking up any on my first stay. The Little Caesar's are my favorites from this haul. They are all 43mm, and the scan doesn't do them justice. The 1K is bright yellow, and the 10K is blaze orange. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys the scans.

Nice job....Bill's & Fitz were a couple of my favorite casino stops when I was in Vegas in January. Those Little Caesars are sweet.....where did you pick those up at? Spinettis?
