I am trying to find out if anyone on CT knows, without a doubt, which $1 and $5 chips the Ritz Carlton San Juan currently has in play in their casino.

Specifically, do the still have the $1 (on the top left in the pic) and the $5 (second row center in the pic) in play in the casino?

And, are there any CT'ers headed that way on vacation?

Just got off the phone with them, they use the $1.00 and $5.00 you posted in the picture. (The $5.00 in the middle of your picture).

Road Trip anyone

First how much does it cost to fly down there second I heard the Ritz Carlton is very small card room. I would think it would be hard to walk out with a few rack. Furthermore, the condition may not be that great.

After all that bah bah....who's coming with me?

one year ago the card room wasn't even open. it wasn't even a card room just a couple of tables behind the craps tables. they said they only have poker during the busy season, which is nov-feb I think. Good luck getting any chips out of them. Mint ones anyway. the chips are mostly in heavy use condition. the snappers and $1's are the worst. the $5's are all rounded but are really cool anyway. The $25's are awesome. Most of them are in excellent condition. If anyone is going i could give you a couple of tips on some stuff you could try to finagle...as long as you finagle a couple for me.
