Try to find the best chips with the least blemishes. I was fortunate to hit the Bellagio about a month after it opened, so my Bellagio chips are clean with razor-sharp edges.
I like the idea of asking about new chips when you hit the cage to cash out -- I might try that. |

Be careful what you ask for! If you're a chip junkie or a poker junkie, too close might be too close. |

May sound strange to some, but its a fun way to see lots of different places and build a collection. To each his own, right? | Sounds like a great way to build a collection. I've bowled in annual tournaments across the country and done the same thing with shot glasses. Two of the next 3 tournaments are in Reno and Vegas. These will be the first times I've been back to either place since I've caught the poker/chip bug hard. You can bet (no pun intended) I'll be hitting every place I can and pocketing a souvenir or two.
You can also bet that when I'm done, I'll be so broke I can't pay attention. [smilie=biggrin.gif]  |  | |
