| | | Vegas chip hunt.
I just dropped my parents off for their Vegas trip. I can not wit for them to come back. They are there for 7 days and should be on a chip hunt for me while they are there. I asked them to get a $1 chip from everywhere and they are going to pick up the $1 - $20 at the Wynn.
I will post scans when I get the chips.

| | Hope you get some nice ones. I usually ask my friends to bring back any new $1 or $5 chip they come across. Problem is, its very hard for someone to save a chip for you. Especially when they are losing and want to play with every chip.
About 70% of the time my friends come back and say that they forgot to save any chips. Grrrr !! 
I need to hit Vegas sometime soon... |

| | News on the Vegas chip hunt. My parents were supposed to back today but they just hit over $400,000 dollar jackpot on a quarter wheel of fortune machine at the airport so they are staying another day to get this all taken care of. Guess I will have to wait another day.

All your $1 chips will probably seem anti-climactic after that huge jackpot, but WE still want to see them.
(But think of all the taxes they have to pay...) |

I just wish it was me that was that lucky. They were up pretty good for the whole week.
