I was bored this afternoon so I scanned all my casino chips, mostly from a 2005 trip to Vegas, so don't expect anything exotic.
See any that are worth more than about face value?  |

Yeah, there all worth a buck a piece, they're all current chips as far as I can tell,, except maybe the moneymaker binions...and that may be worth less than face value

I think the Binions, Luxor, and Stratosphere may be retired.
I thought that Moneymaker was worth thousands! |

Funny I just noticed that I have the Stratosphere chip but with the Sunburst mold.
I guess that 4aces would love the middle chip in the top row. |

Actually, generally speaking, a current, in very good condition, $1 (USD) chip from a Las Vegas casino (or even any US casino) will be worth around $3. That is the going retail rate. It is always possible to get them for less, but generally speaking they will go for between $1.99 and $3.
With respect to your 2005 Las Vegas visit, you covered quite a few casinos and then some! (Canada and Louisiana?)
Anyway, you are correct, some of those chips are now obsolete, or no longer in-play. Unfortunately, this does not change their values. Thsoe no longer in-use are:
Luxor (Chipco)
Excalibur (Paul-Son)
Bally's/Paris (Chipco)
Binion's (Horseshoe) (Paul-Son)
I am not sure about the Flamingo (Bud Jones) and the Aladdin may go away after Planet Hollywood is fully in-place.
This grouping is a respectible start!
Congratulations and thanks for posting them.

See any that are worth more than about face value? | If nothing else, they're certainly worth a trade or three, if you're interested. I have a PM button, and know how to use it...
(And yep, 7th, I love that chip, but have it already. Thanks for thinking of me though!) |

Not to mention all the others on the list that strongly influenced my perception the last weeks.   |

Seriously though, thanks. And thanks also, develvjd-, for your speedy reply; I buzzed you right back. |
