Fremont Hotel and Casino: 1956 Issue
Fremont was one of the earliest modern full resort style hotel casinos in Las Vegas. Less flashy and more working class Vegas with player friendly gambling, it is one of the oldest operating casinos, surviving through the years with multiple ownership changes and renovations. The Fremont casino and street area is famous for its historic Vegas charm, and was important in shaping downtown Las Vegas.

Moulin Rouge:

Opened in 1955, this was the first fully integrated hotel and casino in Las Vegas history, allowing both White and Black performers and guests to mingle freely. The casino was open for only about a year, so there aren't many chips that made it out.
There's a great little thread on the Moulin Rouge chips here.

Sheraton Desert Inn: 1993 Issue
In 1993 the Desert Inn resort was bought out by ITT Sheraton, however it never went through a full re-brand, and operated fundamentally as the same Desert Inn casino hotel property. In 1995 Sheraton pulled back from casino branding and operations, so the name Sheraton was dropped and reverted back to Desert Inn. Ownership continued on until 2000 when the property was sold to Steve Wynn and became The Wynn.

When can we see a group photo?
Probably when I've deemed the project "complete". I started out just thinking to grab $100's from the major casinos, but didn't plan on there being so many different issues, baccarats and other casino's that I'd start collecting as well. I'm almost at the place where I'm happy so hopefully soon :)
