Funny story about how I got the $100 El Cortez chips. Around 15 years ago a tweaker girl got in touch with me to sell 20 of these chips and some $25 chips. I met her at a local gas station. She told me she was part of the family that owned the El Cortez. After I paid her she rode off on a moped and said she was heading to Portland.
At the time they were live chips so I went to the Cortez to cash them. I only took a few to see if they would take them. They did but asked me all kinds of questions about how I got them. They gave me a hard time so I did not try to cash any of the other chips. I always wondered who she was.
