Good morning Vegas! (1 Viewer)

[HanShot1st]

I’m in Vegas with the wife, her first trip. So likely no poker

But on the hunt for some nice chips/memorabilia and memories.

It’s going to be fun!

Make sure you hit Spinettis while you're there!

 

[HanShot1st]

Told the wife that’s a stop I want to make!

 

[HanShot1st]

First day’s bounty!

That Bally's white THC with light blue spots is such a nice clean chip ...one of my favs (y) :thumbsup:

 

[Mockk]

I second that! I love going to Spinettis. I always pick up some chips from the different casinos I go to also though. I have just about every $1 chip that is on the strip but need a few more still.

 

[Jordan Downs]

Those are all nice looking chips!

Okay so this is probably a silly question but, are all Vegas casinos chips Paulsons?

No.

Flamingo has some BJ's chips mixed in their 5's. Years ago, the LV Hilton aka Whyte House in James Bond's Diamonds are Forever had Chipco chips. Circus Circus, Luxor and Casino Royale had Chipco years ago as well. I think early Paris chips were also Chipco ceramics.

 

[Jordan Downs]

Cool thanks for the info.

Cromwell and Linq both have some sort of ceramic type chips. Aria daily tourneys use Bud Jones chips.

I don't understand.

 

[Jordan Downs]

Man, that Bellagio chip is one classy looking chip!

 

[HanShot1st]

I don't understand.

She’s tolerant of my playing poker, but not so much on a shared vacation. When I should be spending time with her, etc.

I did also learn first hand that Circus Circus has both clay and ceramic $100 chips.

Yes... these dogs are barking.

Eating breakfast with the wife at the airport. What a great trip!

Last days bounty...including a stop at Spinettis

Nice TRKs. Seriously nice.

Damn bro, I coulda given you a binions THC chip, lol. I have a few spares.

Solution easy. Take a poker trip, then a month later, take the wife for a no poker trip... fund the wife trip on poker winnings from the first trip.

Which method did you use?

• Method 1 Teach her to play poker is effective, but best done early. Also best done with other couples, so she doesn't feel like the only woman in the room crashing a man's party.
• Method 2 Drop her of at Qua spa (Caesars). 4 hours of relaxing, herbal tea, and incredibly expensive massage / treatments, while you get 4 hours at the table trying to claw it back. Best part, if you lose your entire buy-in, it is still less than she dropped at the spa, so it's guilt-free gambol!

I get the wifey a spa package, she gets 2 to 3 hours of pampering and I get 2 to 3 hours of gambling. Just make sure you play high enough stakes to pay for it lol

 

[BukNaked36]

I paid $299 for my $1 Caesar's chip the last time I was in Vegas

Yours aren't THC though

 

[Trihonda]

They’re not?

 

[RowdyRawhide]

Are they not RHC to match the rest of the bennies

Sure, the Benny’s chips are RHC, as were the Binions chips that I relabeled to match.

Part of the harvesting process involved an awesome member doing that harvesting for me, which yielded numerous inclusions of the newer THC chips. I still have a number of the binions left over THC chips. I keep forgetting to take those back to Vegas to cash in... or maybe I’m saving those to trade to folks at meetups?
