Looking for real casino chips from the International Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas (not movie props). It later became the Hilton. I'm particularly interested in the $100 chips, but any denomination is still of interest to me. Here's a couple of examples (might be other spot colors):

September bump. Somebody, someday, is going to part with a nice $100 chip for me.
 
The $100 chips seem to be quite rare .
Listed with a Z2 price value in the Chip Rack .
The $1 chip is listed as a M+
The $5 chip is listed as a R
The $25 chip is listed as a Z1

Yep, I know that $100 chip will be expensive. I've got a couple of $1's and a $5, but really want to get my hands on the $100.
 
I used to play high stakes Baccarat back in
the 1960’s /1970’s and I remember using
both the $25 and $100 chips — but back then
no one kept a $100 chip — we all cashed them
in before leaving the casino … same thing at
both Caesar’s Palace and the Landmark …
Never kept any of the high denomination
chips — wish now that I had !!!
 
They were using these chips when Elvis was
the headliner at the International .
That's why I want it. I got to see Elvis there when I was a kid. My parents took me and my dad tipped the Maître d' a black $100 chip to get us excellent seats. That was a lot of money back then. I own the original, signed, 1969 contract Elvis has with the International Hotel. I'd like to frame the contract with a photo, an original Elvis dinner menu and that $100 black chip. I think that would look rather nice.
 
When I lived in Las Vegas back in the late
1960’s and early 1970’s — I was working
for Tracinda Corp. owned by Kirk Kerkorian -
the Armenian “ Howard Hughes “ . Like
Hughes — Kerkorian owned both airllnes
and major Las Vegas Hotels & Casinos .
He built Caesar’s Palace around 1968 and
then the International Hotel in 1969 … I think
that Elvis and Barbara Streisand were the
two main headliners after he opened it …
I saw Elvis at least 4 times — always seated
at the closest tables to his nightly shows …
Kerkorian also built the original MGM Grand
Hotel around 1973 … He also bought the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie studio in 1969 .
He was also interested in the airlines and
purchased Western Airlines in 1968 / 1969 .
Various interests in other airlines also .
Just some of my best memories of earlier
times while living in Vegas …
 
Pulled this out of my collection .
Probably had a few more of these over
the years — but kept this one for the memories .
Not for sale though …
