Found Live Flamingo $5s (1 Viewer)

Update: Only looking for mint chips now

Looking for one or two racks. Finder's fee based on condition.

Minimum fee of $100. (ie - get two racks at the cage, taking whatever they give you and shipping it to me gets you cost plus $100.)

Cost plus $150 fee per rack if you talk the cashier into providing mint/unused racks.

There have been several reports of new chips arriving, so it really shouldn't be that difficult.

I was at the Flamingo in February and played a little poker. IIRC, there are a mix of different $5 chips including large inlay (which may or may not be RHC mold?), small inlay on THC [like the photo above], and even a few Bud Jones chips (red with black stripes) sprinkled in.

But there were some newer chips that were small inlay on THC mold, so maybe it is possible to get full racks of these (mint?) from the cage?

If you are staying there the ladies at the main cage are very accommodating. Every morning they would say, “Good morning Mr. David, I have more spotted chips for you!”

More than any other room I've been in, the Flamingo apparently loves to make commemorative $5s and blend them in. It has been that way for at least a decade. Every barrel of fives I've ever gotten there has been a mix. Almost all of the commemorative chips are RHC with giant inlay. The exception is the Bud Jones version they have (I always bet these first when I have them in my stack).

As an homage, I'm going to get two or three barrels of alternative chips to mix in with set set I'm building. Here is the first batch...

The poor birds look so lonely.

Just booked a trip for June so I can pick these up myself.

However, I'm still paying if someone can grab a mint/unused rack while they are available.

Now that is a set! Almost... GL with your search!

 

[crussader]

As soon as I get the $5s it will be playable. (Although there will be more to come to fully complete the set)

 

[crussader]

Still looking

It’s amazing how great your Mirage Poker $1s are compared to what’s left in the poker room. You have the cream of the crop.

Credit goes to @FDLmold. I was trying to decide what to do for a 5 cent chip, and he put those up for sale all labeled and ready to go.

I have 100+ more sharp-as-hell stickered Mirage Poker ones if anybody else wants some. They were nice. I miss them a little. But the chips that replaced them I like better.

Nice set! GLW the missing chips.
