MIRAGE Casino to be Sold… Where Do the Chips Go? (1 Viewer)

[allforcharity]

I've always wondered if drop chips show more early damage than other chips, since it is habit for many dealers to rap the edge of the chip on the chip tray before making the drop.

Any updates on the actual closing date.

Technically, The Mirage as owned by MGM has ceased. MGM has agreed to lease back the name "Mirage" to the Hard Rock for a duration of 3 years.

The real question is "when will the rebranding occur", by which we all know means "when will the new chips arrive".

Some of the sharpest 3s I have on me... minimal wear if any

But yes, good point.

Any mint drop chips from the Mirage would have been picked up pretty early in their life. What the mirage had left in 2021 showed lots of nicks from the Mirage mold being too close to the edge. I think they had around 40 or 50 racks and I think there were maybe 20 chips that I would call mint in there. Also lots of blue chip bleed from years of rolling around with the blue 1s in the drop boxes.

Edited to say 20 chips. Not 20 racks......

Just wondering…

1) Any chance Hard Rock reopens the Mirage poker room? (New owner, revised strategy?)

2) If poker room reopens, maybe harvesting of poker room $1’s & $3’s can restart. They must have a hoard of these chips as the poker room shutdown was abrupt.

Seems likely they'll scrap the full current line and replace them with the new branding.
