Ok -so after many, many relabel attempts on RHC, I decided to attempt a set that would hold my interest and not send me off the deep end always looking for an upgrade.
My biggest weakness with mixed sets is making up my mind...@Gear can attest to this (I've never sent in an order that I didn't try to change at least once.) I've bought and sold thousands of RHCs looking for the perfect combination on spots, colors, etc...and I just cannot ever finish the set. SO I sold off all my RHCs and all the labels.

I thought that a solid set would be easier for my crazy brain to process and complete. I was mostly right. Still changed my labels order several times. But at least I've been less wishy-washy with color selection. Simplifying things by removing spots from the equation seemed to help quite a bit.

Ended up going with a Mirage tribute design that I first worked on with Gear in February 2017. Love the Mirage's logo, and wanting something similar as a tribute. Plus I thought the black label with multicolor trees would set off the colors of the solids.

Received the labels on Friday, and started milling. Took a while to get the depth stop on my drill to work properly, so the recess on the $100s and some of the $20s are a bit deep. After I figured that out, it was smooth sailing...until the quill spring on the drill snapped with 21 chips to go. So we are not quite complete yet.

Thanks goes out to:
@Josh Kifer for some chips and some advice, @Saoliver for the dealer button (you rock!), @Gear for the patience and the always perfect product/service, @ReallyGoodUsername for proper ID of the Definitely Not Blaze Orange chips (so I could afford them), and my wife for applying the lion's share of the labels and enforcing quality control!

I still need to do a few things to complete this:
1. The blues are very thirsty and need some oil.
2. The oranges need some individual attention with the Magic Eraser and some oil.
3. I need to fix the drill press and murder 21 more orange chips.

Those are awesome!
I was gonna do the exact same thing with my solids.
I like you colors better.
Is that blaze? Yum
 
Great looking set! Label design works very well with a solids set.

Any dirty stack concern with the green 25c and yellow $1?
 
Great set!

Uhm, when you murder, you generally try to get rid of the evidence, not gather everything up and then actually put them on display....
I knew I was doing SOMETHING wrong... :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Fantastic set. Looks very fun, probably a joy to play with. Have you considered labeling them the "Froot Loops Casino Resort" ?
 
This set is amazing! If anyone has a Mirage dealer button they want to sell, pm me please. Thanks!
 
I was like “hey that’s the exact same breakdown I have”. But then I realized I bought my labels from you. Lol. You must have sold me half the labels you had.

I’m almost done with them. Just have to acquire few more racks. Completely different color scheme from yours though. Let me know if you have extra racks you’re looking to get rid of
 
Love this set! I'd thought about making a Beatles 'Sgt Peppers' themed set, and if I ever did these would be the exact chips I'd want to use.

That said, I love these colors, period, and I've got fond memories of the Mirage (including seeing the Cirque Du Soleil Beatles tribute 'Love' on the night I proposed to my wife!), and the Mirage branding is great.

Well done!
