My BOLO project, a.k.a Happy Birthday to me!, a.k.a. need help from any chipper visiting or has contacts in Nevada (1 Viewer)

In for $200, out for $260.

Unfortunately, these things aren’t in the greatest shape:

Maybe will clean up ok with a little effort.
 
Thanks to @PlaidDragon for the Fiestas, and to @bradiggy for his hard work getting Primm Valley Resortm, Whiskey Pete's, Arizona Charlie's Boulder, and Bighorn Casino to his previous victories, and my cousin for a near mint barrel of Tropicanas! Pr0n will be updated once I get a chance to clean and oil them all.
 
As far as what's left for me to complete my collection, there's a little bit of flexibility. I'm just putting this out there in case anyone is passing through one of these places and can spare the time to quickly harvest/purchase a barrel of live $1s for me. Condition doesn't matter. Clay vs. ceramic vs. plastic doesn't matter. All mixed in a barrel is okay, too, as long as they are live. Any help would be appreciated!

Circus Circus
Palms
Any ONE of the following: Ellis Island, Gold Coast, Palace Station, Tuscany, Westgate, Wild Wild West

Are the Harrah's Reno live chips? That would make a pretty sick Cali Hundo!
 
I will pick up the El Co, Cal, and Main Street for you. I may get over to Boulder Highway and pick up more. Will advise.
 
I will be in Wendover in August and will try to grab some chips for you if the BBQ contest allows me any time and energy to do so.
 
I’ll take credit for most of those, but I didn’t harvest from Harrah’s. Thought you said it was an in-law or something.
 
@asian bino comes through with California, El Cortez, Main Street Station, Orleans (all Vegas) and Club Fortune, Joker's Wild, Skyline, and Sunset Station (Henderson)! A great many thanks! Won't be able to update pr0n for a few weeks, but they're on their way!
 
Update! 88% complete! And a better camera to take the pics, too!

A million thanks to all who have helped out with the collection!

If anybody can help me with a light harvest of a barrel of live $1s from any of the following casinos, please let me know (my goal is to try to get the set together by Xmas if possible):

From the Las Vegas: Circus Circus, Palms
plus any ONE of the following: Ellis Island, Gold Coast, Palace Station, Tuscany, Westgate, Wild Wild West
plus any ONE of the following: Arizona Charlie's Decatur, Aliante, Cannery, Eastside Cannery, Fiesta Rancho, Longhorn, Rampart, Red Rock, Silver Nugget, South Point, Suncoast

From Laughlin:
any FOUR of the following: Aquarius, Colorado Belle, Edgewater, Golden Nugget, Harrah's, Tropicana

From Elko/Wendover:
any FOUR of the following: Red Lion, Stockmen's, Montego Bay, Nugget (Wendover), Peppermill, Rainbow, Red Garter

As before, I'm not picky about composition (clay, ceramic, plastic all okay), and not even that picky about condition (although better would be preferred), and I don't even worry about consistency (they can be a mix of $1s designs, as long as they are all live). If you can help out with 2 or 3 barrels at a time, it would be much appreciated. Will of course compensate for time and shipping.
 
With many thanks to @wonderpuddle , we are on the cusp of finishing the Las Vegas 50 goal! Updated pic:

49/50 done. As you can see, I've left one barrel empty (left side, 2nd from bottom, 4th barrel) for some live Palms $1s. If anybody is going to be at/near Palms LV in the near future, I'd appreciate a holler. I'll be in LV in December, so if nobody else gets me before then I (or my wife) will make the hop over there.

This really leaves mostly the Nevada Outside Las Vegas 50 to finish off, so if anybody can help me out with barrel harvesting at any of these casinos, it will certainly be appreciated:

From Laughlin (if anybody travels through from Arizona):
any FOUR of the following: Aquarius, Colorado Belle, Edgewater, Golden Nugget, Harrah's, Tropicana

From Elko/Wendover (if anybody travels through from Utah):
any FOUR of the following: Red Lion, Stockmen's, Montego Bay, Nugget (Wendover), Peppermill, Rainbow, Red Garter

Any updates?

Oh, yeah, it's kinda finished, from early last year. BUT it really is a continual work in progress, because there already have been some closures, and once we reach heard immunity and Vegas turns back to normal operations, then I will review to see if some barrels need to be replaced. Hard Rock Vegas is gone, might have to get some Mohegan Sun to replace, but maybe something better on the Strip will come along. Will have to see if everything in Henderson and Laughlin and Tahoe survives, too.
