Hey all,
I moved to Vegas about 2 years ago, and only recently starting collecting chips. I have been a lifetime collector of random other things, and now that I'm in Vegas, it only seems like a natural transition. My goal is to have at least one chip from every casino that currently exists in Las Vegas, as well as a few "chase" pieces for me.
I play poker, so I enjoy collecting a few different chips from the places I play. I'm very regretful that I didn't start doing this sooner, as many of the casinos look like they're going to remain permanently closed thanks to Covid, so getting chips will be much more challenging (Fiesta, etc.). I also made the mistake of not having this idea sooner, as I've played in a bunch of casinos in different states/countries (pre-Covid) that I probably won't be able to travel to any time soon.
I bought a neat board to insert the chips into, which I will be getting framed eventually, and I'd very much like to end up with a few of them. Hopefully I'll be able to track down my grails here, and hopefully the Chip Collectables show ends up happening next year, because that sounds like a blast.
I would love any advice more "seasoned" collectors have for me.
I've attached pictures of my "base" collection.
