Thought it was high time that I posted a little bit about my current chipping journey and show you all the progress along the way! You'll see a trend of Vegas in my collection as that is where it all started for me. Holds a significance for me so that's where I wanted to focus on the most. Outside of playing some rec poker there and at home, I'd say I spend just as much time at the craps table whenever I visit there. Special thanks ahead of time to those who have helped me get to this point, couldn't have done any of this without you all!
The center of it all starts with my Vegas Strip Collection, which you may have seen inklings of, but essentially I wanted to gather a barrel of both $1s and $5s from every casino on the strip (that used Paulsons). I've always appreciated the art and design aspect that goes into chipping so had to have a way to showcase the great designs of Vegas all in one place. Also fun to try and use as a rat rod set one day! I have 2 open slots both waiting on hopefully Vanderpump and Hard Rock once they open! Will have to start a Vegas retirement collection when we eventually see a casino fade out too. I'll try to keep some consistent posts here of these guys in action as well as updates to the collection as they come!
My top top grail set has to be the Mirage. Top tier theme and top tier chips to go with it. Not only that but the history that came along with its opening is one of Vegas's most defining. All that leads to me falling in love with this set. For sure still a work in progress but one that I'm enjoying the slow pacing for. Even though these damn almonds are proving to be the bane of my existence. Definitely not the sharpest set around but I'm happy to have something I enjoy and will not worry about tossing around and fully enjoying.
My Flamingo set also just scratches that old school itch. Beautiful colors. Still working on this one as well, excited to change over the 25s to custom labels and as well have the set of Canary solids already on the way as my fracs! Maybe one day I'll be able to upgrade them to the spotted versions but will have to wait.
Lastly is my Sundance set, honestly the first set I saw on PCF and really got me into chipping. Classic design and killer house mold. Was nervous at first when I learned about leaded chips but quickly got over that. Have a few more chips coming in to help round this set out then it's off to remaking the greys into fracs!
