Don't try this at home, but I am close to finishing off a 900 chip hybrid Rio WSOP set, with the line-up below. (340-1s, 240-5s, 160-25s, 120-100s, 20-500s, 20-1000s)

I need to pick up 76 more Rio Bear Claw 5s in great condition. Offering 5-10 each depending on condition and need. They can be Limited Edition, House, RHC or THC, but I prefer and will pay the high end for any of the many WSOP themed LE $5s like these.

This is my current status. I'll be able to harvest the rest of the Rio THC 1s I need on my next Vegas trip. Just need 70 or so Bear Claw $5s to finish the set after that.

Harvesting means having to set foot in the place. When Caesar's bought it it was just to get the WSOP back on the Strip, and they put zero money into it, to the point that when they tried to sell buyers shied away knowing how much it would cost to bring it up to par. Good Luck!

Rio has new owners for a couple years now. They have a $3 Craps table 3 am to 3 pm daily and a remodeled casino pit. With Palms and Gold Coast across the street also running $5 Craps it's worth the trip off the strip nowadays.
 
20 years ago I use to always stay at the Gold Coast for like $50/night. One of the first vegas hotels oddly with flat screen TVs and a free shuttle to the strip. Dropped you off at Bills Gambling lol.
 
Hell, first time I went in 2001 me and friends stayed at Harrahs, took the shuttle and ate at the Rio almost every night because it was faster, cheaper and better. Word is none of those 3 exist right now.
 
I think I have something you could need..

I'm only interested in selling some oversized RHC $5s and I think I could part with some newer $1s if needed. I will keep the older version $1s.
But I have to check about my 5s.
While I would love those THC house $5s they are likely way out of my offer range, but I'm very interested in the oversized RHC $5s.
 
I have some $5 Wsop chips from when I played in 2016.
I have 2016 4 chip set.
I know I have random extras from other years.

I might be able to part with them. Let me check tonight.
 
Progress update:

I was in Vegas last weekend and picked up the Rio $1s I needed. I have picked up Bear Claw $5s to fill close to another barrel. I have 4 more inbound from a recent deal, and 4 from an eBay auction that was pointed out by a few members. I am working on a few deals for larger quantities, so it feels like I am getting close. I'll tag everyone who helped out when I complete the set.

I don't want to get too greedy, but this set would be even nicer if I pushed it up to 1000 by going to 4 full racks of $1s, and added a couple barrels of the WSOP 500s. I can take care of the $1s, so if anyone has a few extra barrels of the 500s let me know.
