I picked up this on eBay. It appears to be a Chipco plaque:
It's possible it was made by someone besides Chipco, but given the date (1995) I suspect that's unlikely.
I'm curious about the subject matter. The Hilton is now the Westgate, but the "Sky Villa" suites were designed in the 1990s and are the ultimate in luxury hotel suites. The Verona Sky Villa is the largest of the three, and in fact is the largest in the US at 15,400 square feet.

Here's a video tour from the hotel itself:
Here's some people who can afford to pay $10,000 per night for a hotel room, bitching about how the Verona decor is SOOOO thirty years ago: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g45963-i10-k13091098-Westgate_Sky_Villa-Las_Vegas_Nevada.html
must be nice
Anyway, can anyone tell me, or hazard a guess, as to what function this plaque served? Is this like an "okay, here's some pocket change, go have fun" voucher that you can take to the tables and gamble with? Pay $10,000 for the suite and you get a free $10,000 chip that's only good for one spin at roulette or something, with the expectation that you'll be putting up another $100,000 of your own money afterwards? Is it a high-roller plaque that you pay cash for like any other chip, but it's got special branding on it because you're a special person who's staying in the special suite?
Any info anyone has would be most appreciated.
