Local Collector Gets Small Vegas Casino!

TO EVERYONE WHO WROTE ABOUT THAT SMALL VEGAS CASINO FOR SALE!

As I was walking down The Strip,I saw a guy in a white sequined jumpsuit.As he turned I saw his dark sunglasses and long side burns. Around his neck was a bezel barring a $1,000.00 International Chip with a portrait of the "King" in the center. So I asked Elvis where did he get a chip like that?
He said, Come with me kid and I'll tell you my story!

We went into the nearest Casino, which happened to be FOR SALE! We talked about Casino History and I told him the "Who, When, and Where" of Vegas, as he ate peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I just had a plain chicken sandwich,"Hold the Banana's, Please"! I then learned that Elvis had been collecting chips ever since his first appearance at the Frontier in 1955.
I told him about my dream to someday own a casino, by then the owner had noticed Elvis, and as we spoke with him he convinced Elvis to buy the casino and trade me for my Chip Collection. So Now my Dream of having my own Casino and Museum on The Strip will now come true.
Elvis also thru' in His Chip on the Deal. Now I ONLY have "ONE" CHIP in my collection, "Elvis' One-of-a-Kind Chip" and the only surviving $1,000.00 International. All the other International chips are buried at Graceland!

Although I will have to share my museum with Elvis and his Pink Cadillac and his Blue Suede Shoes.I can put on display "Bugsy's Limo and Wilbur Clark's Dentures!
STOP IN WHEN IN LAS VEGAS!!
