... very clear, Bob. I actually meant that it didn't make the final 10 eligible for COTY. I know for a fact that it was nominated because it was 1st on my list (the Harrah's "Dry Heat" chip was my second choice).

I would have nominated the Midnight Rose $100, which I actually considered the second best looking chip of the year, but I was still boycotting the so-called "millennium" chips! <g>

BTW, I think the $1000 Paris Roulette is pretty nice, too! ----- jim o\-S
