Actually I believe that there will also be trading all day Wednesday in a special room if "guards" can be found. Regarding how many chips to bring - I have never been a dealer and I bring my chips and price guides, etc. in a roll around suitcase. It normally weighs about 150 pounds and is almost impossible to lift into the overhead compartment. I would definitely suggest that if you bring chips that you do not check them with your luggage. Expect to get funny stares and searched at each airport check point.
