I'm interested in starting a collection of Las Vegas chips and have a few questions.
First, I would like to find an online source where I could buy a "starter kit" of common $1 chips for a reasonable price, or buy individual common chips to get my collection started. What is a reasonable price to pay for common current chips?
I'm going to Las Vegas next week and plan on picking up some $1 chips there. Is there an accepted way to purchase the chips if I'm not planning on spending any time gambling in a particular casino?
Any recommendations on places in LV where I could pick up a group of assorted $1 chips at reasonable prices? Any displays of chips I should see while I'm there?

Thanks for any help you can give me!
