If you do get to Vancouver, go to the Great Canadian Casino in the Holiday Inn. it was the only GCC with a poker room last year.

Ask for my friend, the casino manager, his name is Randy Sue.
He will help you get any past or current GCC chips. I just got another package from him again last week.
If you really want to get on his good side take him an autographed picture of any professional boxer.
Tell him I will see him next June.
