Don't recall any silk plants in any of the rooms that I have stayed in. I collect so much other stuff though, Soap, Shampoo, Mouthwash, Glasses, Beads, Cards, Dice, Slot Cups, Note Pads etc. that I wouldn't have any room in checked bags anyways. I don't think a ficus would fit very well under the seat or in overhead compartment. That is, as mentioned, assuming I could get it past security. Besides, Do any casinos put their names on their plants? Wouldn't want one then.

In all seriousness though, I have picked up a couple of nice pieces of felt. One a roulette from Taj that I got on eBay. The other on my last trip to Vegas. Was playing BJ at 4am when the Pit Boss told us they were closing our table in an hour. We could see that they were stripping some of the tables. We asked and he gave us a couple of the felts. It made me wonder, when at Luxor one afternoon, How can I get one of those. They are some of the coolest designs that I have seen, next to Hard Rock. Never been there but saw a really cool one on eBay for about 150. I noticed with the felt that I got it had a tiny cigarette burn, no drink stains, some light ground in dirt and a couple of rips in corners around the chip tray and bill slot and the edge was as if, after they stapled it the installer just hacked off the excess. Doesn't matter much as when I frame or mount it I can edge it or matte it and you will not notice the imperfections. After all, It has the cheracter of being game used too. Someone, sorry can't remember who, posted a picture here a while back of a millenium one from a boat that he got. He had it mounted and framed. It was really cool.
