No I did not see the plaques. The thing about the high limit areas is this, the "staff" does not want you standing around watching others play. They want to watch you play and lose. Believe me, when you play in there, they want you to lose. The last last thing they want a player to do is to walk with several hundred thousand dollars. I did talk to one of the associates in the salon and he told me they will only bring out the high denomination chips/plaques when requested to by a player. The player must have a certain credit line in order to make this request. It is next to impossible to get pictures of really high denomination chips because when you play with them and you are finished with your session, they credit your account. You are not allowed to take them to the cage. "Small" denomination chips such as $1000 and $5000 can be purchased from the cage, photographed, and then cashed back in. Anything over that and they don't want to give you a chance to copy the chip.
