I would much rather pay a dealer's / new issue service's fee on a chip(s) and buy them at the convention rather than drive all over in the hopes of obtaining these LE chips. In a perfect world, all dealers who wish to sell these LE chips would have an equal opportunity to obtain them with some left over for those individuals who wish to secure them at the casinos themselves. But this does not seem likely...

With regards to the Hard Rock chip for a $15 purchase, no problem...I have been blessed with a wife that loves to return things. So, for a nominal fee I can have my wife return your Hard Rock purchase the following day (lol).
