>>>Is there any difference between a brothel chip sold in the gift shop and a Souveneir Palms chip only sold in the gift shop (OR WORSE YET - a Hard Rock Cafe chip)?????

As I said in another post -- No. I have no problem with these chips as long as the seller is honest about. Everyone here would jump on a seller who sold the Palms souvenior chip or the Hard Rock Cafe chips as "Being Used at the Casino".

Its not a question about whether you should collect them. I agree with you -- if you like them collect them if not don't. I'm certain you agree with me that sellers should be honest about them.
