I hear you Brian! Some of us road warriors really enjoy roaming Nevada and checking out as many casinos existing and gone as we can. That always seems to enhance my enjoyment of any chip from these places I may have. My last acquistion is a '40's chip from Hotel Nevada in Ely, a place I've stayed at a couple of times and it's easy to imagine my chip in play at the tables there.

By all means attend the convention and you'll find out the other best thing about the hobby... the people in it! Hope to see you there.
