For me I started before my fist trip to Vegas. Growing up as kids we always played poker with some old poker chips that my gramma had. Turns out they are from illegal clubs in the Chicago area. Then when I took my first trip to Vegas, I did the same thing as Terry did up and down the strip. Not nearly as far of a walk as it is now. Then on our first anniversary my wife and I went to Lake Tahoe and I got the 4 season set from Cal Neva lodge and those are probably some of my favorite chips. Very cool looking chips plus the memory.
