Here's a message I received about this year's Hard Rock Pindex. It seems it also will include a casino collectibles and chip show:

Hello everyone,

I want you to be first to know that after 5 seasons, Pindex will not be hosted in Las Vegas this
year, you need a change of scenery. Instead I am making arrangements for a step up to the beauty
of South Lake Tahoe. The dates will be the same 3 days after Labor day, Sept 6,7,8 2005
Hotel deals and dealer setups are being worked on, so further details will be slightly delayed.

This will be an expanded collector show, including not only pins but teddy bears and Casino &
chip collectibles.

I hope to see more collectors than ever at this exciting new event, so mark you calendars.
