No, there wasn't time to lose it!!! I went from the table to my hand to my pocket with my hand never letting it go. Took it to the room to take pictures, then repeated the process taking it to the cage! Total time: about 10 minutes!!! I'm not expecting to ever see one again though!!

Oh by the way it was a real PIA trying to cash it in. Te cage made numerous phone calls around the casino and I think they even made a call to the pentagon and homeland security before it was finally ok'd!

I got one at Caesars last year (I can post that one later) and there was no issue at all when I got to the cage. You would have thought I had only cashed in a $5 chip!
