but I've never seen a chip from the place, in any denomination. Doubt Hollywood celebs would frequent Pancho's - unless somehow they went up to Edwards to entertain the troops. Which I sorta doubt, as it was something of a "secret air base." Naked goils in the swimming pool? Oooohh, deal me in!

One possibility - since the clientele were flyers, a few could have kept their chips as good luck tokens and travelled - well, across the country with them.

Could it be that the $25 chip was used as - ahem! - a bordello token? $25 for a swim with the blonde beneath the diving board, dude!
