For those wondering if these are real or not we now have an answer for that. They are just as I thought where they are basically printed or some sort of nice glossy printing onto a keychain or something that is placed into the key chain. I will say, I'm surprised at how nice they look. The print quality is very nice and the denomination is actually "raised" which makes it pretty nice.

On top of them being a part of the promotion that they are doing. These are actually for sale in the gift ship for $7 per keychain. For that price I was willing to buy one of each, almost tempted to buy a few of them. I brought them to the SNCCC for everyone to see. Unfortunately for those that wanted them to be real, they aren't and I'm still thinking that it wouldn't make any sense for the El Cortez to giveaway $3-4k chips left and right. Let's say they would have been found in the back of the safe, they would have needed to have the gaming commissions permission to even do this. On top of that they would have probably had to have them stamped with a "no cash value" or something similar for them to be "obsolete". My second wave of thoughts if in any way these chips would have been real.

Hope you enjoy!!!
