Archie, Thanks for the information about Laughlin. I was there 3 years ago & found it to be delightful. Most of the casinos were on the river, many giveaways, loose slots for my wife, & freindly people. The median age of the people in the town was 85! They didn't seem as bothered by the heat as I did. I was called "young man" 23 times & it felt good. We then drove up though Searchlight & stopped at the 2 action packed casinos in that town. I had to beg the owner to open the BJ table so I could get some chips. I'm going to pass on that trip so save your roulette chips for another trip. I would be happy to try to get you chips from Mequite. By the way, the Hard Rock Hotel is having some sort of basketball tournament during the week. I was told that they will be producing a new pin "Hoops in Vegas". I wonder if they will have a new chip as well. Bring your HRC traders.
