I'd say you have a pretty hot chip there in the La Rue, Barry. Looks like the chip from the restaurant operated by Jack La Rue in the 50's. This place apparently also had some table games. It was at the same location later occupied by the Sands Hotel. The Chip Rack estimates its value at $350-400 if the condition is not too bad; looks like it might have some damage in the pic. I tweaked it a bit and reposted it by itself so others on the board can get a look at this rarity. I'll bet Michael Knapp will have some more to say on the history of this place <g>.
Afraid I have no clue on the Colorado chip, though.
Congratulations!
