Here is the letter I wrote to Ed Fasulo:

June 27, 1999

Mr. Ed Fasulo, General Manager
Fiesta Hotel & Casino
2400 N. Rancho Dr.
Las Vegas NV 89130

Dear Mr. Fasulo,

I have been a collector of casino chips & tokens since 1992. This year, I attended my first CC>CC convention in Las Vegas. While there, I visited the Fiesta, purchased some chips at the cage and obtained one of the special convention chips honoring Archie Black.

Last year, I was unable to attend the convention, but Gene Trimble was kind enough to send me one of the CC>CC 10th Anniversary chips that the Fiesta produced to recognize the chip collecting hobby.

Both of these special chips are very attractive and highly desirable for chip collectors. It is extraordinary that the Fiesta, though not the host hotel for the convention, has been willing to produce these chips. I'm sure I speak for all members of the club when I say that we appreciate this special effort on our behalf.

Thank you and everyone else at the Fiesta for your support of our club and our hobby.

Sincerely,

Jim Reilly, Claims Director
Casino Chips & Gaming Tokens Collectors Club, Member #R3606
