Ralph, I can relate to your problem yesterday, as I have been SHUT OUT the last two years at the Horseshoe trying to get the $2.50 Chip at the end of the poker tourney. I was also shut out at Mandalay Bay on the Dragon chips. I always get crap at the TROPICANA on getting there 5 "lousey" chips, glad they put the LE chip program on hold.

Even though I have problems with these casinos it does not want to make me quit collecting/buying there chips.

The life blood of the LV market is pre-sold chips. How many does Gene pre-sell at the Fiesta etc......

Ralph, you usually buy the amount at the FQs that you need, this was just one situation that happened.....whatever they do, it seems they can not win.

The FQs used to have a chip list published everyday (older LEs) for the collector to see and you could pick out the chips available. Well with another new cage Mgr about 9 months ago, the list is no longer available to the public. That makes it very difficult to know what they have available. I have tried to get the older LE chip list reinstated, NO LUCK.... Chuck, LV
