The idea for a club building sounds interesting. Difficult to raise the funds, but worth pursuing.
Personally, I envision more of a "club house" for members, with some displays, etc. but different than the Tropicana museum, for example.
I would favor a Las Vegas location, since that IS the center of world for chipping. Another alternative (as long as we're dreaming) would be to approach Harrah's in Reno, to incorporate something into whatever they rebuild on the site of the old Harolds Club.
Another idea: buy a closed branch bank building in LV, rent out the safe deposit boxes to chippers for some extra income, turn the lobby into a display area, and meeting place for members & guests.
Raising the money: a 4-step process:
1. Withdraw $3 from club treasury
2. Insert into Megabucks machine
3. Hit the Megabucks jackpot
4. Buy building.
I've got a clear idea on how to do steps 1, 2 and 4. Need some help with step #3 <g>.
