The chips came from the convention, trades, and the casinos. I had a lot of fun acquiring chips, tokens, strikes, cashout tickets, slot cards, room keys, bungee cords, flyers, hats, t-shirts, pens and many other items during my stay.

I think my suitcase weighed around 100 pounds, and my backpack weighed around 60 pounds. Needless to say, I spent some time hanging out with airport security...

The only "casualty" of my trip was a nice glass tumbler from the Pioneer that I won from the Jackpot Auctions prize wheel. Airport Security was a little careless repacking that one.
