Welcome Michael, I started colelcting chips in 1992, FINALLY became a member last January...now realize it was a HUGE mistake to have not joined alot sooner - the people in this club are the greatest (as you will find out). Now start watching the mailbox for a big envelope with not only your official-wizz-bang membership card, but a whole load of goodies with it (club magazine, coupons, etc,etc). And start saving your money for Vegas - only 40 days (and a few minutes) till the real fun begins! Again welcome!
