hey Tarl, I had a similar experience w/ the GG a while back. Me and Gina went in and I asked the cage for chips, "sorry we can't sell them at the cage". Seems like it was a weekend nite. Next time me and Leo Tan go in, and a real nice lady at the cage unloaded chips on me. Actually I asked for the "big bridge" $1 chip and went thru 100's of chips but didn't find one. BUT we did get some new ones. It was during a weekday.
