Re:Harvey's and Harrah's
were very friendly for a ong time this way and would even send you obsolete chips they had in the vault from other casinos. Ceasars in Vegas and the Dessert Inn were places you could pick up an occasional rarity from the cage at face and the Trop has been very kind also. Of course I tip well and ask about 3 am when things aren't so busy on a weekday. Of course if you popped in a few days later you'd get a few more. Things have dried up over the years though. Prices on e-bay have made an impact, I guess.
