Those two 8-8-08 chips are the only readily availabe Las Vegas issued chips, as the 5 others (all from various Harrah's properties) seem to have been passed out to their preferred guests. They may or may not surface. I recall that there is another 8-8-08 issue from the Mid-West (an Indiana casino, if I am recalling correctly) which I also believe is a $5 chip.

If you should find others, please let us know, as some here are interested as well.

As a collector from Europe, are you somewhat familiar with TheChipBoard and some of the other European collectors that post here from time-to-time? Perhaps you have been watching this site for a while (as others do) or you may be brand new to collecting, but in any event, please feel welcome here. Perhaps you might let us know a little bit more about yourself, as others here are interested in chips (jetons and plaques) from Europe.

May I also suggest visiting, unless you are already aware, the web-site at www.ccgtcc.com

The represents the organized activity of casino memorabilia collecting and at about 2,700 members (World-Wide) we are always interested in welcoming new members.

Good luck with you 8-8-08 search.
