Vegas, baby! And one of the great strip casinos -- Caesars Palace. For fans of architecture (like me), this grand sparkling white roman-styled casino has always been a treat to look at in the bright desert sun.

The chip is the 2nd issue $.50, N1389, from 1966. A beauty -- the gold inlay mimicking sealing wax or a stamped goil coin, and the bright red denomination against a simple beige HCE chip.
