I'm proud to say that I'm a new member to the Club. A little bit about me: I'm 39, married to a wonderful wife Lori and we have a 12 year old son Austin(he likes chips too). My collection started mainly getting $5 house chips or any Grand Opening chips as souvineers from Vegas casinos or any casinos we visited. There are still some $5 house chips I haven't "harvested" yet. About 3 years ago when I was in Vegas for business, Craig Duke, whom I met through some NASCAR events, was my "taxi" driver as he took my to some casinos I needed chips from and to some casinos I had never heard of. We get to Vegas about every 3 years or so. I've kept up on new releases by reading the chipboard which is extremly helpful. I went to the swap meet in Cincinnati and met some fine folks there and bought some chips, as I don't have any traders as of yet. I've posted here on the board three times before and received nothing but kindheartedness in everyones responses. One silly question, my membership number, is that the same as my "order Number" on my receipt from doing the online application? If anyone has any North Las Vegas $5 House chips they are willing to part with Let me know, I'll try to talk my wife into letting my get some. Also, I informed my wife on what I would like for Fathers Day.... The New Chip Rack 11 and she has agreed to get that for me.
Enough rambling for now. Thanks for your time.
