I went to Vegas and I wanted to play craps in every casino on the strip. I went from one to the next, and kept a $1 and $5 from each table I played at. When I got home and started putting them in a book, I thought they were just the coolest momentos about my trip. I searched for casino chip collecting on the web and came across the club website and this board. We were planning a trip to Laughlin the following year and it was at the same time as the convention. My wife and I became members just so we could take a look-see at what the convention was like. It was amazing, and I've been collecting ever since.
