I like that token!
However, not wanting a Newbie to be lead astray, that pink, Bud Jones, 25-center is from the now gone Castaways that was re-constituted from the old Showboat. However, the other chips are from the original Castaways on the Strip.
A quick story about those pink, 25-cent chips. When the place was still open, another chipper and I decided to stop in. We immdediately decided that the place was such a dump, that it was on the verge of folding. After having lunch (he treated, thanks!) we spotted the new, hot-pink 25-cent chips. We both asked for a stack of 20, and they had no problem doing this at one of the craps tables. We both pocketed the chips, left the place and about a week later it closed!
I guess it really was on the verge of folding when we were there earlier!
