This summer, on July 15th, a group bought the Radisson and made it a Hilton hotel, named the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino. Before it was the Radisson, it was the Golden Tulip, and before that, the Aruba Carbbean, the first resort hotel and the first casino in Aruba. I like the way they incorporated the original name in the new hotel name. Anyway, the Hilton kept the casino management company, a company out of Colorado. So, they kept using the equipment from the Radisson, even though it was no longer a Radisson. Well, they now have chips with their name on them, probably cards and dice, too. The players cards still say Radisson, though. Here are the new $1 and $5 chips:

The old casino name was the questionable The Casino at the Radisson, now it's just The Casino. Oh well. I have a few $1 chips to sell, $3 + $2 domestic shipping. Two are already in the mail, and I have made offers to 3 others, who have long bought Aruba chips from me. The rest are for sale. If you want one, please send me an e-mail. I will not be checking the board too often tonight, so e-mail will have priority.

Game On has some quality issues, apparently, and some are slightly off-center. I tried to show the worst side and I believe all are perfectly centered on the side not shown. If you buy one, I will pick the best one available. If all remaining are off-center, I will let you know before you pay.

The new casino has been added to the Chip Guide this morning. I hope to get playing cards and more to add to the site eventually. It's been a good month for my collection!
