I agree. I tried a couple of years ago to cash in whatever I could in Las Vegas including a few hundred dollars worth from Tropicana. In general I had good luck but I missed the Tropicana notice date and was out of luck. FYI, Four Queens cashed in anything ever issued by them. And the various groups of casinos (M Group, Fiesta, etc.) will cash all live chips from any of their casinos. And if one says no good, try another since some within a group are much pickier than others. Found this especially true with the Fiesta group.
