Roman Catholic Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer chips were my first chips collected in Lac Vegas.
NO CHIPS SCANS - i gave them all away, to the mother of a current chip collector who is in the Board.
Before I moved to Las Vegas, NV in 2006, every time I visited the city that I look new chip issue I go over to the Holy Redeemer to attend Masses and Novenas, then I would go to the for their new release chip.
The priest in-charge of the gift shop told me that they were told to "stop" making the chips, that they sold to thousands and millions visitors to the church by the LV govt - they priest said - to make them they got to have a " casino license" to sell to public.
Seriously for whatever reason could not justify the LV Govt to do it - on top of all these, the local govt were not "religious" friendly at that time, if Governor Stephen F. Sisolak was the sitting governor this would not happen. The Governor is a "devout and religious man", if he is not in Reno, you will find Gov in "Christ the King Church" and one thing more, he likes me to walk in front of him during Holy Communion and another thing is - he will let you pass with your car if he is walking and stand aside to let you pass him with a "wide grim" in his face.
