Today we quickly react/look over a clip that I was able to find in a Pawn Stars episode (not too sure how old this episode is, but the Vegas club was still downtown at the time) where someone brought in a Las Vegas Club $5 One Armed Bandit casino chip into the famous gold and silver pawn store. There is only about 7 or 8 of these in the world and they are extremely rare. Going upwards of $3k in price. I know of one for sale right now at Spinettis for $5.5k, you can find it on their website. This was super fun to watch as I love casino chips and the history. The old man even talked about the history of the Vegas club also pointing out that they used to dump the chips into Lake Mead which is true. There's an interview that Mike Spinetti did talking about the foundation chips along with the Lake Mead chips where a skin diver contacted Mike that he had found chips at the bottom of the lake. Although they had turned white, they were real Las Vegas Club chips! Hope you enjoy!
