Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that as of last night I am a proud new member of the CC>CC!!! A little information about me:

My name is Dan Cooley. I am 25 years old and live in Pine City, MN. I am fascinated and obbsessed with Las Vegas and have been for as long as I can remember. Since I turned 21 I have made it out to Las Vegas 3 times and before I turned 21 I have been out their about 10 more times. I love everything about the city but mostly the hotels, casinos, the history, and most of all the poker chips! On my last 2 trips I decided to buy a $1 poker chip from all of the casinos that I visited as a keepsake and as time has passed I find myself looking at those chips all of the time and I have finally decided that I want to make this a hobby and expand my collection. Due to a lack of funds my collection won't grow quickly but I plan to add to it little by little. As of right now I have around 40 chips and they are all very common but I can't wait to add some from casinos that are no longer around or just chips that are obsolete. To begin with I will mostly be collecting only Las Vegas area chips but in the future it very easily could expand to other areas as well. Well thats a little bit about me and I can't wait to learn and meet more about all of you. I also want to say a big THANK YOU to a couple people who have offered to send me a couple chips to help expand my collection. It is always very much appreciated and unexpected. Thanks to everyone of you.
