Thanks for your 'welcomes' everyone. Nice to be here.

When I first started collecting, as I'm sure most of you did, I tried to collect EVERYTHING. It didn't take me too long to realize that there was no way I could afford the way things were going. Way too many chips. That being said, I 'refined' my collecting and am trying to limit to the following...

- $1 rack chips from every casino on the Las Vegas Strip.... from South Point to the Stratosphere. (completed) These I picked up in person, and was lucky enough to get a couple before they closed.... Westward Ho, Sahara, New Frontier and Stardust. Still bummed about the Stardust. )-:

- $1 rack chips from all the downtown casinos. There again, I picked up all of these in person.

- $1 Thunderbird 'casino host' chips

- $5 Hardrock 'Fairway To Heaven' chips

- All denomination Las Vegas CIC chips

- $5 Las Vegas Halloween chips

- $5 Nevada Y2K Millennium chips

- $1 chips from all the local/area casinos that we've visited

- Any Toledo, Ohio illegals that I come across

- Various and sundry old Vegas chips

- Old Las Vegas Post Cards

Whew, I guess I *am* trying to collect everything!
