One tip, don't buy the round-trip fare, just one way so you don't have to wait for a cabbie who might take longer than you want to wait to pick you up. Fare to go with the group is about $4 each way. Can catch them just outside the gate or you can join a group as you walk toward the port gate. There are plenty of vans as well at the casino for return trip. Remember, there are still older Paradise Casino chips still on the tables. Two places where you will surely find them is go to the crap tables. They usually have them on the back rows and they stand out. Drop your money on the table and tell the stickman where the chip is located. Or, the casino has one of those big wheels where you bet a dollar on the wheel. I saw plenty of the older chips there over Thanksgiving. Don't try to go the new casino -- it's nowhere near ready to open and construction is behind schedule. If you need chips at Cable Beach -- the table games don't open during daylight hours and I would not advise going there after dark. Anyway, their chips are worn and in horrible condition. Remember to be safe as you travel the city. If you collect Harley-Davidson chips, there is a store only three blocks from the port's entrance gate -- on the same street.
