This is my annual request to see if anyone has ideas about where to pick up chips for my collection when I am in Las Vegas in the summer. I can't get to the convention (it is always held in school term time for us) and so I do try and visit a few shops when I am in town that sell chips.
I always visit Spinetti's and come away with some nice chips, although finding something I need is getting harder and harder.
I also always visit Highland Collectibles, but Frank the owner said last year that his better chips are kept in storage for shows and conventions and not usually in the store (I have emailed directly though)
Then there is Rich Burgel's store which in the past has been interesting to visit but hasn't turned up much that I needed, but the recent discussions on this board have also been quite negative and so not sure I would visit again.
I have also over the years occasionally come across some of the small antiques malls that have a few chips in them but so far nothing that I have found for my collection.
If anyone does know of any other shops that sell chips (maybe coin shops that have a few casino chips as well?) I would appreciate knowing, as I am sure would other collections who come to Las Vegas occasionally.
Thanks in advance for any advice & info.
Jason
