Including: Chinese New Year... the Casinorama chip show... some Pinball Wizardry...
and Goodbye to the Hard Rock!

I got into town Wednesday morning and set off in search of Year of the Rat chips -
found these two: $25 Venetian and $25 Cosmopolitan

Next I headed down to Fremont Street to check out the Circa construction... the building
is going up fast and looks to be a spectacular addition to downtown... also the Resorts World
tower on the Strip is moving right along

Dropped by Gold & Silver Pawn just for grins - found two pieces of art I wouldn't mind
owning, a Disney and a Picasso

Thursday it was time to say goodbye to the Hard Rock which closes tonight

After lunch I visited the Pinball Hall of Fame on Tropicana

Friday was Casinorama all day at Arizona Charlie's Decatur

Chip scans in part two coming up next!
