Just back from a week and a half in Las Vegas. It was a little cool there but,not as cold as here.

Went to Rene's show a week ago Fri. This being my first show attended,I had nothing to compare it to but,was impressed. Put names and faces together of a few people,which was one of my objectives.

Hit the Fiesta show last Fri. Seemed to be a few more dealers here.Again,I was impressed. All of the dealers were very friendly and helpful in relieving me of some of my cash.

Picked up a lot of "stuff" from the casinos.The "thingies" below,slot cards,all kinds of "stuff". I'll trade this "stuff",cheap,for some chips. Email me if interested.

The strike machines were really nice to me. Came back with a few of these I'll trade also.

All in all, it was a great trip. A big thanks to Rene and Bill and all of the chip show dealers.

P.S. I think I have a prospective new chip collector. I took my friend along to the shows. After looking around for a while she said,"wooo,I like that one,oh,and that one and mayby that one." Me thinks she's hooked.

Later.....Rick
