I don't use NISs. However, Josh and Andy are -- FAR AND AWAY -- the most helpful people in this hobby. I trust each of them wholeheartedly. as a newcomer to the hobby, I regularly ask them both for advice. I have never been dissappointed in their willingness to answer even the most idiotic question -- intelligently and fairly.

There are a lot of other wonderful people workiong the Vegas scene. Chuck Smorse, Pete and Chantal, too many to mention. And despite the criticism on this board, Rene has always been fair and honest with me. If you are doing business with any of those folks, you are dealing with pros. But if you are new to the hobby and need a NIS in Vegas, I would vote for Andy or Josh. Actually, you should buy two of each chip just so you can have the pleasure of dealing with them both.

As for AC -- I consider myself fortunate to have made friends with Allan McCurdy. With him and his lovely wife in my corner as traders, i don't need a NIS. If you need advice on AC chips -- just follow his posts. He could probably even recommend a good NIS, but I don't want to put him on the spot.
