This prize has been added to the contest:

The combined prize is:

Today's snipet clue consists of two snipets from the same photo.

Earlier today I disclosed that this place is located within a currently operating, casino/hotel property.

I will add this clue...

At under $50,000 per night, this place of Nobility is fit for a King!

Remember the 24-hour rule!

Here then is the re-cap from from Days 2 and 1...

Day 2...

I have now expanded this contest to ChipTalk.net members. So I Welcome any of them to thechipboard.com.

I have added a second chip to the prize. Just as the chip quantity has esculated, so has the denomination. Here is then is the prize pool!

Here also is a second snipet of a second photograph. Unlike the earlier snipet, this is a ceiling shot!

For those who have already provided an answer, please remeber your 24-hour waiting rule. In the event that you post a correct answer, but it is before your time expires, I will be posting a message that the answer is wrong.

Here is a composite listing of all clues given thus far:

Here are additional clues that have been given during the past 24-hours:

This place is unique and the answer MUST make it perfectly clear where it is by including what it is.

Saying this place is inside a casino is the same as saying it is in "Las Vegas". Your answer will not be correct because the answer is not specific enough.

For the monetary amount required, I do not consider it to be a sweet deal.

And here then is the text of the Day 1 announcement of the contest:

While in Las Vegas from Christmas to New Year's Day, a friend was pleased to show me some photos taken in Las Vegas while attending a formal event just prior to Christmas.

This contest is based on identifying the location of the event, not the event. To start off with, I have included a snipet of one of three different photos.

I plan to post a new snipet each evening until the location is correctly and appropriately identified. For each day that passes, without a correct answer, I will add an additional prize.

The contest will be open to all readers of The Chip Board and if the contest goes into a day two, I will also open it to the members of ChipTalk.net, as a concurrent contest.

The prize(s) offered will not, by design, have anything to do with the location. And yes, there is a catch.......

In an effort to avoid being bombarded by a flurry of guesses, a participant can only give one answer (guess) on a given day, and MUST then wait 24 hours before getting the chance to give another answer (guess). This 24 hour waiting period will be allowed to repeat.

So, be sure to answer wisely.

The first correct answer submitted will stand as the sole winner. I will be using the system clock here on thechipboard to determine who answers first and I will be the sole individual to make that determination.

So, here is the first snipet clue:

And here is the first prize item:

Lets have some fun....
