Don, the two newsletters I referred to in the Club history page were Bill Borland's Worldwide Casino Exchange newsletter and Al Moe's newsletter, focusing on Lake Tahoe, but also including articles about Las Vegas casinos. I can't recall the name of Al Moe's newsletter, but I believe it was his mailing list that Archie took over when Al decided to stop publishing.
Both were substantially earlier than Doug Saito's "Chip Chat."
