In my posting of these chips am generally sticking with Vegas first before going to the rest of Nevada, but since this is the only oversized $20 I have from outside of Vegas, I figured I would forget it if I didn't post it now 
.
A great looking chip with the 'scroll' motif, I generally see it sell between $30 and $40 in new condition. A couple of months ago I saw one on eBay sell for well over $100. Although the auction was clearly marked, I wonder if the buyer confused it with the much rarer 7th Issue Caesars Palace Baccarat which, from its description, sounds very similar:
Caesars Tahoe 1st: Green, with 3 brown, 3 black, and 3 peach inserts.
Caesars Palace 7th: Lt. Green, with 3 orange, 3 black, and 3 brown inserts.
Anyway, if anyone has a picture of the 7th issue Caesars referred to above, it would be interesting to compare the two visually. It could be that the buyer got confused with the rarer chip, or perhaps just wanted the chip really really badly.

P.S. A big shout-out for my wife's birthday today-- she turns 30. Since I was 31 to her 26 when we met 4 years ago, it's the first time since I've known her that age-wise we are in the same decade (although mentally she says I'm stuck at 13). Finally I am a cradle robber no more!
