Robert...my interpretation of the Moores' post is

a bit different than yours, maybe because it strikes a chord with me. This club may experience an upswing in a few years because of the many current young poker players that may be doing something else in 10 or 15 years from now and happen to see a chip from the 20XX WSOP that they may have played in or poker tournament chips from closed or changed poker rooms that they may have once played in. It is those little connections that may spur someone on to start collecting...it helped me get started. Chips from the Landmark where I spent my first bonus money as we drove into Vegas through a torrential rain in the middle of July 1976. Or Little Caesars where one of my friends & I got propositioned by a young "lady" (metallic blue Trans Am). Then a year later, as the same friend & I approach the same spot laughing about our experience from a year earlier, around the corner up drives the same car, the same lady. Or one of my favorites pieces of Las Vegas history...stepping out of the elevator at the Marina to a line of silverware, plates, glasses, napkins & trays that lead from the elevator door right to my room; then, being awakened early that morning to the sound of those same items (which we stacked neatly & with great effort aginst my friends' door) crashing to the floor when my friends opened their room door. That's Las Vegas history to me... grin (I still can't look at the MGM Grand without my first thought being that somewhere deep inside that green glass shell, stands the old Marina).
