Tiki Club - Reno - Private Club or Fantasy?

Here's link to Tiki Club (Reno, NV) on MoGH/ChipGuide --
http://chipguide.themogh.org/cg_chip2.php?id=NVRET2&v=3569220981

2 H&C chips: 25c and $5. Nice looking with inlays. Pics here, for viewing convenience:

ChipGuide lists them as "Dining & Entertainment" while TCR lists them in the back of the book as "Private Social Club". No street address on either listing; only a vague opening date of "1980's" / now closed.

The ChipGuide posting date is not until 2016, and that Paulson mold looks like it belongs in that era, not the 1980's. The few Tiki Club chips I've seen all seem to be new/almost-new.

My question: I thought these were just a fantasy chips that someone had made by Paulson? I guess it could have been a private social club (unlicensed?) operating somewhere in the Reno area?

Any knowledge / opinions about them? Inquiring minds want to know! grin
