I like this idea. Bring $100. Play $5 blackjack at every casino and stop when you get up $5 profit to get your chip, leave and go to another one. It'd be a great story to tell people if you can say you "earned" your chip from every casino!

friggin waste of time.

Well, I mean, yeah - if you're some random asshole who doesn't care - then yes, it's clearly a waste of time. However, it's something this guy wants to do... So, obviously not a waste of time for him.

I started collecting dollar chips from the craps games years ago. I only collect from the places I have actually played at. I wish I would have started sooner, have been to Reno and Tahoe a couple times but that was before I started collecting. Also missed on keeping some from the places that are gone, such as the Dunes, Hacienda, Landmark..... In spite of missing a lot of places, I think right now I have chips from about 140 casinos. I have some duplicates, mainly from casinos that change their theme or the look of their chips. Paid for most of this one time when I was in Vegas in the middle of a cold streak. Stopped in at the Palms just to play enough to get a couple chips, think I bought in $20 and walked out with 300-400. Would never have played at all if I was not just trying to collect a couple chips.

That would be cool but would take a lot of work. You would waste an entire day in Vegas just going around and getting chips.

Personally I like taking a day and walking the strip going in all the casinos - drop a buck or two in each along the way and it can be quite fun. Lots of fun stuff to see and do that you won't notice if you stay glued to felt all day.

if you're going to do this, it should be done at the cashier right? then you could get one closer to mint condition

Any specific denominations ....ie...5's..1's etc
The vast majority are $1......................probably 100 or so of the $5 and $25 variety and a few $500 and $1000 sportsbook chips.

Agreed. The wife and I were staying at the Wynn last year and walked up to MGM and back down the other side, making small bets for 10-15 minutes at various casinos. Probably the most fun we had while there last time.
