Year of the Dragon . . .

January 23rd is the Chinese New Year, and we are heading into the Year of the Dragon. You guessed it, I will be 36 . . . *cough* *cough*

In previous years, I have seen posts hereabouts re: commemorative chips. Should any Forum members happen to be in Vegas on or near the Chinese New Year, I would appreciate it if you could pick up a few of the nicer ones for me. What constitutes "nice" I will leave to your discretion, I would be looking for 2-4 max. and obv. would pay you back (or even ahead of time, if needed). Obviously, it would help if you were reasonably close to Brampton.

Can anybody help me out with this?

    I got a bunch of rabbit ones last year. They are typically in $8 denominations since 8 is consider a lucky number in the Chinese heritage. I was lucky to get most of mine through a friend that was there, but there were a couple I had to get off eBay/other sites.

    The sites that does this and they typically charge $12-$15 for a $8 chip. I know it is a significant markup but I've heard that they're typically gone relatively fast so it might not be a bad idea.

  • I need one from the Wynn. They are among the easiest to get. Ask at any cage. Thanks.
  • Greg . . . thanks.

    Please don't forget.

    Chippies coming soon!

    Hard Rock is out and Palms comes out Monday.
  • Any luck with getting any of these?

    Yes, we have. I got 2 each from Wynn, Caesars and Flamingo. Ash has a Wynn and caesars locked down, Wes a Flamingo.

    So right now I have an extra of each. I think Greg has 3 Wynn and 3 Caesars but Wes has one of those spoken for.
  • I would like the Wynn + (Caesars or Flamingo). Thanks.
  • I'll take your extras . . . can meet you at the Hill tonight.
  • I'll take one, doesn't matter which casino.
  • *cough* thread starter here *cough* lolz

    No pic of the Flamingo chip?

    yea u got it. The Flamingo chips are exactly the same as the Caesars chip with the exception of the flipside inlay. I think all Harrahs are the same.

    Pretty sure that Moose and Wes are confirmed for Gregs, he may have a couple extras.

    The oversize Wynn Baccarat chips are realllly nice.
  • nvm Meet at the Hill?

    Yeah..I'll take one of each from Greg.

    With the oversized inlay, there is not much "gold" to be seen . . . the baccarat chip from the Wynn is easily the class of the field. Thx for the "get", Wetts.
  • If anyone is going to Buzzardds next Sat, please send the chips along and I'll get them there.

    Thanks.
