1. Las Vegas Sports World. Just like the chip in this update, but with out the "CBS" across the front. There's a third Sports World chip that has no "CBS" but does have a "Limited Edition" on it. Not bad for a casino that wasn't open very long. They dropped the "CBS" from the name/chips when the TV network by the same name threatened to sue.
2. Stardust old house chip. Just like this chip, but with a couple minor differences. On the older chip, the one I just got, the "Stardust" in the silver inlay is in a standard normal font. The other one had a more "fun" font. Also, instead of "Hotel & Casino" it says "Resort Casino." That and the little designs on the outer circle are slightly different. Instead of the four suits and two dice, it's the four suits with the clubs and spades on twice.
3. Mahoney's Silver Nugget Mike Tyson chip. Limited to 1,000. Old picture of Iron Mike on it with the phrase "One of the Greatest Heavyweight Champions 2001" on it. Kind of cool. But also kind of an odd time to put that chip out. From 2001 on, Mike fought 5 times and lost 3 of them. None of those fights were in Vegas. But he did give Alan a vicious cross in "The Hangover." He's still got it.
4. Horseshoe Cleveland. Just opened. I kind of like the look of this chip (and the Toledo one... when did Ohio get a chip design czar?). The one thing I think is a tad strange on it is it says "Cleveland OH." Not simply Cleveland. I half expected the reverse side to say "Cleveland IO" but it doesn't. Thanks to Carrie for picking this one up for me.
Off to Winnipeg where they have casinos and I'll hopefully add to my collection.
