1. Mandalay Bay - Rahman/Lewis November 17, 2001. Limited to 2,500. You might remember the $25 version of this chip from this post. I had no idea there was a $5 version until I saw it in a display case. It took me roughly .2 seconds to decide to buy it. This was the rematch which Lewis won, meaning we had a new heavyweight champion who was NOT from the United States. Fans of Jim Lampley will know what I am talking about.
2. Luxor - Anubis. The Luxor had three chips out at once that had a mythological theme. I had Egyptian Queen one already, 19th one down here. This one is Anubis, which is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with the afterlife in Egyptian religion. That makes one want to gamble, no?
3. Luxor - Sphinx. The final of the three, this one is designed to look like the entrance of the Luxor.
4. Binion's Horseshoe Club - Stu "The Kid" Unger. I think they spelled his name wrong, as everyone else goes with "Ungar." A three time winner of the World Series of Poker's Main Event, Ungar had a book written about his life by Nolan Dalla that I thought was really good.
5. Planet Hollywood - Grand Opening November 16 & 17, 2007. Limited to 3,000. A two day opening event! That must've been quite a party. #sarcasm
6. Monte Carlo - Happy New Year 2005. I'll collect just about any Monte Carlo chip that doesn't have Frank Caliendo on it.
7. Silver Sevens. Former Terrible's Casino, just off the strip.
8. Silver Sevens - Grand Opening. Opened in 2013. Wonder how long it'll stay Silver Sevens?
