Mid-April Update

Handful of new chips to add to the collection;

1. Aladdin - Planet Hollywood Coming 2006 chip.

2. Hard Rock - 11/11/11. Normally I don't like chips that just commemorate dates, but for whatever reason I kind of liked the triple 11.

3. Palms - 10th Anniversary. Cool looking chip, has the Palms towers on one side and the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada" sign on the other.

4. Westward Ho - Puttin' On The Ritz. The Ho had three preferred customer chips; this one, the next one on the list, and the Grubstake Jamboree chip. These were apparently regular events and according to Wiki, the parties helped make the Ho semi-famous. But apparently not profitable, as it closed in 2005.

5. Westward Ho - Ho-Waiian Luau. See above.

6. Silverton - Get Your Grove On. This is a casino in North Las Vegas. I don't understand the slogan and am not entirely sure they didn't misspell "groove."

7. Western - House. The Western closed earlier this year and I believe this gives me all three of their house chips. I also think it kind of looks like the Westward Ho's "The Ho" chip - which is one of my all-time favorites.
