Another April Update

Busy month here at blog headquarters (live from DeWitt!) as I added another 4 chips to the collection.  My parents drove out to Tucson for a couple of weeks in March (joke's on them - there's still snow in the UP now that they've returned) to visit my Aunt and Uncle, past contributors to the blog.  The chips:

1.  Hard Rock - Tulsa.  My mom and dad got this one on their drive back, stopping here to hit the Toby Keith restaurant.  I've been past it a handful of times, but never during a time when I had an opportunity to run and grab a chip.  So I'll probably have hours of time to kill the next time I'm in Tulsa and no chip to collect.  Also, you've probably been in Tulsa and felt the locals there feel all high and mighty because they have a Toby Keith restaurant and the un-cultured town you live in does not.  Well Tulsans, cross Lansing off your list of places you are better than.  The Lansing Mall is getting a Toby Keith eatery as well.  Boom.

2.  Desert Diamond Casino - Tucson.  One of two Desert Diamond locations in Arizona, with the other being in Sahuarita.

3.  Casino of the Sun - Tucson.  Pretty cool looking chip, as the reverse side says "Casino Del Sol."  Which, if my variety packs of Mexican beer from Sam's Club has taught me anything, means Casino of the Sun.

4.  Gila River Casinos.   There are three properties under the Gila River name; Lone Butte, Vee Quiva and Wild Horse Pass.  There are no Mexican beers that I know of that contain Vee or Quiva in their names, so I have no idea what that stands for.
