Those chips never really made me go WOW. I remember when we first got some of the $1s, they were alright to me. Then, I got my hands on one of the $4s. At that time they were going for well over $150 per chip, I think I maybe paid $10 from a friend. It was cool having a "rare" chip at the time, but it doesn't excite me too much tbh.
Played at Sahara once for a friend's tournament, didn't cash, but also wasn't the first to get knocked out so I was happy. It's an alright space, small and in the back corner so I can see why it's closing to make more room for slot machines.
