From Jean-Robert Bellandes' twitter. Not quite a mountain of chips sexy, but 25K and 100K chips are pretty sexy by themselves.

$50K bundles of cash, of course, aren't the least bit sexy at all.

Oh, those old things. They are alright, I guess.

Never knew 100k chips existed.

From everything I have read, 25k was the highest at Bellagio except maybe for specific Baccarat chips.

I can't imagine having a chip worth 25k let alone 100k in my pocket. I would be clutching it like grim death. One time I dropped a 1k on the floor at Commerce and didn't even realize it until a chip runner (who had found it on the floor, went to security, saw on camera that it came from me, and come found me at my table) brought it to me. If that could happen (and I tend not to be careless about my 1k chips) then imagine losing a 100k. Holy balls.

i feel like a 100k chip should look cooler somehow. like maybe some holograms, or larger size, at least some sparkles or something.... although the part where $100,000 is printed on the front is pretty nice, dont get me wrong.

No, just a happy coincidence

.

Anyway, I would pronounce it the way Tracy Jordan does -- Space-man.

By the way, I like your spelling of 30 Rock. It makes me imagine an alternate universe where Tracy Morgan's character is played by Charles S. Dutton.

I am LOVING that one, too, boo boo! Maybe I need to head out west to the Bay 101?! I mean, I am strictly a limit player, and I just sense from the forums that the games are kinda' sweet. I am a total LAG, so I'd love to try the 40 game at the Commerce--unless they are fixed up. That's my one concern...

I wish I could have snapped a pic from the 2/4 game at Comm last night. Guy who looked 18 had about 30-40k sitting in front of him. I saw a hand where pre-flop HJ raised, CO 3-bet and he caps w/ JTs and hits a straight.
