I never saved any $1 chips (plus I'm only a tournament player, too), but the casinos I did play in are:
...first played at in chronological order...
-Flamingo casino, Las Vegas, NV
-Imperial Palace casino, Las Vegas, NV
-Paris casino, Las Vegas, NV
-Majestic Star casino, Gary, IN (home casino)
-Sahara casino, Las Vegas, NV
-Treasure Island casino, Las Vegas, NV
-Planet Hollywood casino, Las Vegas, NV
-Horseshoe Hammond casino, Hammond, IN (2nd home casino)
I love going to Vegas, but the tournaments at Horseshoe Hammond and Majestic Star in Indiana are enough to curb my appetite.
