Also on display will be the current Guinness World Record of the largest private personal collection of casino chips and gaming tokens from different casinos – 2,222 items – achieved by Las Vegas resident and SNCCC member Gregg Fisher.

“Show visitors will see so many examples of what Vegas used to be like when comps were king, and casinos branded everything in sight. They wanted their customers to take home these special items as valued reminders of the great time they had. Now so many are hard to find. The SNCCC is a club with over 200 members who love to collect casino souvenirs, and also love to share these artifacts and the stories behind them. We are very proud to be hosting our first show, and invite everyone to attend and, if interested, join the fun of our club and attend our free monthly meetings,” said Jerry Vergatos, club president.

Plans are in the works to have several celebrities on hand for a meet and greet session, as well as an auction of collectible casino chips.
