 Las Vegas Poker chips September 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We bought this set for our son who is becoming quite the card shark! He loves to play poker with his college buddies and the regular size case just didn't have enough chips for all of them to play. He is very happy with this set & will be taking it with him when he goes back to college this week. We can only hope he will win enough to pay his way through the next 3 years !
This is a high quality set and the price was a steal!

If you are considering buying this set then it immediately rules out that you are after top of the line chips like Paulsons or Chipco that cost over a dollar per chip. You want a decent chip without paying a lot of money. Well, on that front this set really delivers. You will never confuse their looks, feel, or sound with top quality chips, but you will also find these chips perform well above just about any of the metal insert ABS chips and nearly equal to most other home game chips.
Size: These chips are slightly undersized (38mm?) in diameter compared to most 39mm poker chips; noticeable to many hard core players, but easy to get over.
Weight: At 9 grams, these are lighter chips than most home sets, but much closer to real poker chips. I actually prefer this weight.
Sound: No 'clink' like a metal insert chip (yeah!). More of a deeper sounding 'clack' on par with some clay chips; not as high of a 'click' as with other clay chips. Overall sound is good.
Sticker: If you do not mind the cartoonish styling and want chips with denominations, this makes a good set. The double-sided glossy stickers are adhered very good (although some glue squeeze-out occurred between some chips in their wrapper). Also, they do not have dollar signs or decimal points so you can use them for larger games if you like (100 = $100,000, 5 = $5,000, etc.)
Chip Handling/Tricks: The chips stack very well. You can move a stack of 25 easily around the table without them falling. I would not consider their stacking edges 'slippery' like many other home chips. For tricks however the glossy sticker is slippery and is a detriment by making it more difficult to hold and control them during cutting, shuffling and other tricks. They do not have that annoying rubbery bounce like some other chips.
Clones: Note that there are many "Welcome to Las Vegas" look-a-like chips like these (with 4, 6, and 8 double edge stripes). I am not sure if anyone of them is considered the 'original' design or not. Regardless, these chips with 6 sets of double edge stripes are quite nice. They also have one diamond edge spot on the rim between each set of stripes. I prefer these chips over the 8 double stripe variety samples I've seen. I have not sampled the 4 double stripe variety.
Case: The case is adequate, but I do not trust the latches to hold a full case of chips in an upright state. I carry and store it flat (horizontally).
Bottom Line: Great value in a home set. Chips and Games was a good vendor to deal with. Shipped same day. Order some additional 50 roll chips for $2 (available here at Amazon) at the same time to dilute the shipping costs and build your set even bigger.
Nice purchase at a Great price August 14, 2008
I know that they make better chips for hundreds more but, for the price and quality you just can't beat it. My friends and family enjoy them as well.
Lots of chips for a great price August 9, 2008

After opening these chips, some of them had a tendency to stick together. Also a friend of mine said they were not the standard size of chips because they were too light(9.5g) and not wide enough.
From wiki, there is no official weight that chips must weigh, and they can range from 8.5g-10g and are usually no larger.
This is a good buy for a home tournament.

Most poker chip are pretty much the same....whatever!
These VEGAS Themed chips only add to the poker experience and give everyone playing something to talk about. I have received so many compliments on these chips and the price is untouchable!
I can not imagine there is a better deal out there for poker chips and especially unique chips such as these! Don't debate this one....just purchase them!
