Q: I have a couple of hundred players club cards from casinos
in Vegas and all of Mississippi that are either current,
imploded, or washed away. Are there any collectors you know
of who put a value on them? Or are they trash?

Pretty good guestion.

My best old cards, I guess, are the old punch card style ones from the
Pioneer, which was the first Nevada casino to issue them.

I wonder about sequence of cards with the same number? Or maybe ones with a
low slot club number? I also have been issued plain white ones when they were
out of blanks. How about my Gold/Platinum/Diamond cards, along with the
version Harrahs used before TR II?

For casino hotel keys Don Laughlin's Riverside hits you up for two bucks if
you don't return them. They actually hit my CC for $2.

Amazing. Perfect reason for me NOT to stay there next month on our trip to Laughlin. I ALWAYS take the hotel plastic room key home with me as a souvenir. Have them from all other the world and have never been charged.

This was a great question as I've been collecting them for years, despite verbal abuse by spouse and friends <G>

Another good reason to take your room key with you is
for security. I read somewhere (maybe on this forum)
that your personal information (address, credit card
number, etc.) is on the strip on back of the room card
and remains there until the front desk person clears
it and gives to another patron.

Wow! More information than I ever wanted to know, but, after skimming through the
reference article, a person should be able to feel safe, knowing that this really is another
of the many, many urban mysths circulating.

Thanks for the info.
