The world’s largest casino chip and collectibles show will run from June 13 to 15 at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Guests can shop, trade, and evaluate casino collectibles from around the world. Casino memorabilia will be displayed in booths from iconic and defunct casinos — including the Tropicana Las Vegas, which closed its doors for the last time earlier this year.

The event is hosted by the Casino Collectibles Association, a nonprofit that preserves gaming history in collaboration with members worldwide.

“If you have old chips at home, lying around in a drawer or in the attic, feel free to bring them down to the show,” said the nonprofit’s president David Spragg. “You get a free appraisal You could be very surprised. Some of the most valuable chips known have been found in that manner.”

Show registration and admission is open to the public June 13, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. (admission $10), June 14, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. (admission $5) and June 15, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. (admission is free). Location is Exhibit Hall C at the South Point Hotel Casino.
