Just starting this thread for Bally's sets (doesn't have to be Vegas, mixed sets welcome).
Post your pics/share your info
1986 Las Vegas $1s - 11.2g (fully leaded
)
1999 Las Vegas $5s - ~9.4g original version (probably slightly leaded) / ~9g newer version (lead free)
(dates are from the ChipGuide)
At some point the Radiant Red with Mint Green and Canary Yellow edgespots $5 was changed (most likely subsequent runs after Paulson had moved to lead free chips and different colors).
The original 1999 Bally's LV $5 had the original Radiant Red base (like Bourbon Street $5s) with Canary Yellow and Mint Green edgespots.
The newer version (it is possible there are more than one newer version) used the updated paler Radiant Red and changed the Canary Yellow edgespots to Yellow. The Mint Green edgespot is also the slightly lighter/newer version of Mint Green (matched to Empress Star Secondary T25k edgespot)
Below pictures show a fairly accurate color representation (unaltered snowy day natural sunlight) and difference in colors.
Other noticeable differences on the newer version vs the original 1999 $5 version:
LAS VEGAS, NEV. is a smaller font size
The $5 denomination is a bit larger and appears to be slightly darker than the original (Spinal Tap level black).
