Yes, but I'd recommend cherry picking good chips.
That is to say, if you load up 6-7 racks and try to walk out the front door, you might get some odd looks or worse. But that's what backpacks are for--plus, just do it a rack or so at a time.

Where's the French guy that had the full live Bellagio(?) set?

He's right above you. Or at least his chips are.
I had like 400 singles, 1200 $5s and a couple barrels of $25s from Cleveland Horseshoe when they were live. Back when they opened I was going every other weekend and just got into the habit of taking chips back and forth instead of going to the cage before and after playing. Time saver and was fun to have them at home.
Yeah, I think the casino isn't going to complain too much. As long as you're buying $5 and above they're making out.
Take that 1500 chip Bellagio set. Cost Bellagio...maybe $2,200-$2,500 to have GPI make. Got paid by the "french guy"..face value is $9,375.
I think Bellagio made out in this transaction.

The French guy. Seriously. How in the... ?!?!?
The great thing about doing it is when you decide you no longer like/want the set there is no hassle in selling it, just take it back to the casino. And no fear of chip security!

Anyone know the base colors of the bellagio $5 and $20? So awesome.
Pretty sure the $20 is arc yellow
I've gotten out of a casino with 900 chips in one day. I did split it up between two cages and 3 different transactions though. Much easier in casinos with a poker room, bring a backpack.

Make sure you trust the people you play with. If i hosted a game with live chips i bet chips would go missing
If you're playing the game at face cash value this shouldn't matter, they paid the same amount you did for them. Just have some extras on hand for when/if they go missing like any other sets.

Ya just have to keep an eye on chips not in play
I wouldn't have that problem. If people other then the regulars were going to play I might use different chips.
And keep some extra cash on hand in case some players decide to bring chips to play instead of cash if you are using a local casinos chips.
I've definitely never seen 7 racks of quarters in the same place

Those are his CPC (ASM?) custom add-on.
Thanks. That explains a lot

I'm intrigued! I thought CPC had a policy not to use real/active casino names on chips. How did he pull that off?
My best guess would be that he could have bought the chips blank and had them stamped by a 3rd party, but I didn't even know these chips existed until today so I'm about as uneducated as you can be about these particular chips.
Pretty awesome set though!

Kadrik I believe. I also seem to remember somebody pissed him off and he bailed on posting more pics.

I think this is correct. He did these back when you couldn't get factory stamping, but there were a couple active stampers in Europe.
I found the pictures of when I took the live set from the Horseshoe in northern Indiana back...the cashier gave me the weirdest look when I told her we bought them and took them home to play poker with.

Just think what you could have sold those for today...
