Yes tropicanas are great. there are a few of us here that have a set. You can always put out a want ad for what you are looking for. I love my set although since there are no fracs you have to get some made which is easy when you get with @Gear. Best label replacement person in the business!

Here is my trop set (looks like I need some new pics since it has grown by a couple hundred chips! another rack of ones and fives!)

Gorgeous!
How long did it take you to collect a few racks of $1's?
 
So, are there a lot of copies/fakes? How about members on here taking advantage of rookies like me?

You can search any chip name you want in the search field and you should be able to see what they have recently sold for. The more rare chips will be difficult to find but that's always a good way to make sure someone isn't taking advantage of you. Plus everyone on here is awesome any way. You shouldn't have any problems.
 
Preferences: Very recognizable casino, prefer (not mandatory) 60s 70s good old days of vegas.

Easier to start your quest if you can throw a few names out you are familiar with. If your dad was a dealer sounds like maybe you should know a few.
 
Getting taken advantage of is not something likely to happen here. The market is too small and all the long-timers and big-players know each other.

Don't know what size your game is to determine quantities, but I do have at least a couple racks of everything I think (chips are in my safe at work!). Been collecting them for a decade.
 
I suggest getting some sample sets first and seeing what you like and what's available in quantity.

There aren't many name recognizable Vegas sets out there with fracs through $100s available. In fact, I can't even think of a single one off the top of my head.

Live chips might be your best option

I play weekly (sometimes weakly) at the hard rock in tampa. It's funny, I never really pay attention to the chips other than their cash value. So what are they made out of and who makes them?
 
If you like the Aviation Jetons, these are similar and can be had in quantity. Made by Modiano.

Oh, drilled, not those either.. but till interested in the rest
 
I think customs would be a good route for you. Choose your demons, colors, designs, ect...shit, you could do whatever you want.

Posting some pics because a thread about chips, well..... needs pics.

have a "thing" about known casino names
Quickest way to get a meaningful answer is for you to identify and list your 'known' or 'very recognizable' casino names. My list of known and/or recognizable casinos is likely a lot different than yours.... and also apparently irrelevant to the conversation. Give us a starting point, along with the specific denominations and quantities your dream set will require.

Sets from closed Vegas casino are pretty rare, since they are required by state law to destroy the chips. Vegas sets in mint/near-mint condition are even more rare. Short of buying live chips at face value directly from a casino that is currently open, it's pretty unlikely (nearly impossible, in fact) that you'll find a 'name' Vegas casino set that meets your listed requirements.

Sounds like a custom set tribute to a known casino may be your best bet.
