My friends and I are playing craps and blackjack on the Vegas Strip in the next week or two. Hoping to build a decent set from casino $1 chips. Which Vegas casinos have the highest-quality and best-feeling $1 chips?

Lots of nice chips, but harvesting for a set could be time consuming and no guarantee.
Pro tip. Harvest singles/samples, buy racks for sets here

I think Bellagio inlaid $1 is nice, grab them before they’re replaced with hot stamps.

Get the Mirage chips while the casino is still operating.
They are my favorite chips.

I'm partial to Paris, but part of that is their readily available quantity for good prices.

Where are the yellows from? can't imagine they have live quarters.

Those are just relabeled solids from a recent ChipRoom sale. I don't think any casino is LV has live quarters.

But in seriousness, if you are planning to build a set. I would find some options you like and try to get them from PCF. They'll probably cost you less for most then trying to harvest them and in better condition.. but it really depends where you are trying to harvest from.
Best option is places with poker rooms. Even better, ones that have limit games.

How do people go about harvesting? Do the poker rooms just let you take them?

Depends on which casino. There's some threads on here regarding harvesting which will be more helpful than I can be.

I always like Paris, Sahara and Sam's Town. Sahara is a house mold though.
I really love the Resorts World and Aria lineups, and the bonus is both of them have really good poker rooms (though Aria’s is sometimes a little too popular for its own good, much like the Bellagio in that way). Both also have relatively easy opportunity to get “cool” denom chips too - Aria plays pretty fast and loose with their $3 drop chips, and $2s in theory can be found in the mixed limit games at RW.
Circus Circus $1 from the craps tables. @Pippa is also hunting a couple barrels if you can grab some:

As mentioned above do some searching.
You see a decent amount of people with backpacks, or shoulder sling bags in Vegas. Probably the best way to carry them.
You have exchanged money for chips, so I don't think you can get in a lot of trouble there.
Do not take the racks though because then you are stealing casino property.

I just walked out of the Horseshoe poker room with $100 in red 5s and $8 in pink 2s. I just shoved them in my jacket pocket.

Arrest this man, he left the casino with money!
IMO best $1 is sam's town and best $5 is mirage.

Ideally the Casino has a poker room, if not , just walk up to an empty staffed table, ask for $20 in $1 chips. Have a $20 bill and a single in your other hand for tip. Easy and repeat , cash out the bad chips.
Depends on the casino. If there's a poker room you can just buy chips from the cage, makes getting racks a lot easier. No poker room you'll have to buy them from the tables. I play craps occasionally at a nearby casino and have made a habit of just pocketing the $1s I get.
I've walked out with an almost full rack of $25s before. Nobody stopped or asked me what I was doing.
Just go to the poker room if they have one. That's where you are going to be able to buy whatever chips you'd want and so on.
I've also walked into the poker room before with a list of chips that I needed/wanted and showed it to the cage person who helped me out. Tipped them $5-10 and went on with my day.
