2nd floor of the Hamilton Hotel shopping arcade-- there's a small smoke shop/playing card booth that has them-- Not sure of prices, as most things come from the base (so not cheap-- if the smokes are any indication), but they'll be of better quality, I think.

I've got 70 bucks for a nice set of poker chips.

What is the quality like at the Hamilton? What weight are the chips, if anyone knows?

Game on..

It's not the gaming store I was hoping for but they had two sizes of chip set, 200 and 300.

200 is 75k, 300 is 90k. I picked up the 300 set.

Quality is ok with chips being 11.5 gram. There was no dealer puck so I had to demand one from another set. Check you get a dealer button. No small or big blind pucks in any set. Still, they're not really needed.

Poker sets and Bicycle playing cards is about all the gaming stuff I saw.

She had a great selection of cigars. I didn't ask prices (I've got 400 stashed already from CI). The humidification of the stored cigars seemed non-existant...

I'm tickled pink with my chips, now if I can only get my wife to let me use them ^^
