Geocache Description:

Here's a little puzzle cache to introduce you to my other hobby. The cache IS NOT at the co-ords shown. To find the true co-ords, you must decipher my puzzle. If needed, feel free to replace a full log with an appropriate size piece of paper- Thanks

I started collecting Las Vegas casino chips in about 1999. Since then I have built up to having somewhere around 460 chips from just the Vegas area that date back to 1936. I found they are in themselves small artworks, collected from each hotel, and each one represents a moment in time historically. The puzzle at hand for you to find the cache is this: Each chip, or more specifically the Las Vegas Strip casino that its from, has a meaning. There are 15 numbers in the co-ords of a Las Vegas area Geocache- N xx xx.xxx W xxx xx.xxx Study the vintage chips in the picture, find the meaning of each chip numbered 1-15, then place that number one by one until you have the co-ords of the cache. 1st chip in place of the 1st x, 2nd in place of 2nd etc. (Not the number of the chip in the picture, but its meaning) Since you are new to this, I will give you the names of the casinos, just in case you cant read them on the chips in the pic. 1- Flamingo 2- Silver Slipper 3- El Rancho Vegas 4- Last Frontier 5- Royal Nevada 6- Last Frontier 7- Thunderbird 8- El Rancho Vegas 9- El Rancho Vegas 10- Desert Inn 11- El Rancho Vegas 12- Last Frontier 13- Sahara 14- Royal Nevada 15- Silver Slipper The difficulty shown is for the cache itself, not the puzzle. Cache is log only, bring your own pen, with plenty of parking.
