Over the years one of my favorite destinations has always been Las Vegas. There is just so much to do day or night even if you don't gamble. There are so many shows and attractions everywhere you look. I remember when I was younger staying in Vegas was not all that expensive, but times sure have changed. You can get into some of the less expensive places for around $100 US a night, but the high end places start at $400+ US a night. Getting way too rich for my blood!
On one trip I stayed at The Venetian Hotel which is one of the higher end places on the strip. I travelled with some friends and got we an incredible deal. It truly is an amazing place, spacious and luxurious rooms and very comfortable. The only problem is you don't want to eat there if you can avoid it because the restaurants were way overpriced! Even the casino was expensive, the minimum bet to play blackjack was $25. So great place to stay if you are stinking rich!
I picked up a souvenir token while I was there, but not in one of the gift shops (expensive.) I got it at a pawn shop off of the strip and the prices there were much more reasonable! It caught my eye because it was a millennium edition and also had the Doge's Palace on the reverse. The Doge's Palace is a beautiful building in Venice, Italy for those not familiar with it. I love to collect these silver tokens because they are most importantly silver. Plus some gain high premiums over time especially if they were very limited runs. Some of these tokens from the 1950's or 60's are pretty expensive. Take a look!

About the token:
Edition: Millennium Edition
Silver: 99.9% fine silver
Casino: The Venetian, Las Vegas, Nevada, US
Weight: About 0.6 troy ounces
These are just so much fun to collect! Once you get hooked you start buying more and more... Most casino's produce their own varieties so there's almost no way you could ever collect them all. So next time you are in Las Vegas make sure to pick up a few of these to keep as souvenirs.
The #silvergoldstackers have an upcoming raffle open to everyone for the chance to win some very cool silver prizes. I believe there is more than 44 ounces of silver prizes already in the pot! Make sure to follow @buggedout to keep up with the details!
