!! WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !! WARNING !!
Fantasy chips are not made by or for a casino, although they may appear otherwise. Fantasy chips are made by independent 3rd parties as either counterfeits, fakes or souvenirs. Fantasy chips are included on the ChipGuide to alert collectors that they are not casino chips and to advise you to proceed with caution. Purchasing fantasy chips, especially those that appear to be real casino chips, may lead to fraudulent sales when your collection is disbursed and encourages their continued production.

Brilliantly-shiny key fob (chrome?), about 1-1/2" diameter. Shows 1-story building - and reads Hotel Sahara / Las Vegas, Nev. Attached by a thin chain is a horseshoe. Reverse side of medallion shows Sphinx, scimitar and star. Not sure how any keys could be connected to this, unless by a separate chain threaded through the fob.
