  • Any way for me not be carded 15 times a session at the casino?

    I don't try to dance around the fact I look young. Like really young. Generally strangers think I look around 16 years old. This is good and bad. Bad because I get little respect sometimes, and good because shit when I am 35 I can only hope I look 20

    Often times when I go to Casinos in California or WA I just walk right up the security booth so they can check my id and give me a stamp or a wristband that indicates I am over 21 and makes it much easier.

    In the past in Vegas I have just dealt with being carded 15 fucking times an hour by some people who don't have any manners. (Typically Casino security, who I respect until they grab me by the arm without saying a word, are not the nicest.)

    My question is has anyone found a way to show your ID only once?

    Pretty sure you can do the same at the nicer casinos like venetian/palazzo. walk up to security booth and ask them for a wristband so you don't get carded 10x while you're trying to play your game or slots.

      I say live with it. haha. It seems like a bitch now but its a simple inconvenience that is really priceless.

      When I got my tux for the wedding at 27, the place thought I was going to the Prom. When I used to drive around in my BMW, old people would ask if I got it for my HS graduation and I was 28-29 at the time.
      Now at 36, some lady told me I looked too young to have a 7 and 4y.o daughters.

      Now at Vegas, I dont get carded of course but the early 20s chicks dont really think I'm that old so its working out ok. haha.

        Same thing happens to me every trip starting with TSA at the airport. Must have the "wow you look 16!" "yeah it will help me when im old!" convo about 20 times. I think you can just go to the Casino security booth and they check your ID and give you a wristband to wear.

        One time I made a sports bet, got ID'd, and was sitting at the Mandalay Bay SB for about 30 minutes not even drinking then this manager guy comes out and asks for my ID again just to make sure.

          Go to the casino's security office for a wristband. You'll need to fill out a form and show ID.

            Happens to me, too. A gift and a curse I suppose. If I plan on remaining in a particular casino, I'll go for the wristband. If not, I lay the ID down along with my cash upon arrival to the table(s).

            In my personal view, it's not *that* big of a deal, but it would definitely anger me if someone grabbed my arm without my consent.

            Which casinos did you encounter "aggressive" security?

              I just always have my player's card, ID and cash ready to go as I approach a table and give it all at once. It is better to just assume you will be carded then waiting to be asked.
