I always laugh when people dont have their id on them. 22 year olds who wan tot go into bars or purchase alcohol. People on cars lots looking to buy and you ask them for dl and they forgot it at home. nevermind they drove without it.

I suspect if he had failed to sign the document the casino would be even more annoyed at him. Cooperating with your 86'ing probably makes it more likely that you'll be able to get it lifted later. Telling 'em to kiss your hairy heiny when asked to play along strikes me as unlikely to be viewed as a plus.

Obviously you do need ID in certain cases if you want to participate in certain activities. You have nobody but yourself to blame if you go to buy booze, see an R-rated movie, visit a casino, rent a car, fly a plane, use a credit card, blahblahblah and you don't have ID. But "real legal troubles?" Like... what? There aren't any laws I know of that require you have ID with you at all times.

In NV, there is a statute that says you have to have a DL with you at all times when operating a motor vehicle. But it also says there is no penalty for not having it if you can later produce it. So no, you don't actually have to have it with you at all times, but it can inconvenience you if you don't.

If you absolutely want to get back in the casino, a face to face meeting is the best way to go. If a contrite apology isn't enough offer to go to an anger management class and bring back proof of completion.

That's similar to NV's law, but NV doesn't have the three strikes provision and also says you can just show your license to "the office of the arresting officer". Kinder and gentler than Cali. Yes, you should have it with you when you drive, but if you forget your wallet and get pulled over on the way to get the kids at school it won't be life-shattering (in Nevada--YMMV in other states).

The point is that there is absolutely no legal requirement that you carry ID at all times when you leave the house, as was implied above.

On the other hand, I've seen 60-year-olds refused access to play poker because they couldn't produce ID. So if you're going to a casino, yes, just assume you will need ID and if you ain't got it when you get there, it's your problem, not the casino's and most definitely not the fault of the guy who owns the car next to yours in the parking lot.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet but even influential people sometimes get banned from casinos as witnessed in the following video:

Maybe you should watch it and pick up some tips on how to get unbanned.

Man...these never get old. The last 45 seconds is priceless

Thank you!

Face-to-face is always the best way to go. Call ahead first and ask to speak to security and see if you can set up an in-person meeting with a supervisor in their department. Be very humble, polite and honest. Tell them that you are currently banned and would like to discuss the possibility of getting back in with the highest ranking person in security you can and that you would sincerely appreciate having such a meeting.

If you cannot reach anyone in the security department, ask for the poker room next and follow the same pattern. Ask to speak to a manager and do the same thing.

If you can't speak to anyone in either place, then walk in to the front door, find a security guard and be very straightforward and honest. Tell them that you are banned, tried to reach them by phone to discuss getting back in but could not and ask to speak with whoever can help with that. One thing to consider though is if they ask you to leave, you need to do it but ask how you can set up a meeting to get back in.

Once you do meet, you need to eat crow. Period. Don't argue, don't justify, apologize and be as humble as possible. Tell them that you were wrong and you would greatly appreciate if they could let you back in. Also mention that if they do so, such an incident will never occur again.

I know a number of people who work in casino management and when it comes to situations like this they are like cops who stop you for speeding. They appreciate honesty and humility above all else. Nothing will benefit you more than saying that there was no excuse for your behavior, you have learned your lesson and something like that will never occur again.

I've even heard of people coming to any meeting with a written apology letter - again the more humble and gracious you are the better chance you have of settling the situation.

Mentioning that you'd like to reimburse the owner of the car you damaged couldn't hurt. If it was up to me I wouldn't lift the ban though.

What's more chicken**** than ****ing with a man's automobile? I mean, don't **** with another man's vehicle. You don't do it. It's just against the rules.

I got a letter in the mail saying I was unbanned after the earlier part of May.


Just in case they are reading this, I won't let you guys down. Thanks so much for giving me another chance.

Schweeet! Congrats, Op.

So, to clarify, does this mean they reduced your perma-ban to like a 6mo ban, meaning you can go back in May '13? Or did this all happen several months ago and it turns out you've actually been able to go back since May '12?

I thought of this thread a couple nights ago. As I approached the poker room desk shortly after midnight, a Brazilian was going off on the floor. The floor had asked to see his ID. Somehow, this was a terrible, terrible insult. The guy wouldn't drop it (even though he had the ID). He pointed at a friend of his playing and said "he wasn't asked for ID--why do I have to show it?" Floor explains "I just got here and I didn't seat him--if I'd been working when he was seated, I would have asked for his ID." "Do I look like I'm not 21?!?" "No, you do look 21, but that's not the rule we use--I have to ask for ID if you appear less than 40" (or 50--don't recall the number he used.) This idiocy continues for 2 minutes and the player comes -><- this close to getting himself booted from the room before even getting to play a hand. He finally shuts up and sits.

Once he sat down, he was calm and perfectly pleasant to play with. Is there some cultural thing in Brazil about appearing young?

Wish I were 22 again!
There's a lot more to life than being banned/unbanned from a casino.
Try to take some real lessons from this about self-control, maturity, thinking before acting, taking responsibility for your own actions, etc.
GL!

A place I was working at in Daytona Beach had an incident. I was called over, and this German was HOOOOOOT. He very upset about being asked for ID to drink. I explained in my very ragged German that here the drinking age was a little older, and that they take it very seriously in tourist places. He was like 22 or something and had some ID, so it was the principle of the thing. He actually calmed down instantly, like the Brazilian.

EDIT: I just realized people may think I am referring to the Daytona Beach Kennel Club. I am NOT. This was Bike Week on Main Street.
