If you look like you are worried about being carded or nervous at all, they will card every time. If you just walk up confident, like you have been there before, and are just looking to walk on through with no hold ups, they rarely card you. At least this is what I have experienced.
BTW - Taking chips out of the casino has never ever been an issue for us that are just bringing them back fairly soon to play with again. When you play the higher stakes, you don't want to be cashing out 5K to 10K every time you leave. I always cash about 2K to 3K and get the rest in large chips. No reason to keep throwing up red flags about how much you are cashing out. I don't always mean winnings either, so that is not a brag at all. You could be down 5K-8K or so at one point, buy in for 2K again, and run it back up to 6K. You might be down actually, but to them you are cashing out 6K.
I don't know the threshold at MD Live for them taking your name when cashing out a certain amount. Does anyone know exactly? That is why I never take more than 3K in cash and the rest in chips. You can always sell the chips to players at the table for cash during games as well, as another way of cashing out some without red flags.
