We will probably have to agree to disagree on this.

People film inside casinos all the time now and it will greatly increase in the future when wearable cams and bionic implants become the norm. Vegas is a huge tourist destination where people are constantly filming and the importance of gaming continues to diminish. I certainly expect casinos to lighten their stance on filming in the future.

You're a lawyer, so if you can't figure it out maybe you should seek a new profession.

It may not be a public place but you don’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy when you enter a casino.

A casino floor is most definitely a public place though. People seem to confuse "public space" with "public place" and assume privately owned properties can not be in public.

All the time while playing craps at Caesars early 2000s I saw staff tell people not to film in the casino while walking through... they were using cameras, not phones that's all that has changed.

Just baiting you.....

(I once successfully defended a mob guy, and poker player, who had been busted in the act in a parked car behind a building under construction.

He got off twice is my guess.)

.... except that the Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that First Amendment Rights do not extend onto the Mirage property. See, post 96, above:

SOC, Inc v Mirage Casino Hotel, https://law.justia.com/cases/nevada/...1/34563-1.html

If you are interested in the actual, relevant law, try reading that linked Nevada case.

Some info here on bringing cameras to casino floor including table games (which is what poker is)

Found a bunch of other discussions on the subject just searching "can I take pictures in a casino" or similar etc...

This one is specific to Poker Vloggers...

One of the problems with live streaming is someone underage and not in Nevada can be calling the action.

This was a good thread specifically on this subject and specifically mentioned the Aria poker rooms stance on vlogging.

Ding ... time to stir the pot ....

A business can be 'open to the public' and yet have restrictions/rules in place that may be more stringent (but not violate) a state or federal law. It's as simple as a restaurant requiring shirt/shoes for service (or even a shirt/tie in some establishments or a collared shirt at a golf course).

I go into customer's facilities all the time that have restrictions on photography. It came to a head one day when I was looking a project over and taking a video which they wanted deleted .. I promptly told them .. "I'm an invited contractor trying to quote a project. I need the video so we can quote the best price. Still hissy ... I whacked them over the head with this ...
1) We already have a non-disclosure document in place between our companies!
2) We built this equipment before it was installed here! We still have all the prints, I'm just noting some of the changes the have been made since installation.

I'm not sure the actual reason why casinos are so wary of photos/video but I've been told at one casino that if you hit the BBJ and whip out your phone to take a shot of the Board that it could be voided.

Back this whole 30 post issue up for a sec ...
1) Enter a business with a photo/video policy
2) Someone violates policy
3) Person has issue with the violation
4) Person can address issue with the business and the violator by whatever means they choose.

If the business policy was violated and a patron feels 'damaged' somehow then they don't need state law to create a stir ... Just sue the business for not enforcing their own policy and toss in the violator for good measure to collect 'damages'.

You may say that's a stretch, but does a casino really want ticky tacky suits popping up over this stuff?

I saw one of Troopers videos from Hammond, IN and he did a great job of not showing any faces ... but I'll be damned if I didn't recognize the tat on the hand of the guy to his right! Didn't need facial recognition software for that one ... GL

could we please have fewer post about legal matters and more posts from hoooooooon ?

I'm not sure we ever resolved his issues

Those examples seem a bit different but I think we are all in agreement that a casino can kick you out for filming.

That sounds like a private facility. I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to just walk in there off the streets if I wanted to.

Casinos will try to prevent you from making money in any way possible if they can get away with it. That being said, at my casino there are all sorts of rumors about things that can void the bad beat but you know what? The bad beat has never been voided there! Those rumors, told to the dealers by management, is simply a way for the poker room to more easily enforce rules...because no degenerate wants to void the bad beat.


Don't be narc'ing on the trooper bro. He goes hard.
