What generally happens?
I lived in Vegas during 2015 through part of 2016, and it took me about 6 months to get banned from playing blackjack at nearly every property in Vegas, including downtown and all the locals casinos. Usually I would get "the tap," where a shift manager (or whoever) would appear and tell me I'm not allowed to play BJ, only the other table games. Sometimes I'd get approached as I cashed out at the cage. It got to the point where I'd go to some casino I had never even been to before, and they'd back me off immediately, right as I started to play. Obviously I was in some database and they had facial recognition.
Only one property, the SLS, banned me from the premises for life. It's probably because I played again after previously getting backed-off twice.
Most of the time the manager was nice, but occasionally they'd send some gruff security guard to watch me cash out.
The only casino that didn't seem to mind was the Venetian, and I'm not sure why. The only counter-measure they ever employed was to send the pit boss over, who would try to distract me by talking to me and asking a bunch of questions.
