Disclaimer: Not my experience with facial recognition; rather, a friend's.

Background: My friend is barred from all Iowa casinos. Caesars properties are included, FYI. He was barred a few years ago and hadn't visited a Caesar's property in quite some time.

My friend returned from a Las Vegas trip this week. This was his first visit to Las Vegas. The incident in question happened at Caesars Palace. He sat down at a table and bought in at low stakes ($200), got up to take a phone call, and as he was walking back to the table, security confronted him by first/last name and indicated he was not allowed on any Caesar's property. This was the first property he walked into, and he estimated 10 minutes passed between when he sat down and when he has told to leave. He had not shown ID once during this trip. Upon asking why his state ban applied, Caesars indicated they take it a step further and subsequently ban folks worldwide anytime a state ban occurs (not new). He left without pushing the issue and was given his buy-in $, but was shocked at how fast he was identified with either an old driver's license photo, or an old photo from playing at the table/cashing out.

I am familiar with Caesar's internal procedures to ban folks from their properties worldwide (Bob N has commented this type of ban is not enforceable), but wanted to pass this along to folks as an FYI, RE: accuracy of facial recognition deployed at some properties.

Be safe!
