    Passport doesn't have address, either. No reason a Global Entry card is preferable, other than it being wallet sized.

If you play somewhere unrated often enough the pit will make up an account for you whether you want one or not maybe under your real name (if they find it out) or maybe under a nickname they create for you based on what celebrity you most look like or some mannerism you have. Playing as a refusal does not guarantee that the casino doesn't track you unless you're only an occasional visitor to that casino. If you play somewhere often enough they will eventually stop asking you for ID in the pit. By that time, they'll probably have already created an account for you even though you won't be aware of it and won't be able to get any of the comps you're accumulating. Price of being young. Still better to preserve your real name for later in your gambling life when bigger edge opportunities present themselves (if possible).

    Right, I know the dealer won't remember any of my details (unfortunately some say i do resemble a celebrity but nothing i can do about it) but my concern is eye in the sky. if i'm made, there's no way surveillance would not be able to go back on tape and zoom in on my ID when first checked by dealer/floor and get all my details. i also often get ID'd by the cage. so i figured if that were the case, might as well play rated.

    I have a global entry card, so I'm familiar with it and its uses. My concern is most casino personal probably won't be familiar with one, so they are going to spend more time scrutinizing it, possibly asking their boss if it's an acceptability ID, all making your ID more memorable to them, which is what you're trying to avoid. If it works for you, great.

    Another option is to apply for a Passport Card. You have to pay extra for it, but it may be worthwhile.

    I just looked at my passport. It has the state where I was born, but nothing else. Are you talking US passport?

    Here's a thought... can you get a wristband at the entrance? One of our kiddos did that, and he wasn't carded a second time at the table. It was just that once, at the door. This wasn't in Vegas, so I have no idea if it would work there.

    Even if possible, the point is that if i'm caught, surveillance can easily find the time when i presented my ID (whether to dealer or security), zoom in, and garner my info from there. there's no way their cameras cannot do that.
