A buddy of mine just told me about how last night he cashed a little over $1k at one of the nicer MGM properties on the strip (a place I've cashed 2-3k a bunch of times with no problems) and the cashier asked to see his ID. He thought it was just to see the age, but she grabbed it and before he could say anything she ran it in something under the desk and walked into the backroom with it. She came out and he said something along the lines of, "what the ****?!"

She said, "oh it's gambling law. have to put you in the system." Which is of course bull ****. Keep in mind he was there for less than an hour playing green chips.

What the **** is going on? I don't know what to tell him. I've never seen that before ever. Is that even LEGAL?!
