Basically the title. I would much like to wear a mask for playing, I'm not sure what the rules are as i havent played stateside since the last March.

You can wear a mask if you like, at the casino. First not everyone is vaccinated. I talked to a dealer. She said she will only get vaccinated after people vaccinated did not show any side effect for one or two years. Wearing the mask doesn't bother her at all. Second, even vaccinated, some people won't take off their mask. I overheard some dealers talking about some other dealer. They said xxxx will wear the mask until the day she died even she is vaccinated already.
I think even after Covid 19 crisis is over, the mask will stay for quite a few people. I think it is great for AP.
I can't imagine a casino would bar use of a mask. In Asia, mask wearing has been around for decades. Yes, casinos are stupid and want to see your face. But, why turn away a customer? At the grocery store yesterday, there was a sign that said masks are no longer required. Every person had a mask, vaccinated or not. Over the last week in my zip code, zero people were hospitalized; but about 85% are still wearing masks walking outside in the neighborhood. Masks will still be around for a while.
I always wear a mask outside. But, I wouldn't want to wear one outside in Vegas in July or August.

Some casinos are now starting to go mask-less.
I personally wear masks when the business requires them (it's their rule, just like some stores ban guns, I follow the rule or don't patronize), otherwise I don't because I am one of those who believe we over-reacted over a bad flu. Personal opinion, not looking to argue.
But it seems that people will keep wearing masks for a long, long time, even when not required.
And I will certainly keep wearing masks at casinos, because I see an advantage in wearing them and so should you.
I know of one casino in the U.P. that just went "no mask" if you are vaccinated for both employees and guests. Its on the honor system. They won't ask to see a vac card.

This will never be over. It would become something like seasonal Flu shot. For example, they just found a new highly transmissible hybrid Vietnam strain 48 hours ago. It is the combination of UK strain and India strain. Scientists said on the first estimate, the best vaccine Pfizer vaccine is only 33% effective against this Vietnam strain. Looks like we need a new shot this winter. And Covid 19 will keep mutating so the vaccine needs to catch up every year.
