    I have some friends palying in the WSOP this year so some of the underage guys are getting a house and going along to try and rail during some tournaments and just hang out for awhile. Whats the rules in casinos there about this? I heard if you were not 21 you cant even stop walking in a casino but I've seen pictures of people under 21 being there and getting pictures with people etc. Can anyone tell me if we'll get the boot?

    Have not been there during that time but I can't imagine with so many people they would be walking around carding spectators.

    I've never seen a spectator carded at the Rio.

    You can't be on the gaming floor which is where you may get carded but they are a lot more lenient in a tournament area.

    I am not sure the exact rules, but I have never been carded anywhere in Vegas. I am 25 so I obviously look older, but I don't think anyone gets carded unless they do something to obviously draw attention to themselves.

    Your friends will be fine....

    If they choose to gamble dont play anything with large payouts that require social security cards or tax forms. If they sit in a live game and get caught they will most likely just ask you to leave but is somewhat unlikely, more likely by the cage.

    They will be ok... I just went to vegas in november. played almost everywhere did not get carded one time. The previous post is right do not play any tournaments with large payouts.

    But railing the tourny will be fine.

    When I played last year I must have seen a dozen kids 15 and under railing and getting autographs.

    When I first turned 21 I went to vegas I feel like I honestly looked like I was about 18 or 19. I played cash games and tournaments for about 3 weeks and was carded once. The only time I was carded was at the tail end of a marathon 2-5 session at the MGM where I cashed out 5k they said it was MGM policy to ID for any cashouts over x ammount, not sure what that ammount was though.
