I Was Asked To Leave The Casino...

@DorkySupergirl Said

We went on vacation and decided to go to the casino. I am not a gambler but my b/f does from time to time. We went into the main lobby and I was not asked for id. We looked around and decided to eat. I passed many stations where they have workers and I was not asked for id. We went to eat and decided to go out for a cigarette. We were going to come back in and he was going to gamble, I wanted some drinks and they had live entertainment.

As we were going out for a cigarette, a worker at one of the stations stopped me. He asked me for id. I'm 31 years old and you only had to be 21 to enter.

I got out my id. To make a long story short, I am not allowed to drive right now so I have a Canadian gov't issued id. It looks just like a license, costs the same and even has the same images in the back that won't appear if copied. The only difference is that mine says on the top that it is id only. I pass it to him.

I do want to point out the man had attitude. Like when someone craves power and has some authority.

He took my id, help it up to the light, twisted it and turned it. He looks at me real intense and looks back at the id. He is doubting it is real. I give him a break as maybe he has not seen a gov't issued id only before.

My b/f takes out his license to show him it is exactly the same. The man tells me that I am not allowed to stay and have to leave unless I have another piece of gov't issued photo id. Who has two? I realize I have my passport in the car but it would take a good 20 minutes to go get it and come back. I have done nothing wrong. My id is gov't issued and he is being a jackass about the situation. He even saw my b/f's license to prove mine was real.

I have cc's in my wallet, bank card, lots of things that prove who I am just not a photo id. He asked me to leave.

I am going to email in one big letter of complaint. He was mean to me and quite rude as well. He had a tone and I am shocked that my b'f could stay and I had to leave because I did not have a license. I checked into it and as long as I have gov't issued photo id they are not allowed to refuse me.

I have been there before and I will not be back again.

Thats heaps annoying, rude jackass..

My ex has the same kind of id as you as he doesnt have a drivers licence and he's never had any problems with it

Think the ego tripper was just looking to make himself feel big for a sec..


Years ago, i bought tickets to a band that was playing in our local night club.
I got the tickets prior to the event and wasnt asked for id when i purchased them.

However, when i arrived on the night, i had left my wallet home to avoid spending too much and had no id on me, so security wouldnt believe i was 18 (i was 24) and wouldnt let me in the door.

I was so mad, because they had let me buy the damned tickets with no id and i had been to that club thousands of times in the past without ever being asked for it.

I was like, 'be f***ed if im paying 80 bucks to see a band and then not see it!'

The police station was only 3 doors away, so i drunkenly marched in there, complained to the officer on duty, who looked me up on their computers, printed out proof i was over 18 and escorted me back to the club..

You should have seen the look on the security guys face when the police officer showed up and told him to stop being an a** and let me in

@DorkySupergirl Said

Yes, of course he left with me. He told me to take it good that the guy thought I was under 21. It was not about that, he was just a jerk.

I could have loved to see the look on his face Kat.

I understand the sign say they can refuse service to anyone. Those cases for usually for people underdressed, hookers, drunks etc.

I don't feel as though I fall into the catagory of being able to refuse anyone. The look on the guys face just showed how arrogant he was and he had the attitude of I have power because I can deny entry.

I'm very angry because I had the proper gov't issued id. We showed a license and proved beyond all doubt that it was the same except mine was just an id. If customs has no problem with it and if the police do not have a problem with it, why does one idiot with a chip on his shoulder have a problem with it. I proved my id was real but he did not care. He used his power.

As I said, it was not my first time there. We go every few weeks as we are on the border. So now I refuse to go and even if I wanted to go, they are saying my id is not real when it is.

I am getting their full address tonight and plan on sending the email by Monday. I'm sorry but I refuse to basically be called a liar and treated like that.

He deserves to be fired.

A friend of mine was in Reno, and had been playing slots all day. She had ordered several alcoholic drinks. Later, she ordered a donut (a DONUT!) and was asked for id

Sometimes, I wonder about people, DSG!

@DorkySupergirl Said

I get asked for ID a lot and I understand that part. They need to be safe because of the fines and such. But how can one say the id is not real though?
