I have 'credit' as a number of casinos and simply cash a check at the cage for cash to use for gambling rather than have to make a return trip to the cage or pit to redeem my marker later. One of the most recognizable structures in Las Vegas, the 30-story pyramid an architectural wonder invites curiosity, while the inside rewards visitors with equal parts excitement, mystery and intrigue. They don't normally do this, as you are expected to redeem your marker before you leave Las Vegas either with cash or by writing a check and redeeming the one you signed at the table. The pyramid at Luxor Resort in Las Vegas, with its beam of light, provides a striking visual even on the overtly glamorous Las Vegas Strip. They're negotiable instruments and the casino could actually present them to your bank and have the money taken from your checking account. The markers you sign for chips at the tables are actually checks. So don't show up at the casino with your checkbook and expect rapid approval. They will actually call your bank during business hours and talk with an officer. This takes a few days, so call the casino well before your trip and have them fax you an application.
The verify with your bank your average checking account balance, overdraft history, etc. They don't check your credit score and your credit rating is not a factor for approval. Your casino credit application is based on the average balance in your checking account. What you are actually doing is establishing check cashing privileges. Well, 'casino credit' is sort of a misnomer.
