Uniquely Las Vegas: Nonpayment of Casino Markers
They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but some mistakes can follow you home.
If you fail to pay back a casino marker or pass a bad check in Las Vegas, the matter is referred to the Clark County District Attorney's office for prosecution. If the bad check or marker was for more than $250, you will be prosecuted for a felony. A warrant will be issued for your arrest.
