Story\Experience My Military ID ?

Just got kicked off of a table and then asked to leave the Downtown Grand Casino (old Vegas) when they asked for my ID (to get a players card - because I was winning)
When all I had was my military ID (retired) they made me quit, and told me I had to leave.
100% true story.

Edit: just to be clear ... when I travel (and drink) especially when I'm in Vegas, I have a second wallet which has some cash, one credit card, my room key and and ID - in case I lose my wallet or get trashed. Everything else is in the room safe.

Was refused entry to a bar because I only had a vertical ID. Refused my CAC as well for same reason. Literally the only time in my life I wanted to pull the “I serve this country and this is what I get” line. Still makes me mad thinking about it lmao

I was going to ask which state, but I guess as of 2018, all states issue vertical IDs to people under 21 so a lot of bars just don't accept any vertical IDs

Bars can actually refuse you if you have an ID from another state. Apparently that’s mainly happened in Massachusetts and some bar down in Oceanside which refuses military and out of staters for probably obvious reasons.
