Scott,
I have bought from you in the past and will do so in the future so I certainly have no ax to grind with you. You ask, "What right does the Trop have to deny those 2 people you gave money to"? I am no casino expect but, they have the same right as any business to deny service to anyone. The same as they deny service to card counters even though it is not against the law. I imagine they are trying to be as fair to everyone as they can to keep complaints to a minimum. I would see no problem if you had planned ahead and posted other buyers out of sight and camera range. To do it where they could see, was asking for it. Just an opinion, looking forward to meeting you at the convention.
