Gene, That's just what the floorperson in Sparks told me. I played a little and looked through the stack and took about half of them. When the dealer asked me to color up I told him I'd be back. I still plan on going back., I just haven't made it back yet.
Another table in Carson City was dead and I figured I'd ask very nicely and after the tip was mentioned managed to get 8. Actually cost me less than playing.
I imagine they could stop you but I can't see how it would hurt a casino to take a few.
