I am fortunate enough to live in an area with many casinos nearby. But I also go to Vegas a couple times a year and would consider APing there too once I am no longer a noob. But I have other things I like to do in casinos in Vegas, like poker, food and shows, and I sometimes go there with family. I do NOT want to get banned from strip casinos, especially MGM properties. If the risk is significant, I'd rather not AP on the strip and save it for home/other travels.
How much heat do APs get in Vegas and is it worth APing on the strip? How about off-strip? How about in Reno?
