I have no idea what you do as far as casino play. Are you comfortable with the casinos having all that financial information on you? If so then a marker is just about convenience of not carrying cash. But you have never needed (or wanted) that before, so why now? I can only speak for myself, as a lower mid limit player, I want the casino to have as little info as possible on me.
Well I said I'd play poker. If you have never taken a marker out or know little about the process then that is fine.

I don't care to go to the bank and get 10k then have 10k to deal with. Yes, I can do that. Yes, it isn't a big deal to get 10k probably although sometimes it won't be available.

What if I want 30k? I don't know if casinos have an internal credit system built on repays? etc. Is it a standard credit score check? Can I login to my bank account? Someone told me he believes they want to see tax returns?

Not too worried as there are branches in LV .. but still.

And since I am just playing poker it doesn't matter if they know who I am. I might walk around looking for machine plays but probably not.
Casinos approve credit lines based on the average balance maintained over the previous 6 months in your checking account.

When you get a line of credit you are basically post dating a check made payable to the casino.
Jesus have mercy thank you. I could have googled this and asked around more but I figured lets have a thread related to Vegas.

This is what I'd heard before but a sharp friend of mine said he thought they required tax returns.

My hope is I login to my bank account in some office and they verify it all then say "ok you are approved for up to $xx,xxx" and that's half of whatever is required.
