2. Markers are based on available cash in a checking account. If there is not a history of available cash in a checking account you won't be allowed to open a credit line.

Very good.

Also, I just wanted to mention that very occasionally, applying for a credit line may come with a perk of some kind, especially when casinos open. For example, I think whatever the Sahara was previously, when it opened, gave you some kind of $200 or $500 comp if you successfully applied for a 10K line of credit. And when the LVHilton changed hands (I think pre-WestGate), if you qualified for a 10K line of credit, they gave you $500 in free play or comps. So keep your eye out for those kinds of offers. Rare, but they do pop up every once in awhile.
