Is there a Nevada statute or case law which prohibits it, other than general notions of false imprisonment?

Do the casinos give the detainee the initial choice to follow them to the back room?

For example, do they preface things with "Will you please come with us?"

If so they can argue waiver / voluntary compliance.

Were I ever asked to go with staff I'd refuse and attempt to leave...as should we all, in my opinion: "Just say NO."

They ask you to accompany them and then compel you when you refuse. (I guess sometimes they give up when you refuse but I've not heard of that).

The relevant tort is false imprisonment. They need something like reasonable suspicion that you have committed a gaming related crime to detain you (I assume there are other permissible grounds like actively commiting a violent crime but they aren't relevant here).

The problem is that with card counting and holecarding and other table games AP the suspected acts are not crimes in NV in the first place, therefore detaining you on suspicion of them is a false imprisonment.
