According to our sources behind the scenes, the general thing to remember is this: If it's somewhere you feel you need privacy, you have it. There're no cameras in the restrooms or hotel rooms.

Just got back from my semi-annual trip to Vegas. How far does the "eye-in-the-sky" technology go? I get that you can expect surveillance in casinos, walkways, elevators, shops, and other public venues. How far does this extend? How about in hotel rooms, restrooms, spas? Is there anywhere you can expect privacy?

How much does Big Brother see? Almost everything.

According to our sources behind the scenes, the general thing to remember is this: If it’s somewhere you feel you need privacy, you have it. There’re no cameras in the restrooms or hotel rooms. We don't have a source in the spa, but we're confident in saying that locker rooms, or any room where massages might take place, are likewise not covered by cameras. Obviously, you’ll see more cameras around areas where money changes hands, such as cash registers, slot machines, ATMs, and gaming tables. Common areas like the casino floor, restaurants, shops, etc. are also well-covered. As far as the back of the house goes, the same general rules apply. There are plenty of cameras in the count rooms, casino cage, and security areas (where people might be detained). Common rooms and hallways are covered, although not with the same thoroughness as the front of the house; in other words, the back of the house has more blind spots than the front. The back also has its own private areas, such as locker rooms, staff restrooms, and management offices. The juicy part of this answer, and the area that might surprise you, is hotel hallways. Our source with ties to surveillance claims that only four hotels on the Vegas strip have cameras in the hotel hallways. The elevators all have cameras, as do the “lift lobbies,” the area where people gather to wait for the elevators. The thinking is that if they have that area covered and something happens in the room or the hallway, they’ve got the footage of that person coming and going, since the only way to the hotel room floors is by the elevator. If you really want to get into the specifics of what's covered, here’s the URL of a pdf straight from the Gaming Control Board. It lays out all of their regulations for what must be covered, along with some equipment standards. It’s seven pages on what's required of any gaming-related surveillance in Nevada.

What type of gambling is illegal?

The five major types of illegal gambling are sports betting with bookmakers, horse betting with bookmakers, sports parlay cards, numbers, and illegal casinos. Substantial numbers of Americans engage in these activities, particularly in urban areas.

ojp.gov - Illegal Gambling - Office of Justice Programs

Abstract

However, none of these options necessarily has major advantages over the other options or over present policy. No reasonable amount of police activity will eliminate all illegal gambling. Although broad support exists for the legalization of some gambling activities, a significant number of Americans believe that any form of gambling is wrong. Legalized gambling appears to create new gamblers. To provide State-run activities which would be truly competitive with illegal games would require activities which are highly flexible, inexpensive to run, retain a fairly small takeout, and are virtually untaxed. State-run gambling also represents a regressive tax which is much more expensive to collect than income and sales taxes. The five major types of illegal gambling are sports betting with bookmakers, horse betting with bookmakers, sports parlay cards, numbers, and illegal casinos. Substantial numbers of Americans engage in these activities, particularly in urban areas. Illegal gambling offers benefits through its recreational component and its provision of many individuals who are officially listed as being unemployed. However, illegal gambling also provides money for the underworld activities of crime syndicates, leads to some police corruption, and can lead directly to other types of crime. Data tables and a list of 42 references are supplied.
