A casino doesn't have arrest powers, they can only ask a person to leave. One wonders what the professor actually does for a living that he doesn't know that.
You are right. The casinos ban them big time. But not arrest as there is no [apparent] crime.
They may not have arrest powers, but Frankie, Rocco, and "The Neck" will make sure you spend a little quality time on a long drive in the desert, just you, them, and a 34 ounce Louisville slugger...;)
Cheating a casino is a crime in Nevada. They don't ask such people to leave. They call the police. (The ones they ask to leave are mostly blackjack players who utilize winning strategies, but are not cheating.)

You're right, they do not have "arrest" powers. However, they DO have "detention" powers, just like a store security guard can detain a shoplifting suspect, who can then be turned over to the police to be arrested.

I saw an article once in a Las Vegas newspaper about a guy who was a card counter, which is legal.
A casino didn’t like what he was doing, so the casino security guards, some of whom were moonlighting cops, dragged him into a back room. They searched him, even removed his pants. A picture of him sitting handcuffed in a chair in his boxers accompanied the article. After interrogating him, they let him go, and banned him from the casino. Las Vegas Metro showed up during all this, but they did nothing to help the man. He sued, but I’m not sure if he won his case.
I think he’s probably a Las Vegas hitman called “The Professor.” He teaches classes in “gaming” at the “university.” wink, wink
