Can someone explain the ID situation to me?

I reached out to an exec at Ilani casino about their policy of scanning ID after eight at night.

He said they only do it to confirm age, and only scan the ID to confirm it is not fake.

He said they don't keep the ID info in their database.

If it's a legal requirement you should be able to Google it.

The after 8pm part has the ring of truth only because if it was an anti-AP move, the AP's would just show up before 8pm.

Its not a legal requirement (at least not in most cities), many bars/restaurants do the same (usually after 8-10pm), once it hits a certain time, its easier just for 100% checks at the door since after a certain time most people go there for a specific activity (and that way bartenders don't have to check for each drink). Its a policy not a law (and if people disagree with it, they can not enter), there is no law that they must cite to do 100% ID checks.

They can refuse service for any reason (as long as it is not for a reason that is a protected class). If you refuse to give ID they can say "we don't want you here, this is a 24 hour trespass notice for refusing to comply with our rules"

Of course. It is a legal requirement in the same way any rule on private policy can be considered a legal requirement (not abiding by it gives the owner a reason trespass you and results in the related actions.)
But, generally there is no mandate for casinos or bars to do 100% ID checks at certain times only (it is almost always company policy.) So, there is no local law to cite, even if it is common practice.

I have seen casinos require a 100% ID check and security screening -similar to TSA where they scan all bags and you choose either a metal detecator or do a pat down- to enter for everyone (if this is a local requirement or just policy I am not sure, in both cases these have been the only casino in the area, so market pressure was certainly not a factor.)
