when i went in Oct 07 they told me at caesers that i didnt need it and they would withhold - providing i had my passport. Check with the desk before you play -
I presume that's a lttle typo and you mean wouldn't withold?In my limited experience i was just paid out in "house chips" which you then cash out at the cashier desk,isn't the problem if you win over $10k then things may change?
Obviously OP is playing in a big tourny so this may apply if he cashes.
