There is no law against possession of firearms in a casino, be it Concealed or Open. Some casino's may ask you to leave if they discover that you are armed, if you do not, you are guilty only of trespassing.

202.3673 only applies to public buildings, which are defined as government buildings.

A casino is not a government building and therefore 202.3673 is inapplicable.

Private property could post signs at every public entrance banning the carry of firearms but they have no more legal weight to make firearms illegal than signs posted at every public entrance saying "shoes required" makes it illegal to go barefoot.

(b) “Public building” means any building or office space occupied by:
(1) Any component of the Nevada System of Higher Education and used for any purpose related to the System; or
(2) The Federal Government, the State of Nevada or any county, city, school district or other political subdivision of the State of Nevada and used for any public purpose.

this is where people get confused. Public building is not the same as a building open to the public. A casino is a Privately owned business open to the public. Their "no firearms" signs mean nothing. This does not mean that you can not be asked to leave, as they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone so long as it does not discriminate against a protected class.

As much as I hate that we, as firearms owners are not a protected class, private business owners still have the right to discriminate against us.

Protected class is a term used in United States anti-discrimination law. The term describes groups of people who are protected from discrimination and harassment. The following characteristics are considered "Protected Classes" and persons cannot be discriminated against based on these characteristics:
Race - Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Civil Rights Act of 1866
Color - Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964
Religion - Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964
National origin - Federal: Civil Rights Act of 1964
Age (40 and over) - Federal: Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
Sex - Federal: Equal Pay Act of 1963 & Civil Rights Act of 1964
Familial status (Housing, cannot discriminate for having children, exception for senior housing)
Sexual orientation (in some jurisdictions and not in others)
Gender identity (in some jurisdictions and not in others)
Disability status - Federal: Vocational Rehabilitation and Other Rehabilitation Services of 1973 & Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
Veteran status - Federal Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974
Genetic Information - Federal: Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act

Terrible's can post a sign all they want, there is no crime committed by an individual on the sole basis that they carried a firearm on their property unless they refuse to leave upon demand... at which point they would be guilty only of trespassing.

You could recieve for conviction of a misdemeanor a penalty up to the following:

Misdemeanor—Fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment in county jail for not more than 6 months, or both a fine and imprisonment, unless the statute defining the crime prescribes a different penalty.

Most all businesses do not want negative attention and will give a customer ample chances to leave or comply with whatever the rule they are asking a person to follow. Working occasional in Las Vegas, as an employee for a business I personally had persons trespassed. Never for an open carry issue. Metro says we have to give them one warning of the possibility of being trespassed. There is an NRS that covers that. Those that end up trespassed almost have to be on a mission to be successfully trespassed. I never worry about carrying a gun past a no gun sign at a business. For the most part, I do not give them my money. There is the occasional times for whatever reason I will go into a posted business and will carry concealed if I am with friends or family and do not want to cause an issue. From reading several posts on this site, it is my opinion if you are asked to leave make sure right up front they know for sure you plan on complying. This might buy you a little time to try to educate them making sure to reinforce you plan to comply. If the business gets pissed and makes a call to the law, saying there is a person with a gun and he will not leave. It will get elevated into what looks at first a lot more serious issue than trespassing. Once the law checks out the situation and determines all is legal, your day will have been messed up.
