and guess what, no security was in the area to help. On her way she was cat called by 3 patrons who proceeded to try to follow her into the woman's room. We walk down to the regular slot machines and the young woman needs to use the restroom. We leave the high roller room to wonder the casino because we sure as heck didn't feel welcome any longer. I asked if they could put the word out to stop ID'ing us because it felt like we were being harassed, they said they couldn't make any promises and walked away.

When we questioned getting ID'd every 5 minutes the security stated it was casino policy to ask as often as they want, even interrupting our gaming. These security people were actively looking and excited about the prospect of kicking us out. They aggressively ask for our ID's for the 3rd time in 15 minutes. Next we are in the high roller slot room and we get surrounded by about 4 red jacket security staff and a black jacket security staff member. 5 minutes into walking into the casino floor we were ID'd again by a polite red jacket security guard, odd to have a security checkpoint but not an issue because she was polite about it. Walking into the casino we were ID'd, completely normal. In the group was a African american male and a woman.

Now I'm not saying my friends experienced racism by the security staff at Encore but it sure felt like we were targeted for something, I'll share my experience and let you decide.
