Las Vegas Casino Marker Attorneys
Criminal Defense Lawyers in Las Vegas, Nevada
In almost any other place in the world, owing a debt is not a crime. Here in Las Vegas, however, you can go to prison for not paying a debt. The powerful casino interests in Nevada have successfully lobbied the Nevada State Legislature to make it possible for a person to be charged with a crime if a debt owed to a casino is not paid. A Las Vegas casino marker is not considered a “debt.” A casino marker is considered, under the law of the State of Nevada, to be a check. Accordingly, just like it is a felony offense to knowingly write a bad check over the amount of $250, it is a felony to knowingly sign a casino marker which you are unable to later pay.

Las Vegas Casino Marker? What You Can Do
It is important to immediately contact a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney experience in working with casino markers. The worst thing you can do when you have an unpaid casino marker is to do nothing. If you do nothing, a warrant will likely be issued for your arrest. As a result of the warrant, you will then be subject to being arrested even if you are not in Nevada.
