This isn’t 100% true. Security in Nevada and California are licensed and have what’s known as “powers to arrest”.

They can not grab you and physically remove you. This is called battery and it’s illegal. You can actually be charged with a crime as a security officer for this. Along with fined and lose your license.

What actually happens is them physically restraining you is a form of citizens arrest. They then hold you and call police to take you.

The issue with trespassing is it can only be charged if the individual continually refuses to leave. This means the moment they choose to leave, you must let them.

If in the act of being arrested they fight or assault people. They can be arrested for that. If they are violating the peace or committing another crime, they can be arrested for that.

However if it’s SOLELY trespassing. The moment they agree to leave; you need to let them leave.

The casinos do have police officers inside them and some security officers ARE deputized. A security officer can have powers to arrest as a security officer and powers to arrest as a police officer. They are entirely different things and have different levels of responsibility and liability.
