In a word, yes. As has been stated earlier in this thread, you must have a
valid photo ID, and you will probably have to sign an additional form
attesting to the correctness of your ssn which you either stated verbally or
wrote down for the slot floorperson. But in Las Vegas (all of Nevada?) you
do not need to show the actual Social Security card. I never carry mine
with me, and I have never had a problem getting paid.
