The guy's a moron no doubt about it. Even if you were told not to come back on a prior visit--which isn't clear--he didn't act like a human being. Making believe you're refusing to leave (who would do that anyway?) would be awful difficult to prove once Metro arrived and asked you if that were the case.
Sure all the irritation adds up and adding insult to injury by saying he'll have you arrested boils the blood. But it must have been an off day for you because I'm sure you're usually prepared for that kind of treatment somehow.
I've been at a machine when tapped on the shoulder, & taken into an office where I was told I was no longer welcome to play on a Strip property, then escorted out. They even gave me a letter. I swear they were expecting me to react violently because they insulted me every way possible while 2 guards held firmly onto my arms, and it was they who prolonged the event, not me. I might have said 3 words the whole time, and they were not four letter words. And unlike you, if they thought I cared where I played, they were dead wrong.

The only way I even had confidence that he worked for the casino was the presence of the security guard behind me as we were talking. Among Mr. Stamis' first words, if they weren't his first words, to me were "I don't like you." I accepted him getting personal right off the bat. I accepted him throwing my driver's license on the ground and then telling me that I had thrown it on the ground. I accepted being told to leave. Maybe all of that had a cumulative effect, but there was something about him telling me that if I ask one more question, he'll have me arrested for trespassing that set me off. I didn't think he had the right to do that. That the video shows me on my way toward the nearest exit as I'm telling him my opinion of that statement of his shows how false his main defense that I repeatedly refused to leave is. It took some arm twisting to produce that video.
