My understanding is that Nevada law allows casinos to "trespass" anyone for no reason, as long as it isn't discriminatory as to race, ethicity, etc. My understanding is that most other states are different.
Therefore, if one is barred in Nevada for a reason that they disagree with, it doesn't really matter, because they don't need a reason.
You can probably challenge the trespass in Nevada courts, and will likely be unsuccessful. In other states, it may not hold up.
Challenging the action by PR via picketing or the papers is probably the only way to beat it; the casino must change its mind, and will likely do so with conditions ("you can come in and play xx and yy, but not VP").
"Barring" was the reason I gave up card-counting / blackjack. Takes the fun out of beating the casino. Personally, I'd only fuss with a casino that barred me if I was a pro. If I had "benefits" coming to me from my play, I would need to accept their players' card conditions, which say they can change or cancel the program at anytime, and can probably do so for individuals as well as everyone. It's like fighting the airlines, where I flew a lot and earned "free upgrades" -- recently went to Geneva Switzerland and my upgrade from coach was miles -- plus $850!!! So much for free -- and could not persuade customer service, with whom I talked for a half hour, that this was bad PR.
When I was playing blackjack, I have gone back to casinos where I was barred, usually months to years later -- and have usually been recognized (and realized it - I am also alert to what's going on, just like them -- and gotten out of the joint before they fussed about it). If you're playing for comps, you need a players card, and that makes it easier for them to enforce the barring.
We may not like Nevada law, almost the entire public thinks it's absurd and unfair, including me -- but that's the law in Nevada nevertheless, and it's not likely to be changed by the legislature or the courts there. It becomes like any other law that we might not personally like -- you have to live with it, or face the consequences. For me, the consequences aren't usually worth the fuss.
