But yeah, the underage players are SOL. If you're gonna go to Vegas and gamble while underage, stay below the radar. Don't win any slot jackpots, don't crack the Carribean Stud jackpot, don't hit a bad beat poker jackpot, and don't go to the cage with $5K and try to cash out.

Hang on...when I gambled underage at the Borgata and I was carded, I just told the floor that I left my ID at the Taj where I was staying. He said I couldn't keep playing and I cashed out over a dime (hit it lucky at Roulette--I only play 1/2 NL cash).

I'll quote from Nevada NRS 463.350

1. A person under the age of 21 years shall not:
(a) Play, be allowed to play, place wagers at, or collect winnings from, whether personally or through an agent, any gambling game, slot machine, race book, sports pool or pari-mutuel operator.

You cannot collect your winnings. So sorry. And you can't give your chips to someone else to cash for you (in theory).
If you hit a big jackpot and don't have your ID, the casino will be happy to keep it safe for you until you can provide it. I've seen this regularly at poker tourneys when folks get deep enough into the money they need a W2G and don't have their ID.
If you go up to the cage with $5K and try to cash it they're likely to demand ID for their cash-transaction tracking, and if you cannot provide it you may have some trouble getting the chips back from the cage. If you go up with >$10K you DEFINITELY will have to provide ID.
