I've been in (camera) security for 8 years now, and the advances have been enormous. 8 years ago, facial and license plate recognition was in its infancy. These days, some of our clients have cameras up where I can tell the brand of bra you're wearing from the tag on your back; on some sites you don't need a badge anymore and you don't have to peer into a retinal scanner because facial recognition is good enoguh to give clearance from 2 meters away. While by far most security cameras are ass with sprinkles on top, high security sites really can do quite amazing things these days. I don't monitor any casinos (SHAPE headquarters, though, I can totally get you inside if you want to), but I'd imagine they wouldn't be too far behind on the curve.I'm sure things have changed a bit since I worked in the industry. I don't doubt Vegas has it better than AC did, but it isn't as fancy they try to make it seem in movies and TV. Just as half-real as those "enhanced" pictures in CSI
