Nope, Gambling, at least in NV, is governed under the Right to Refuse Service Act which states that for ANY reason, a casino may refuse the action of a potential costomer.
It would take balls the size of Clevland for them to walk up to the OP and say, "Get out, you look different than white people," but it wouldn't be against the law. Of course, Harrah's could just as easily kick you out and not tell you that it's for racial reasons, and that would fly just fine.
For what it's worth, I have no proof that any casino has ever abused their power in such a way (though I find it hard to believe that one hasn't) nor do I side with the casino against the OP (so long as we got the whole story).
