Is this legal? What happens if you get caught using a smart phone to do this? (BTW this would be a cool iPhone app for someone to make)

It's not illegal, but it's against the rules of the casino, and you will be thrown out. (And probably banned.)

  Didn't casinos used to frown on camera use? It's hopeless now that everyone has a camera with them all the time, but I thought I'd heard way back that cameras and casinos didn't get along.

    In my experience, if you're near the actual gaming, they won't let you use a camera (with exceptions). If you're taking pictures of craps tables or something that are currently shut down, you can probably get away with it. Also cellphone rules are pretty restrictive, so even camera phones would probably get you a reprimand.
