More details to this question:
A while ago, me and some of my friends went out to this club at the casino. One of the girl who came with us was apparently underage. However, they let her in, after a 1 hour someone who works at the club told on her and they wanted her out. They kicked me and my other friends out who all where 21 and over, are we allowed to sue, they treated us like crap!

They probably interpreted the situation as your committing a crime by bringing the under age girl in with you. I think that your credibility with them is shot. I think that they were within their rights.

No, they have a right to decide who they want to have as customers. If you looked too young, then they had a duty to remove you so they can stay in business. Best to go by the place when it is not busy so your ID can be examined so you can then come back and know someone who will let you in and know you are okay,.

They can kick out whoever they choose, as long as it is not based on race, nationality, gender, or religion. I do not think you can sue.

I don't think so. They can choose with whom they want to do business, and many clubs and stores are prosecuted via sting operations. You can take your business elsewhere and as long as you are truthful, you can use social media to let other know why you are doing so.
