If you are just using them in a presentation and not actually using them in the casino.
I have a presentation that I was planning on using them with, just as an example for marketing. I would just show them and roll them once and then never use them again. Is it really illegal even if it is just a demonstration?

They are in your pocket?
How is anyone going to know you have them? It’s not a gun, just keep walking.
If you are that concerned, call the casino and ask.

I don’t believe that would be illegal. You are not making any attempt to defraud anyone or cheat in the casino. It would be highly unusual for them to stop someone like yourself on the way to a presentation and detain you before having the police search you. I really wouldn’t worry about it.
On the way to the presentation they have no reason to stop you, and even on the way back you have a room full of people as witnesses that you were just using them to make a point in a presentation.

I don’t know the law in other places, but I DO know that in the state of Nevada, possession or manufacture of a cheating device is a felony, except in certain circumstances, such as; as a collector’s item. Don’t know if you’d fall into that category or not.
What I DO know: An overzealous prosecutor (is there any other kind?) MIGHT argue that you really DID intend to use them, and the only reason you set up the demonstration was to have an excuse in case you got caught.
If I were you I would check with the gaming commission in the state where you intend to give this demonstration.
I have an acquaintance who once got caught with a chip cup in a casino. For those who don’t know what a chip cup is; it’s a cheating device that’s usually used in conjunction with a dishonest dealer.

it’s not illegal to have them it’s illegal to use them at the gaming table.

Whatever conclusion you draw from the various answers above, I think it’s fair to say it’s a bad idea.
There’s really no good reason I can see for you to enter a casino with loaded dice. What do you intend to “demonstrate,” anyway?

It is actually illegal to HAVE loaded dice, no matter where you are.
