The iBar cameras are most certainly available to casino security (as are hundreds and hundreds of other cameras all over a property like The Rio). However... just as you can split a TV feed (like putting a splitter on your cable line to run it to both your TV and your computer), I'm guessing there is zero connection between the iBar network and the general casino network.
