This may be illegal, or at least safeguarded against. For example, they may make you surrender your old driver's license when you change your name. I'm pretty certain that most places won't let you run around with two valid driver's licenses under different names. That would lead to a world of trouble.

Depending on what you want to change, it's pretty easy. A lot of people change their names when they get married. You will need to pay for some sort of public announcement (generally a newspaper ad) that states your name change on public record, and pay whatever processing fees are applicable in your jurisdiction.
You will need to change accounts in a certain order; this may vary by area, but when my wife changed her name, she had to change her name with the SSA first and get a new SS card before she could go to the county and get a new driver's license, and she needed to get her physical driver's license before she could change her name at the bank. The complete changeover took about 6 months, but if you're not changing bank accounts that might be quicker.
One of the things you may want to ask yourself before going through all this is whether it's really necessary. Most suggestions I've seen revolve around playing slots for comps, as slots are valued more highly than table games. Most people also agree there's a significant disconnect between the casino floor and the marketing department - you're not going to get comps voided if they think you're a counter (so long as they don't think you're a criminal, which is a whole other ballgame). As an experiment, you should take your card and just go to a casino (so long as you're not trespassed) and play some slots on the card. Only if you're not accumulating points should you resort to more labor-intensive measures.
