The rule is still in place! 
On my birthday last Thursday at the Wynn Las Vegas, I crossed paths with a lovely woman named Carolyn from Austin TX who also has her birthday on the same day as mine. Later, when I started playing on the $25 table, I noticed Carolyn and dragged her over to the table, since the shooter was just to my right. That shooter shot real well, made about 4 points with lots of Place numbers until he eventually Sevened Out. Though I had shot well earlier that afternoon while wearing my Kobe Bryant Olympic Jersey, I passed the dice to Carolyn who was a little intimidated but gave it a shot with one green chip I fronted her.
She starts with a Four, and makes the point on the next roll. Good start. Then, she Comes Out with an Eight and after 2-3 Place numbers, hits the Eight and the crowd goes wild!! Actual yelling and screaming and jumping up & down at the normally reserved Wynn. While she did Seven Out next, Carolyn said it was the most fun ever. Proof the "The First Time Cute Lady Shooter Rule" is still in place.
