In Mexico, 'dar las gracias' can be a polite way to decline an offer. If someone offers you more food and you say 'Gracias', it often means 'No, thank you'. Argentines often use 'dar las gracias' in a very warm, personal way, often accompanied by a touch on the arm or a kiss on the cheek.

The 'Las' is Mandatory

Never say 'Dar gracias' unless you are talking about 'saying grace' before a meal. For thanking people, always use 'las'.
