There is no strict dress code for most of Las Vegas. However, if you follow a few
simple rules you will never be out of place and probably receive better
service. If you ever have doubts about how to dress in Las Vegas and what to wear, check with the hotel
concierge.
Dressing for the Casino
During the day the rules for men and women are pretty much the same. Shorts or jeans, blouses, sport shirts with collars, and good taste
t-shirts are all acceptable. Obviously, clothes should be neat and clean. The torn beat up look is definitely not in. In the evening attire gets a little more formal. Shorts are out.
Jeans, slacks, blouses, skirts, dresses, button down shirts, jackets and of course suits are all satisfactory. Don’t even think about wearing flip flops. Needless to say, these are just guidelines
as most casinos do not have a dress code.
Dressing for the Nightclub
The nightclubs and lounges often have a dress code that they enforce. It is pretty embarrassing to wait in line to get in a club and then be turned away because you’re not dressed properly. People dress well at these places because they want to attract attention and of course be seen as attractive. Shorts, torn clothes, sneakers, flip flops and
t-shirts are out. If you must wear a shirt without a collar such as a t-shirt or pull over, dress it up with a jacket. Suitable dresses, skirts, blouses, button down shirts, slacks, jeans and jackets are all okay. The term “business casual” is often used to describe proper dress for these occasions. It simply
means, pressed jeans or slacks, a long or short sleeved button down shirt and closed toe leather shoes.
Dressing for Fine Restaurants
Better restaurants have dress codes of one type or
another. Only a few of them require jackets. They are at the
MGM Grand and
Bellagio hotels. Most of the other fine dining establishments require “business casual” dress. As was explained in “Dressing for the Nightclub”
above, this means pressed jeans or slacks, a button down long or short sleeved shirt and closed toe shoes. Ladies are usually seen wearing a dress reserved for social occasions.
Dressing for the Las Vegas Show
Daytime shows are completely casual. Dress to be comfortable. Although there is no actual dress code, people tend to dress up for the evening shows, particularly the upscale celebrity performances. Obviously strict formal attire is not required here or at most other places in Las Vegas. A good rule is
to dress so you don’t feel out of place. See our
Las Vegas Show Guide for more
information and a complete list of the top shows playing in Vegas.
Dressing for Just Walking Around
First, always dress to be comfortable when you are
walking around. In the summer this means shorts. In the winter, this
means jeans or other long pants. Keep in mind that Las Vegas is on the
desert and it can get very hot and also very cold. Often it is hot
during the day and cool, or down-right cold at night, so if you are
going to walk around at night, check the weather report or with your
hotel staff to see if a jacket is necessary. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes
as places are further apart than you might expect.
