Las Vegas - Dresscode in Vegas

I've only seen vegas in Bond movies so I'm not sure what ordinary people wear there! Is it a tux in the high class casinos and dinner? Or just jacket and tie for men?

Vegas is a crazy place. You'll see white trash all the way to tuxedo. Unless you go somewhere that has a specific dress code then feel free to wear whatever.

What I wear is absolutely fine. You can find my clothing at slobs-r-us. But if going to a club and looking for action....probably need to spruce up a little, in my experience :o.

Another vote for seeing everything here.

Cool I've just bought a navy summer sports coat with gold buttons so I'll probably wear that. I like to dress up as well lol so I might hire a tux :)

Vegas runs the gamut of what to wear. I have seen all kinds. Think "people of walmart" site to higher class wear (seems like the only time I have seen a tux was at the opening of the Manderin Oriental). If you go to a higher end restaurant or club, you will want to dress up some.

It's vegas... wear whatever you want.

Even in the most exclusive of restaurants, nobody is gonna say anything. The guy in the old shorts and dirty t-shirt is probably a casino whale anyway.:D

Bring money, dress how you want. !:D:D:D

But don't rent/hire a tux.

Pants optional.

But it really depends on where you're going. Check the websites for the restaurants you'll be going to, or look at yelp.com to get reviews from people that have been there.

At such locales as the Spearmint Rhino, the less, the better.

1) Bond never visited Vegas.
2) The only requirement is shoes. :rolleyes:
3) Thanks for spending large sums in the USA.

Of course he did!

Diamonds Are Forever

Diamonds Are Forever

Yes. But has it ever changed since then .....You are in for a treat when you visit.

I've only worn a suit in Vegas a handful of times, and only for formal work events.

Weather permitting...during the day I'm usually in shorts/short sleeved shirt, or at the pool.
Evening, if I'm seeing a show some nice jeans and a nice button down shirt.

I've seen very few people wear suits in Vegas. More and more I see jeans, or even shorts...even at shows.

While no dress codes exists I do think the world is a better place if people dress approprietly for the occasion or location. To me tee shirt and flip flops at a nice restaurant or dinner show is tacky. I much prefer my wife in a dress and I wear slacks and sport jacket. A tux would be over dressed.

Spot-on!!

I gotta get more sleep. :p

Plenty of restaurants and clubs have stated dress codes. Whether they actually enforce them is another question.

I always wear a suit or sport coat and tie at nicer restaurants and shows. Most showrooms are so refrigerated, that my wife steals my jacket midway through the show.

Bond, in Vegas?

I "think" he was only in Vegas once (or, shall I say, in one movie); and that was in "Diamonds are Forever."

He wasn't playing baccarat or chemin de fer in that movie though; but another, very "American" casino game. :cool:

Apart from the clubs, which really depends on the girl/s on your arm and the bouncer, almost anything goes. Use a VIP service if you really want to get in, then again, if you are going use them, you are going to be dressed trendy anyway and using bottle service.

Staying at the MGM for the last 2 nights, I've seen everything from wearing a bikini to full Tux & Wedding dress in the casino.

There seems to be 3 trends, Dress Slutty, Dress Casual/Trendy & Dress to the Hilt, no one really cares, everyone just mixes the same.

Now if only Vegas could rid those Adult Card flickers, damn PITA!

I always bring a blazer/jacket(at least) to wear to nice places. The "money is the only thing to worry about" mentality is one of the reasons I don't get too excited about going to fancy places in LV-that and the fact that you are paying a premium to eat in the casino version of an otherwise nice place.

I had no jacket at Robuchon nor Guy Savoy and nothing was said. At Robuchon (the mansion) most people were wearing a jacket.

Few years ago, when Boulud at Wynn was still opened and I had a dressed shirt but no jacket and a waiter brought me a jacket to my table after I was seated. It was done nicely
(1 month agao at the FS GV Paris restaurant, a client was walking in the restaurant and the waiter was almost screaming that a jacket is required .... they gave him a jacket but almost the entire restant was able to hear the jacket'story....

Indeed. Circus Circus is even more of a low end grind joint. And the International is once again not a Hilton branded hotel. :)

As far as I know there are currently no restaurants in Vegas that require a jacket, including Robuchon and Twist. Most fine-dining restaurants require a collared shirt, long pants, and closed-toed shoes for men. Nice jeans are perfectly OK.

That being said, the formality of a man's dress often corresponds to the stakes at which he is gambling. Low rollers wear shorts, sandals, and polo shirts or tees. High rollers wear designer jeans or Italian slacks, expensive shoes, and designer shirts with an optional jacket. Tuxedos are only worn by the biggest gamblers of all, men getting married.

Classic! :cool::cool:

or at some kind of a function or ballroom dancing competition, the only people in a tuxedo may be you and the staff.

Also, the warmer the weather, the more casual it is on average. As it gets closer to summer, heavy clothes become very uncomfortable. People will start dressing up again in December.

But wear what you want to wear, whatever it takes to fulfill your image of how you should look in Las Vegas. It's really one of the few places on earth where you can't really be either overdressed or underdressed. Kind of amazing in that way. (and in other ways)

I know what you mean..

But I was referring to the spectacular FX and decor that one gets to see, lot of them FREE.

+1 on that.....

We were at Aria a month ago or so. I like eating at the Bellagio so we were there as well. There is no dress code in Vegas, unfortunately. For dinner and a show I like to wear a jacket for both the slight formality and the extra inner pockets. In a jacket, I was in a very small minority.

Men wear anything they can get away with. Women wear less. I hope you aren't going the tux route. It would look silly outside of a wedding chapel. Even in the nicest places there is a sea of humanity that is either staying there or gawking and in the middle of it will be you very over dressed. Walking the strip in one would be awful.

I saw a guy dressed in a t shirt and shorts who looked like a total slob playing $100 hands of blackjack. In the end, the only thing that matters in Vegas is what you are willing to spend.

In the final analysis, it depends on how you would feel dressed a certain way.

Bond, in Vegas?

"Just relax. I've a friend named Felix who can fix anything."

One of my favourite things about living here is that, no matter where you go, there will always be someone dressed worse than you are. :)

So true! ^

If you really want to make an impression in Vegas just think Austin Powers!:D

Swimsuit during the day (recovering at the pool), Sport jacket minimum at night.

Dressing up = treated better = better experience = more fun

Plus it's Vegas, do it big!

Swimsuit during the day (recovering at the pool), And let's be clear on the swimsuit. In the US, this means shorts/swim trunks. In other parts of the world, it seems to mean something that leaves nothing to the imagination :eek:. Please don't wear one of those. Think of the children.

I guess it would be an oversimplification to say Vegas is about money not class and has more people trying to look clalssy than who are actually classy, but that applies to many places. Myself, I like to wear a nice, basic, short but non-tacky dress. Even if my wife wants me to wear slacks.
