Deciding what to wear for a night out at a casino can be surprisingly stressful for first-time visitors.
What is considered perfectly acceptable in Nevada might get you immediately ejected in the South of France.
Dressing for Las Vegas and Atlantic City
In the United States, particularly during the hot summer months, casinos prioritize comfort to keep tourists on the floor.
However, if you plan to visit the high-end nightclubs or Michelin-star restaurants inside the resort later, you will need to dress up.
- Daytime attire in Vegas is entirely focused on beating the intense desert heat
- Jeans and a clean t-shirt are perfectly acceptable at 90% of American gaming tables
- Graphic tees with highly offensive language might occasionally get you flagged by security
The Formal Elegance of European Venues
If you attempt to walk into the Casino de Monte-Carlo wearing shorts, you will be swiftly denied entry.
Many traditional European venues require men to wear a tailored jacket and, in some exclusive rooms, a tie.
| Region | Daytime Attire | Evening Attire |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas (USA) | Extremely Casual (Shorts/Tees) | Smart Casual (Jeans/Button-down) |
| Macau (China) | Smart Casual | Smart Casual |
A quick Google search regarding the venue’s entry policy will save you the embarrassment of being turned away.
