While you don't have to dust off your tux or show up in a Tom Ford suit, you do have to adhere to the club's dress code requirements; otherwise, you won't make it past the velvet ropes. While the dress code policies at Vegas nightclubs and day clubs typically apply more to men than women, regardless of gender, it is always a good idea to dress to the nines. Remember, these venues are known for their upscale atmosphere and stylish clientele, so putting effort into your outfit can enhance your overall experience.

Nightclub Dress Code for Men

While it was the norm for guys to wear collared shirts to the club, there has been a massive surge in the fashion vernacular of wearing fashionable or high-end t-shirts. Most clubs are lenient about this, but it is at their discretion whether or not to allow entry. I recommend throwing on a blazer over the T-shirt to complete the look.

Although distressed jeans are fashionable (small rips and weathering), clubs will not allow "destroyed" jeans for men, which refer to jeans that are missing huge chunks of the legs. This style is popular among women, but there are also some variations for men.

Here's where it gets tricky – while Jordan Brand shoes have come back into the popular consciousness, they technically fall under "athletic shoes" and are usually denied at the door. Yeezy's fall under the same category, although there are more cases of leniency with these, especially if you are a bottle service customer. Sneakers that are allowed: Vans, Converse Chuck Taylors, most Steve Madden casual shoes, or similarly styled miscellaneous brands.

Nightclub Dress Code for Women

Ladies, you have a bit more freedom when it comes to your club attire. The only limitations are gym wear and sheer and excessively revealing clothing that exposes an immoderate amount of skin. Contrary to popular belief that anything goes in Vegas, at the clubs, that's not the case.

Pro Tip: Pick a pair of shoes you can stay in all night, ladies. Not only is it dangerous and unhealthy to walk around the clubs without shoes, but it's also not a good look, and it's one surefire way to get kicked out.

Oversized Bags & Backpacks

Anything larger than a ladies' clutch must be stored in the club's coat check (only available in the winter months), or you will have to use the hotel's bag check or concierge desk, and there is usually a fee associated with this service. Backpacks and messenger bags are not allowed inside the venue.

Can I Wear My Hat in the Nightclub?

While many guys (and some ladies) love to throw on their favorite snapback when they venture out, that's not allowed inside the clubs. The same goes for dad hats, baseball caps, trucker hats, etc. Conversely, formal hats such as fedoras or even cowboy hats might be allowed, but don't take a chance – leave your hat in your Las Vegas Hotel room. Some places have cited security concerns (it's hard to identify someone through an overhead security camera with their hat pulled down), but like most dress code restrictions, it doesn't make the club's ambiance look good if everyone is sporting a hat.

BUT HE'S WEARING IT, WHY CAN'T I?

With every rule, there is typically an exception. Bottle service guests usually get a bit of a longer leash when it comes to their wardrobe – although not by much – and there are some instances when the club might be willing to make exceptions for certain individuals like celebrities and high-profile clients. It's understandable to feel frustrated when it seems like others are able to get away with things that you can't, but each individual's circumstances and privileges are unique. I assure you, pleading with the security or the staff to let you wear your Jordans 1's in because you saw someone else do it once before is not going to do a whole lot of good and will result in you getting asked to step away from the door to change your shoes or leave. I highly recommend dressing on the safe side to avoid any front door mishaps.

Dress Code for Las Vegas Pool Parties

While the vibe is much more relaxed at the Vegas dayclubs, beach clubs, and pool parties, there is still a strict dress code policy in place that all guests must follow. In order to gain entry, you must be wearing a swimsuit. This policy is strictly enforced to maintain the high standards of the venue and ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all patrons. Failure to comply will result in denial of entry.

Pool Dress Code for Men

If you think you can get into the club with a sports jersey showing off your favorite team, think again!

The biggest mistake guys make is thinking they can wear cargo shorts or basketball shorts to the pool party. If you don't have swimwear on, you will have to go back to your room to change or buy some at the swim shop (and they won't be cheap, so it's best to come prepared).

Wearing athletic sneakers into a day club is usually ok at a Las Vegas event, but it does vary from door to door. Some will allow them; some will deny them. I recommend going the safe route wearing nice athletic shoes.

Pool Attire for Women

Again, ladies have fewer dress code restrictions compared to men. You can wear your swimsuit under shorts and a crop top, but don’t show up in jeans and think you'll get in because you won't.

Hats, Sunglasses, and Bag Check at the Club

For those who don’t know for sure, hats, caps, and sunglasses are allowed. While you can bring large bags into the venue, please note that Las Vegas security will thoroughly inspect its contents to ensure you aren't bringing anything onto the premises that goes against the venue's policies. Non-bottle service guests will be required to purchase a locker for the day to store anything larger than a clutch purse. Lockers are available to rent at all pool parties for a hefty fee.

Brian Pfeiffer on Dress Code at the Clubs in Las Vegas

Dress codes are an essential component of the overall experience at Las Vegas nightclubs and day clubs. They serve to create a certain atmosphere and ensure that all guests feel comfortable and safe. While some may view dress codes as restrictive or exclusionary, it is important to understand that they are in place for a reason. By adhering to a dress code, patrons are showing respect for the establishment and their fellow guests. Dress codes help to maintain a level of sophistication and elegance that is synonymous with the Las Vegas daylife and nightlife scene. They also help to prevent any potential issues that may arise from individuals dressing inappropriately or causing disruptions. Dress codes are not meant to discriminate or offend. They are simply a way to maintain a certain standard of dress and behavior within the venue. Rather than taking offense, see it as an opportunity to dress up and make a statement.

If you want an alternative to the pricey clubs, we also have other extreme packages like skydiving, machine gun shooting, and supercar racing. We are experts at creating fun! Call us today (click to call 702-850-8044) and let us help you plan your entire Vegas visit. Guys, consider hiring some Atmosphere models or Vegas girls to enhance your Vegas nightlife experience!

What Our Customers Say About Us

Las Vegas’ Day Life and Night Life scene is legendary and so are the dress codes. In a town where almost anything goes, there is no getting around the strict dress code requirements. It might seem odd to be told how to dress for a club with a pool but think of it like this – a dayclub is a nightclub during the day, and as we all know, nightclubs have specific parameters of what is appropriate and what isn’t and those parameters are strictly enforced; alternatively, the same applies for the pool parties.

Don’t get hung up on the jargon that a dress code is a limitation of freedom or that it prohibits your freedom of self-expression. It’s simple really, the success of a club depends on the environment it creates. Clubs put dress codes in place because they want to keep everything as classy, upscale, and exclusive as possible for their guests.

What You Need to Know Before you Go

These days, Las Vegas’ “Day Life” is far more sophisticated and extravagant. When heading to one of the premier dayclubs or beach clubs, if you don’t meet the requirements, you will be denied access. So, if you don’t want to get turned away at the door, there are rules you need to know – from head to toe - before you go.

In the famous words of the great late Audrey Hepburn, “Life is a party, dress like it”. Both men and women are required to dress in appropriate swim attire. In other words, dress to impress and that includes to and from the pool – ladies, coverups are required. You will not be allowed to walk through any hotel lobby or casino without one. There are several stylish and popular choices from loose-fitting, lightweight maxi dresses to cute and casual sundresses and colorful sarongs with intricate designs. Keep in mind that Las Vegas is in the middle of the desert and temperatures can and will reach triple digits during the peak summer months, so dress light to remain comfortable throughout the day.

With increased social visibility from a highly-affluent, highly-globalized crowd, there is a strong emphasis on what to wear and what looks good, not only to impress, but also to feel empowered. Your swimsuit will be the star of the show – one-piece and two-piece bikinis in neutral colors like black and white or suits in fun colors, prints, and sexy cutouts are acceptable and appropriate. Wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and chic.

When it comes to showing skin, it is a forgone conclusion that you will want to show some; however, everything in moderation. A swimsuit that is too revealing can be a risky and embarrassing endeavor. You don’t want to have a “wardrobe malfunction” and accidentally have certain body parts slipping out. Also understand that two-piece swimsuit alternatives like pasties for a top and a thong as thin as “dental floss” for the bottom pushes the boundaries, and as a result, you will be asked to leave. Guys, no male mesh thongs.

While there are many great options when it comes to what you can and cannot wear to a Las Vegas pool party, you will not gain entry if you are dressed in any type of athletic wear including baggy shorts or professional sports jerseys. The dress code also prohibits jeans, sweatpants/sweat shorts, tank tops, any type of torn, ripped, or cut-off clothing, clothing that is dirty, see-through, features offensive words or prints, large logos, or contains chains.

Regarding shoes, before reaching for a pair of flip flops, understand that while flip flops are fine for the beach, Vegas’ upscale pool party venues do not allow them, instead, wear a pair of sandals or wedges, or preferably a pair of heels. Sneakers, hard-soled shoes, and boots are also off-limits.

Accessories such as beach hats are allowed, jewelry is permitted but it must be kept to a minimum, and bags will be searched. Take time to do your hair and makeup.

Think about your overall image. Even though you may be planning a relaxing day by the pool, you still want to look appropriate and presentable. Make a statement but don’t overdo it. It’s nice to stand out in a crowd but only for the right reasons.

Las Vegas dress codes are not all that complicated, just think trendy and upscale, have fun, and wear wisely!
