Just curious folks does Vegas have a dress code . Since this is our first
trip do the shows and restaurants have a code where you need a suite or
jacket for men and fancy for woman

Only the fanciest restaurants go for a jacket and a tie. If you want
to dress up a bit, business casual is fine for almost any place. Of
course, you can also go for the waddling fannypack wearing, shorts,
socks and sandals sporting look. You certainly wouldn't be noticed in
many of the crowds.

The days of Rat Pack elegance are long gone.

It's pretty much just "shirts and shoes required" (well, pants too).
Casual attire is the rule rather than the exception. Hot weather is
also a consideration if you're outside on the Strip.

If you're going to a really nice restaurant, just dress neatly and
don't look like a beach bum. If you enjoy dressing up a bit, you can
do that, too, and not feel out of place.

I've never encountered a time when "smart casual," as used by cruise
ships, would not be acceptable.. . .and frankly, on the top end of how
most folk dress. Perhaps some of the ultra premium restaurants or night
clubs might require a coat and tie for men, I suspect that even those
would accept a collared shirt and jacket on most occasions.

For the shows, I usually attend wearing shorts and a golf shirt in the
summer or slacks and a collared shirt in the winter. The dress for
women would be comparable.

Coming to LV, if you pack appropriate seasonal recreational clothes and
shoes for walking the Strip, I bet that you'd be appropriately dressed
for 95% of the shows and restaurants. By tossing in a collared shirt
and sports coat for men and a pants outfit for the gals, you'd cover the
rest of the places.

Fran,

As others have said, almost anything goes with a few exceptions. If you
want to get into a club most will not let you in with tennis shoes/sport
shoes, especially for the men.

Speaking of shoes, I sure recommend shoes with foam rubber soles to act
as insulation from the hot pavement. I once wore some dress shoes (very
thin leather soles) to a wedding reception and within a half block could
feel my feet cooking. My shoes of choice are 2 or 3 eyelet deck shoes
with an additional insole insert. The additional cushioning is great
for walking or standing, and it adds a little more insulation between
you and the pavement.

True and very sad statement. When I go, I still dress to the nines for a
nice dinner and an evening at the tables.

My hint would be to bring shoes that are loose on your feet and wear two
pairs of foam insoles.

Also, leave your good jewelry at home.

If you're going to a show or a 'fancy' restaurant, i'd call it 'business
casual'. I've never been to a place in LV where I wore a tie. I've been
to Delmonico's and LOVE. That's 'high end' for me. Anywhere else,
t-shirt and shorts works for me this time of year.

Thanks everyone . That's what I had hoped for . I will bring some nice
slacks and dressy tops for evening and capris for day . My hubby has shorts
for day but always wears a sport shirt and dress slacks for evening so I
think we will be ok . He never wears sneakers in the evening when we go out.
He just did not want the ties and jacket deal
