What
to Wear to a Las Vegas Nightclub.
By Jack Colton
Las
Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, and Miami are all synonymous
with high-fashion in the United States. That said, you don’t
want to even try to get in the clubs
here unless you are dressed properly. It isn't worth getting all
the way to the door, and then getting turned back because your
shoes don’t fit the dress code (especially when your friends
will probably just laugh at you and walk straight in while your
out pleading with the doorman for mercy. I’ve written a
general guide for what the majority of the clubs here will let
you in with, and what you should wear so that you don’t
blend in the crowd.
COLLARED
SHIRTS: Any night of the week that you go to a
Las Vegas club that typically has more tourists inside than locals,
you are going to find yourself in a virtual sea of those stupid
untucked collared shirts with the top button undone. There isn’t
anything wrong with wearing this outfit, but you need to at least
make damn sure that you don’t match all of your friends.
If everyone you are with is wearing the same thing, shake it up
a bit with a sport coat or an ultra-thin black tie (or wear something
else). The goal is to stand out in a club; not to look like you
are the star member of “team dude.”
T-SHIRTS:
This is a tough one. Most clubs will give you crap if
you try and walk in just wearing a T-Shirt and jeans (unless it’s
a damned nice t-shirt), but then again, I do it all of the time.
I would suggest playing it safe unless you have been there before
with a t-shirt on. A good option is to wear a trendy jacket or
sport coat over your shirt.
DRESS
PANTS: You can obviously
wear dress pants to any Las Vegas nightclub if you really have
your heart set on it, but it’s completely not necessary
at any club in town. You are just fine with a nice pair of jeans,
and you won’t look nearly as stuffy.
JEANS:
As mentioned above, jeans are completely acceptable at
every club in Las Vegas. You just want to make sure that your
jeans look good, as a lot of clubs frown upon torn/rugged jeans,
and you don’t want to even try to walk in wearing really
baggy jeans. You’ll get rejected. Probably even laughed
at. Children might cry.
SHOES:
You are always safe with leather and dress shoes. You can even
occasionally get away with low profile “tennis shoes”
as long as they are solid black (including the laces) if they
look dressy enough and don’t have any huge logos on them.
Pumas and basketball shoes won’t work anywhere.
HATS:
Some clubs will let you in wearing a hat if it
is considered a “fashionable one” (rimmed, beret,
etc), but absolutely no Las Vegas nightclub will let you in wearing
a baseball cap.
SUNGLASSES:
These are allowed everywhere, but they look f*cking
stupid. I'm always one to appreciate new fashion trends and
to embrace all things sexy, but the people who wear sunglasses
to nightclubs are seriously trying too hard. And unless they are
veterans at looking like a moron in the club, half of them realize
their stupidity halfway through the night and wear them on their
forehead instead. Don't risk public humiliation. Leave them at
home.
JERSEYS
& TANKS: Don't
have a chance getting in 95% of the time. Nobody cares if it is
Gucci and it cost $150, leave it home.
*TIP:
If you go to a Las Vegas nightclub and see someone wearing a hat,
tank top, or questionable shoes; you need to keep in mind that
they probably knew someone at the door. If you get rejected in
line for some reason, just go and change. Don’t start arguing
about what you’ve seen walk in, you will just get 86’d.
