What to Wear to Vegas Clubs: The Complete Dress Code Guide

Getting turned away at the door because of your outfit is the most preventable mistake in Vegas nightlife. Every club enforces a dress code, and bouncers have zero flexibility. Here's what you need to know.

Nightclubs (OMNIA, XS, Zouk, Hakkasan, etc.)

Men

• YES: Collared shirts (button-down or fashion polo), dark jeans or dress pants, dress shoes or designer sneakers, sport coats/blazers
• NO: Athletic shoes/sneakers (Air Jordans are risky), shorts of any kind, tank tops, athletic jerseys, hats/caps at most venues, sandals, baggy clothing, work boots

Women

• YES: Cocktail dresses, stylish jumpsuits, dressy tops with jeans, heels or dressy flats/boots, fashionable sneakers
• NO: Flip-flops, athletic wear, very casual beachwear. Women's dress code is much more relaxed.

Pool Parties / Dayclubs

• Required: Proper swimwear — swim trunks (men), bikinis/one-pieces (women)
• Cover-ups: Acceptable for entry, but you need swimwear underneath
• NO: Denim, cargo shorts, athletic wear, t-shirts (in pool area), work boots

Strip Clubs

• Generally more relaxed than nightclubs
• Collared shirts recommended for men but not always required
• No gang-affiliated clothing, no excessively baggy clothing
• Closed-toe shoes preferred

The Safest Outfit for Any Venue

Men: Fitted dark jeans + black button-down shirt + leather dress shoes. This outfit works at literally every venue in Vegas.

Women: Little black dress + heels. You'll get in anywhere.

Venue-Specific Notes

• XS/Encore Beach Club: Slightly more upscale than average — no logos or graphic tees
• Drai's: Rooftop venue, so dress for warmth in cooler months
• On The Record: More relaxed than mega-clubs — clean sneakers are usually fine
• Hakkasan: Darker, more upscale vibe — dress accordingly
