quick questions

Is there a dress code on the Las Vegas Strip at night?

Not on the street, and most casino floors do not enforce one. Clubs, some lounges and the better restaurants do: usually no sportswear, no flip-flops, sometimes no trainers. If the night ends somewhere with a door, dress for the door.

What colours go best with tattoos?

Solid ones. Black, ivory and grey never fight black and grey work, and one deep colour such as emerald, rust or bronze sits well next to it. Keep busy prints away from the tattoo.

Do casinos in Europe have a dress code?

Often, yes. Many ask for smart dress, some ask for a jacket in certain rooms, and most ask for ID at the entrance. Check the casino's own rules before you go.

Can I wear heels in Las Vegas?

Yes, but plan for the distances. A block heel or a platform boot covers far more ground than a stiletto, and the walk between places is always longer than it looks.

How do I show a sleeve tattoo in a formal outfit?

Wear a sleeveless top or a one-shoulder neckline under a blazer, then wear the blazer open or over the shoulders. The outfit stays formal and the arm still shows.

Can I wear jeans to a casino?

On most floors, yes. For the lounge or the restaurant afterwards, dark jeans with a blazer and a sharp top get you into most places; some formal rooms still say no to denim.
