How to look sharp on a night out in Sin City

Think of Sin City with your eyes closed. You will see images from Hollywood movies of neon lights, wild stag dos and couples married in chapels by Elvis. With all the flurry of activities around, it’s often easy to overlook one thing – how people dress.

You can’t go out at night wearing beach shorts and slippers, no matter how much you are feeling the heat. Apart from appropriate clothes, you also need to groom yourself properly if you want to fit in. This guide will help you learn how to dress and brush up before you experience the city’s iconic nightlife.

Stay hydrated

Entertainment complexes are usually warm but not too uncomfortable. This type of temperature encourages visitors to order more drinks. If you are not looking to get tipsy, try ordering mocktails to keep your body temperature down. Make sure you drink enough to keep yourself hydrated. The warm temperature, together with your excitement, may make you sweaty. It’s not a great look when you are trying to stay cool and collected.

Shave and use hair gel

Whether you want to keep your beard on is completely your choice, but make sure you shave it or trim it to look stylish. Don’t go out with a patchy or untamed beard thinking it will make you look cool and hip; this is not Shoreditch. If you are not sure whether to keep your beard or moustache, shave them off completely. Tons of men sport the clean-shaven look. Apply some hair gel if you want that slick Hollywood style.

Wear a suit

If you want to impress, don’t forget to flaunt your favourite suit. Amidst the glitz and glamour, you need to maintain the formal look. Women can wear colourful dresses with high heels, but when it comes to men, it is better to stick to dark-coloured suits. If you don’t like to wear a black suit everywhere, you can try dark brown or even dark grey. The idea is to achieve that classy evening look – you can also sport a bow but don’t wear a tie. Remember, this is a night out, not the annual company meeting.

Etiquette

There is one etiquette that you should remember as you step into any club or gaming hall: be confident. Keep yourself calm and try to fit in – there are lots of first-timers just like you but you don’t know that purely because of the way they carry themselves. The workers at each entertainment complex – who are used to the typical style and dress code of these gaming environments – will be impressed not only by what you wear but by your attitude. Another way to get that final confidence boost is to be prepared.
