Fit In
For the greater part, anything goes in Vegas. Jeans, T-shirts and trainers are the dress of choice at most venues. Dress to impress when splashing out in upmarket restaurants and pull out all the stops to get into some of the snootier clubs, where sun-kissed West Coast trendies party at the weekend.
