We’re so ready to turn up this Halloween in Las Vegas! Sin City is world-renowned for the way we celebrate this epic holiday. We want you to go for it and dress in a crazy awesome costume, but Vegas clubs have some restrictions. We put together a club costume guide so you can go full-on with your outfit and still be able to get into any venue!
If the bouncer can’t see your face, you’re not going to get in. Full-face Halloween masks are strictly prohibited. Masquerade-style masks are acceptable, but they will ask you to take them off when they check your ID.
Small amounts of face paint are acceptable, like a kitty nose and whiskers. As long as you are recognizable to the bouncers, a small amount will be okay. We know you can do a slay to the god’s makeup job, but you’ll have to keep it subtle if you want to get into a club. If your face is obscured by the amount of paint and/or prosthetics they will not let you in. Security has to be able to match your face to the picture on your ID.
Wigs are awesome and yay, they’re acceptable! But be prepared to take it off upon entry if need, as security may ask to see you without it when they check your ID. So don’t pin it on too intricately, this is a night for a quick pin job so you can take it on and off easily!
We all know people use Halloween as an excuse to wear more revealing clothing or forgo clothing altogether. However, Vegas has drawn a line in the sand: clothing is never optional. The phrase “No shirt, no shoes: no service” definitely still applies.
Nightclubs are subject to health codes, guests may not show up in an outfit that is simply body paint or without shoes. Save the pasties for Thanksgiving at Aunt Sally’s house, because no guest may be topless. At a bare minimum, ladies must-have on a crop top. Fellas, this applies to you too: no pasties or body paint in lieu of a shirt. However, this is the one time of year when clubs are lenient with their footwear and clothing restrictions. Men are allowed to wear shorts, baseball caps, sneakers, or sandals if it is a necessary part of their costume. After all, if you’re dressing up as 90’s Andre Agassi, he wouldn’t be rocking his Nike tennis outfit with a pair of Florsheim’s.
Bad news if you were thinking about going as anyone from Game of Thrones: Toy weapons (or real weapons for that matter) are prohibited. Also, bad news for Gandalf fans, because staffs also count as “toy weapons” and are not allowed in the club. Basically, anything that could be used to poke or prod people is banned. Obviously, all toy guns, knives, swords, ninja weapons, and any other fake weapon are strictly prohibited. There won’t be an armory check at the door so leave those props at home. Clubs also prohibit any fake drugs or fake drug paraphernalia, even if it goes with your costume.
We want you to have a killer Las Vegas Halloween! It’s not fun to have rules and restrictions on this costume holiday, but there’s plenty of opportunities to do it all here. You can enter a costume contest as the best Edward Scissorhands ever, then hit the club and don a sexy Superman number. Hopefully, our guide helps you come up with an amazing costume that you can wear into any venue. We want to set you up for success in Sin City this Hallows Eve, have fun boys and ghouls!
