Introduction
One area in which Macau casinos tend to differ greatly from Las Vegas casinos (and there are not many of those areas in practical terms) is in the dress code. In Las Vegas , most of the casinos do not have a dress code of any kind. There are a few that have a semi-formal dress code and even fewer that enforce a full formal dress code, but you will find that there are many more casinos in both categories within the boundaries of the Macau area. If you want to have a good evening at your casino of choice without offending anyone, you should know the dress code of your casino beforehand. In general, there are four kinds you can choose from.
Formal Dress Code
A formal dress code is also known as a black tie dress code. This is a dress code that forces you to wear something formal before you enter the casino floor. Formal translates into a suit jacket and a tie although in some of the more stingy casinos it can mean a tuxedo and a bowtie for men and a formal evening gown for women. There are no casinos in Macau that enforce a completely formal dress code although there are higher class casinos in the area in which many people do choose voluntarily to wear a formal outfit. Most of the strict formal dress code casinos in the world can be found in Europe somewhere.
Semi-Formal Dress Code
A semi-formal dress code does not require a tuxedo nor does it require a tie. You can show up in a suit jacket with a t-shirt on underneath or you can show up in a smart collared shirt covered by a sweater. Basically anything that would work in a meeting at your office would work in a semi-formal style. There are actually not that many casinos in Macau that employ this dress code either, although there are more than you would find in Las Vegas .
Smart Casual Dress Code
This is essentially the no shirt, no shoes, no service dress code and it is really in this area that Las Vegas and Macau differ greatly. Smart casual is just a step below semi-formal and it basically implies that anything goes as long as it is tasteful. This means that you can dress in a t-shirt and shorts as long as they are plain colored and subdued, by bright and flashy insignia wear is out of the question. Most of the casinos in Macau subscribe to this particular dress code, whereas most of the casinos in Las Vegas do not.
No Dress Code
No dress code essentially implies that anything goes. You can wear any shirt, any bottom and any shoe/sock combination you want to and you will still be able to play inside the casino. This is the way most Las Vegas casinos operate in theory, although in practice most of them contain people that dress in a smart casual way. There are always younger people that dress in flashy clothing however and while this is allowed in Las Vegas , it will not be tolerated in Macau . Keep this in mind when deciding what to wear for your casino going adventure.
