A Few Useful Tips
Just in case you were thinking about it, your costume must be a costume – nudity is not allowed in public.
You cannot wear a Halloween mask to any children’s event or to any casino
If your costume is the slightest bit questionable, just cover up until you get to your party
Be aware that face paint and masks are not permitted outside Las Vegas nightclubs, not are law enforcement or security uniforms or any toy or fake weapon. If you choose not to dress in a Halloween costume, you must comply with the dress code for your particular venue.
