rags or riches
There are two disciplines of thought in playing here to ponder. One is that counters look hungry and dress with a baseball cap as not to be ided or a good picture. The other is if you sit at a higher stakes table you want to look the part. If I had the money to sit at a higher stakes table I would act and dress like money is no problem. You have to take your age and few other things into account when dressing the part. If I had a wad of c notes but was dressed like a bum than you will be treated as such. If you dress like a gentleman you usually will be treated as such. Casinos are less likely to hassle a well dressed person than someone of lesser means. blackchipjim

It mostly depends on the act I'm planning on using. It also depends on how others are dressed. For the traveling salesman/man of vice act, a disheveled jacket and tie is the ticket. If I want to look a little bit mentally disturbed, the Aqualung costume comes out. Stoned: grossly temperature inappropriate clothing.
I like a collared shirt and jeans. Maybe a plain T-shirt. Wear a nice watch/gold chains if you want to try to look rich. Look like you're going to play golf; you're on vacation, but you don't look like a total hobo.
The other option is a nice jogging suit, and some gold chains. Go for the drug dealer look. Maybe an oversized jersey. Expect to not get asked what you do for a living...

This is what I do... GO COMFORTABLE. Lets face it, the casino can be cold, it is generally smokey, you may be there for a while. I have found on so many occasions you can't tell someone's means by their attire. Generally look presentable, be polite, and wear a nice watch... The subtle touches generally get noticed the strongest.
Depends.
You want to fit in with the crowd.Obviously you'll dress different for the El Cortez than the Mirage.
When you get to the point where you need camo,then you can research which conventions are in town and try to fit in with them.An Armani suit may blend in with the medical malpractice crowd but stick out during Rodeo week(which seems to be every other month or so).
Wearing Blackbelt in Blackjack tshirts is always a fashion faux pas.

The key to most of these answers
Fit in. Fit in for both the casino and for the bet level. Also if it is a special time in Vegas, say Rodeo, get yourself a Stetson, the right clothing and either a little accent or a story about how you grew up in New York, Boston, Chicago etc, always loved cowboy stuff and now take in the rodeo and ambiance of it most years.
Get something a little sleasy but still looking fairly expense if you are in town during a porno convention.
Just disappear in the crowd, be invisible at least at first glance. And yes, go to the thrift store if you must play at the Western and to make your act really effective, see if you can panhandle your buyin in front of the joint:grin:
