Getting Past the Door at Tailgate Beach Club

Tailgate Beach Club is a dayclub, so the code is swimwear-forward, but the door still turns people away. The rules above are specific to Tailgate Beach Club; the safe play anywhere on the Strip is to dress up rather than down, keep shoes clean and skip anything athletic. When in doubt, a collared shirt and dark jeans for men and a stylish dress or top for women clears the door at almost every room in town.

For the full Strip-wide breakdown, the men's and women's rules, the "3 shoe rule" and what every major club allows, see our Las Vegas nightclub dress code guide. Meeting the code is also the fastest way through the line when you are on our guest list.
