One of the challenges of taking part in all Las Vegas has to offer on Halloween is coming up with a costume. We’ve got this! We’ve scoured Fremont Street and downtown for some serious Las Vegas Halloween costume inspiration. We hope these costume ideas spark your imagination, and we’ll see you at Fremont Street Experience on Halloween!

1. Prospector

This iconic prospector adorns a gift shop at Fremont Street Experience. He’s been photographed hundreds of thousands of times and harkens back to a time in Nevada’s history when, apparently, people panned for light bulbs. Feeling inspired yet?

2. Chumlee from “Pawn Stars”

The History Channel’s “Pawn Stars” has been a cultural phenomenon, and downtown’s Gold & Silver Pawn shop have become a popular tourist destination.The show’s loveable goofball, Chumlee (Austin Russell), doesn’t take himself too seriously and has a distinctive sense of fashion, making him great fodder for a Halloween costume.

3. SlotZilla

You’ll be the talk of Halloween if you stroll the Fremont Street Experience dressed as downtown’s newest thrill ride attraction, the SlotZilla zip line. Sure, it’ll take some work to construct your costume, but it’s Halloween, so go for it. You might get candy.

4. Shark

What does a shark have to do with downtown Las Vegas? Well, it just so happens the Golden Nugget’s pool boasts a massive shark tank, complete with a water slide through it. Golden Nugget offers tours of The Tank, too. Learn more.

5. Elvis

The quintessential Las Vegas Halloween costume, all year round. While Elvis isn’t specifically a downtown thing, we certainly have our fair share of Elvi, so we claim him. For inspiration, catch a new tribute show, “Spirit of the King: Steve Connolly,” at Four Queens.

6. Dancing DJ

Dancing DJs have become a popular fixture at Fremont Street Experience. Their outfits tend to be on the skimpy side, so dressing as a dancing DJ can be a low-cost alternative as a Halloween costume.

7. Glittery Slipper

This twinkling slipper on Fremont East was inspired by another famous Las Vegas sign for the now-closed Silver Slipper casino. The rotating ruby slipper is one of several sign replicas that make a great downtown photo op. Pull this one off and the Halloween costume contest is yours!

8. Sexy Nurse

Downtown has a special claim to sexy nurses thanks to the Heart Attack Grill at Neonopolis, near the SlotZilla zip line tower. Hostesses and waitresses dress as health care workers, and services often include customer spankings. Only in Las Vegas!

9. Carl “Safe-Sax” Ferris

Carl Ferris, who plays saxophone pretty much nightly outside Binion’s, is a Fremont Street Experience institution. If you dress as Carl, be prepared to field song requests and offers to purchase your CDs.

10. Million Dollars in Cash

Speaking of Binion’s, head in the casino and you can have a free photo taken with a million dollars in cash. What a great Halloween costume idea, though! Here’s how you make this costume. Step 1: Get a million dollars in cash. Step 2: Stack your cash into a pyramid. Step 3: Climb inside. Step 4: Encase yourself in plexiglass. Step 5: Let tourists take free photos with you. Best Las Vegas-themed Halloween costume, ever. Except for the other 19 costumes on this list, of course.

11. Oscar Goodman

Former mayor Oscar Goodman is, and will always be, “The Man” in Las Vegas. During his time as mayor, whenever Oscar Goodman appeared in public, he had two showgirls on his arms and a martini in his hand. ‘Nuff said.

12. Showgirl

Showgirls are a symbol of Las Vegas around the world. So, break out your glue gun, get a truckload of sequins and get to work. A key part of going as a showgirl for Halloween is mastering the “bevel.” That’s the bent position of a showgirl’s leg when she’s posing. (See the showgirls above for reference.) Also needed for your showgirl costume: Feathers, crystal rhinestones and sass.

13. Praying Mantis

The Downtown Container Park, a shopping center made from shipping containers, has a distinctive, fire-breathing praying mantis outside. The Downtown Container Park is just one of many things to do in Las Vegas.

14. Chippendales

The world-famous Chippendales have some representatives downtown, at the Photo Magic kiosk on Fremont Street Experience. These hunky guys pose for photos with visitors, showing off their trademark bowties and cuffs. So, guys, hit the gym, get your Chippendales accessories and we expect you’ll be very, very popular on Halloween night.

15. Dancing Bartenders and Dealers

There’s no shortage of eye candy on Fremont Street! The lovely go-go bartenders and dealers at The D Las Vegas create buzz every night of the week. The dancing bartenders and dealers at The D wear uniforms of black and red, and the go-go bartenders and dealers at the nearby Golden Gate stick with basic black.

16. Brass Boar

The Boar’s Head Bar at downtown’s Main Street Station is home to an impressive brass boar. This huge brass boar is from Nice, France, and was originally part of a fountain. Main Street Station is filled with antiques and curiosities that can serve as inspiration for your Halloween costume, so stroll around, and make sure to get a “Guide to Artifacts, Antiques and Artworks” at the hotel’s front desk. When you’re making your boar costume, pay special attention to the lower tusks, also called “cutters.”

17. Mobster

It’s no secret the history of Las Vegas is a colorful one. There’s more than a little color on display at downtown’s wildly popular Mob Museum, just a couple of blocks from Fremont Street Experience. This museum is bursting with stories of “made men” and the law enforcement officials who took them down. Take your pick of gangsters like “Bugsy” Siegel, Tony “The Ant” Spilotro, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal and others, but remember, getting mobbed up has its perils. Just ask “Bugsy.

18. Slushy Drink Cups

Fremont Street is known for its Viva Vision light show, sure, but it’s also known for being a street party like no other, including guests enjoying frosty beverages from distinctive receptacles in the shapes of footballs, boots and even human legs. If you’re feeling ambitious, try making a costume inspired by one of these shapes, or come up with one of your own.

19. Cowgirl Dealer

The dealers in the Cowgirl Pit at Binion’s make gambling fun, no matter what surprises Lady Luck might have in store. Required for your Binion’s cowgirl outfit: Cowgirl hat, lace and a BeDazzler, assuming those are still a thing.

20. Vegas Vic

Vegas Vic is one of the most recognizable symbols of downtown Las Vegas, Fremont Street Experience and Las Vegas. He has a long and storied history, including being built in 1951 for the Pioneer Club (now a gift shop), and his original “Howdy Podner” greeting. That sound effect was silenced in 1966 when actor Lee Marvin complained about it being too loud during the filming of his movie, “The Professionals.” The voice of Vegas Vic, by the way, was Zack Hale Jr. Read more. Vic’s arm stopped waving in 1991, but his charm still makes visitors feel welcome on Fremont Street. Your Vegas Vic costume will have to include a wide-brimmed cowboy hat (at a rakish angle), red bandana, checkered shirt, blue pants, boots with spurs and generous amounts of neon.

If you don’t have a solid idea for your Las Vegas Halloween costume by now, you might be lacking the Halloween costume gene! We won’t judge. It’s Vegas, after all.

We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas for Halloween!

Best Halloween costumes 2014 – from Vegas showgirl to Ken Uston



Halloween is the night to bring out your wild side. We’ve got some great costume ideas If you’re planning to party away the evening at the nearest casino!

Halloween is that special day of the year that brings out the creative side in each of us. Whether that means spooky, hilarious, sexy or downright disgusting, October 31stgives us to chance to reveal our alter ego, if only for a day.

If you’re anything like us, you’re planning to spend Halloween night at the casino with your closest friends, losing yourself in good company, food and drink, and of course, the table games.

For those of you planning to wear a costume to the casino (be aware that most gaming establishments ban the wearing of masks, and some have fairly strict dress codes), we’ve compiled a list of the best, brightest and weirdest ideas.

#1: Vegas showgirl

This costume works best if you’re actually in Vegas, but there’s nothing wrong with bringing a bit of sultry excitement to the local casino or bingo hall as well. This fantastic costume is both sexy and classy.

If you really want to get it right, develop a persona to go along with the costume. Think of a good backstory, maybe even an accent.

For example: you’re a small-town girl from Pennsylvania who came out to Vegas to experience the glitz and glamour. While you make a living in the entertainment business, your dream is to become a professional card counter.

Like the other ideas on this list, the more creative and diligent you are, the better. But this one is bound to catch the admiration and attention of a lot of people on the casino floor. It could even be part of a winning strategy at the blackjack table.

#2: Sheldon Adelson

Many of us enjoy dressing up as our favorite celebrity for Halloween, and there’s nothing more appropriate than going as the biggest name in the world of casino gambling.

Our suggestion? Wear a fancy tuxedo (but not too classy, as Adelson doesn’t have great fashion sense for someone with a $40 billion fortune), dye your hair orange, and wear a hideous, shriveled mask. If you can’t find an appropriate mask, apply makeup until your face looks as if it’s about to fall off.

This will be especially funny if you visit a casino that Adelson owns, such as the Las Vegas Sands or Venetian Sands. Just don’t look too much the real thing, the staff may ask for a raise!

#3: James Bond

Maybe you were expecting something a bit spookier, but the man dressed in the black tuxedo, white shirt and bowtie is the ultimate casino gambler. Handsome, witty, daring and skilled in everything from blackjack strategy to poker to baccarat, what better way to make a positive impression?

But be sure to get a shower, shave and haircut before heading to the casino (Bond never looked like a scrub), and brush up on your British accent. And remember, the martini is “shaken, not stirred.”

Don’t attempt to pull off this costume unless you actually have skills at gambling. James Bond never lost at the casino, and neither should you. Anything less would be giving a bad name to one of the greatest film characters in history.

#4: A wearable casino

What could be a more appropriate casino-themed costume than an actual casino? You can make the exterior of your favorite casino (Monte Carlo, Sands Venetian, City of Dreams, etc.) out of cardboard, paint and whatever other creative materials you can get your hands on.

Next up, decorate yourself with cards, chips and dollar bills (real or fake, depending on the size of your bankroll). This costume will require some creative genius to pull off correctly, but it’s certain to make a splash.

#5: Sexy croupier

Let’s be real, people. Most women use Halloween as an excuse to get away with wearing the skimpiest outfit imaginable without being scoffed at or criticized. The sexy croupier outfit kills two birds with one stone: it’s about as sexy as costumes get, in addition to being about as casino-themed as a costume can be.

You can’t imagine how delighted the actual croupier will be when you sit down to the blackjack table. If you’re really nostalgic, you may want to go all in or the 1950s blackjack dealer outfit, the classiest and sexiest costume imaginable.

This idea goes for men as well, the only difference is that you may want to choose a costume that isn’t quite so revealing. Who knows, you may even be offered a job by the end of the night!

Poker Dealer Costume

#6: Blackjack legend Ken Uston

Casino Dealer Costume Ideas

This is a witty costume that only a blackjack strategy geek will understand. But it’s bound to be caught by some fellow players. The only downside is it could tip off the pit boss that you’re using a card counting system!

Uston was considered one of the world’s greatest card counters in his time, and having been kicked out of every casino in Atlantic City, he resorted to wearing ingenious disguises and assumed personalities.

Uston played everything from Texas oil man to Italian aristocrat. The only character he didn’t play, was himself. Wearing a Ken Uston costume to the casino this Halloween is the perfect way to pay homage to this blackjack pioneer.
