So you’re off to Vegas on a wild weekend with the lads? What kind of preparation do you need to put in to make sure that you’re ready for the casinos, dressed to impress and prepared for any eventuality? Luckily, as the saying goes, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but it’s worth going the extra mile to look good, feel good and be ready to gamble good when you reach one of the most glamorous, exciting and action packed cities in the world.

It’s always best to get your casino moves down to a tee before you hit the Bellagio. After all, you want to Clooney-esque, not clueless. If you’re not a regular gambler in real life, then make sure you know the rules of Texas Hold Em and have your gameplay sorted. The best way to do this is to spend a few hours practicing online – somewhere like WinaGames will work. That way you know you’ll be hitting the tables ready to face your opponents – and maybe even ready to win a bit of cash.

So you’ve got your game on, but what about your real ‘game’? Looking like you can take on Vegas is important – for your self confidence and to intimidate your opponents. Oh, and to wow the ladies, of course. After all, you’re not going to be spending the whole of your time in Vegas glued to the gambling tables. With the nightlife, clubs, restaurants, bars and casinos to explore, there will be plenty of time to impress whoever you should meet with your smooth style.

First, get your grooming perfect. Depending on your personal style, there are a number of haircuts you could choose to spruce up your look. It’s always a good idea to take some inspiration from those who do it best – the most stylish men in the world are often those who stick with a twist on a classic style.

There is no other guy who best sums up the suave old school style of the Rat Pack, yet with a timelessly modern twist as George Clooney. He ruled Vegas in the Ocean’s Eleven trilogy and is a style icon you can trust. Model your hair on him and you won’t be going far wrong.

If you’re less classic and more into your tattoos and following trends then checking out Beckham’s current style will mean you have a trustworthy style barometer from which to work. He always looks good, no matter how he styles his hair.

Or, if you’re rather more quirky than classic but still want to rock it with style, then someone like Robert Downey Jr. or Johnny Depp should be your inspiration. Never afraid to stand out from the followers of fashion, both these guys manage to stay cool, suave and very sexy without losing their own individuality.

As well as the hair on your head, consider the hair on your face. Beards have never been more ‘in’ but the style that works best on you will depend on your face shape and personal style. Rock a beard if you possibly can though – the ladies love it and it’ll give you a rock and roll edge.

And finally, as part of your preparation – get the clothes right. Even if you have never worn a suit in your life, make sure you get yourself one. Strutting round the casinos will feel way more cool if you go smart, you go purposeful and you go looking and feeling your best.
