Las Vegas is known around the world as Party Central for Halloween (and just about every other occasion you can think of), so it’s not surprising that Sin City also provides great inspiration when it comes to Halloween costumes!
If you’re like us, you’ve waited until the last minute to choose a Halloween costume, so here are 20 costumes inspired by the greatest city on Earth, Las Vegas.
1. Just as 'Jubilee!' never goes out of style, dressing up like a showgirl is always a hit, too. Bonus accessory: 30-pound headpiece.
See Don Arden’s Jubilee! at Bally’s Las Vegas.
2. Our hero, Lucky, the beloved spokes-leprechaun for O'Sheas. Bonus accessory: Pot o' gold.

5. Elvis or Big Elvis, take your pick. Bonus accessory: Hound dog.
Big Elvis performs at Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall & Saloon.
Don a Caesar costume, and the world is yours. This statue, as well as a bazillion others, can be found at Caesars Palace.

14. Sleazo the Clown in 'Freaks.' Bonus accessory: Staple gun.
Everybody loves an evil clown, and the “Freaks” show at O’Sheas had one. (Note: “Freaks” is no longer at O’Sheas. Sigh. Doesn’t mean you can’t still be a freak in Vegas on Halloween!) Why a staple gun? Well, those cards are actually stapled to Sleazo.

This opens up a whole world of costume possibilities. Choose your favorite casino game, and start the brainstorming! Dice, cards, slot machines, roulette wheels…they’re all fodder for creative costumes.

And so we went to Vegas…. This costume was made for a local Halloween Party that was giving away a free trip to Las Vegas as the grand prize, so I thought what better way to win then to be Las Vegas so with Lady Luck by my side we took the grand prize.

The costume started out as a piece of plywood that I had cut into a horseshoe shape to make the base of the table, never using a saw before I had no idea what I was getting myself into! Now that the hard part was over I covered the plywood with green felt, added some straps and was ready to decorate my dealer table. Unfornately when I was trying the costume on I would only have it on for a minute or two to make sure it was sturdy, well it was sturdy all right but quite heavy as well so needless to say after walking around in it for a couple of hours I was ready for a chriopracter!
The top of the table consisted of gambling themed items from cards, dice, win a car, and Roulette along with some decorations such as two strobe lights and an ipod playing slot machine noises all night. Oh and I almost forgot the most important part of the table, the built in beverage holder for my beer of course!
