The Hippodrome Casino maintains a smart-casual dress policy that balances comfort with elegance. While formal evening wear is not required, the venue expects guests to present a polished appearance that respects the historic building and other patrons.
Entry teams check attire at the main doors. Denim, sportswear, and overly casual items are turned away during evening hours. The policy applies to all gaming floors, restaurants, and bars.
