looks a little "I had to come here for a conference but only packed my dress shoes" - ish. If you're trying to dress up then ok, beats sneakers. What else you got?

as far as black leather shoes, thats it. i guess i can order a pair on zappos right now but id rather save the $140 that im going to spend on new shoes and use it on gambling/something else there


but, if it looks silly i wouldnt mind investing in a pair of black loafers or something

All of those shoes are horrendous. You'll be in Vegas, go drop in at Neiman Marcus, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, or Tom Ford and get a pair of black loafers.

You would be throwing your money away on any one of those shoes. If you can't afford to spend at least $300, you aren't going to have any quality options. Tennis shoes are just fine in Vegas though; you can't get into the clubs, but a club is going to cost you $200-500 by the end of the night.

Those shoes from Zappos are AWFUL. Just wear the ones you already have and save up for some decent shoes down the road. Take a look at some of the WAYWRN threads to see what pops out to you. You can learn a lot by lurking here.

i have a few nice pairs of jeans, clarks desert boots for the day time, going to order another pair of regular sneakers to walk around in, have some nice button up shirts as well as a blazer
