Why are cowboy boots allowed in Vegas clubs, but other types of boots are not?
Most of the places on the Vegas strip are upscale, high-end clubs, restaurants, and casinos.
They want everyone to look the part, whether it be employees, management, or their guests. This is just the nature of the town. If it truly bothers you, we strongly suggest not going there at all.
What happens if you violate the dress code?
You are simply wasting your time and the time of everyone else in your group. That is because you probably will not be allowed in.
If you manage to pay somebody off to get in, you will look so out of place. Everyone else will be dressed up. You will stick out like a sore thumb.
It is possible to find less-strict clubs in Vegas?
If you search hard and long enough, it likely is possible. You might still want to wear your cowboy boots to these places so you will look very dapper.
Select a pair of boots that is finely made and spotless. You want them to be polished and elegant, not look like they are ready for the garbage pile.

The same rules apply to women as to men.
Women MAY wear western boots as long as they are not a work-style pair.
Again, they must look neat and polished. Boots that are ready for the junk heap are not permitted at all in Vegas. She must wear an outfit that is equally dressy and in no way trashy.
A lady can adorn herself in a nice dress or pantsuit. Also allowed are fine-looking slacks and an equally stunning top. Jeans or any kind of denim are NOT accepted at all.
As for leather outerwear such as bomber jackets or motorcycle jackets, it is up to the individual venue. The likely answer for those is NO.
