Hi Dark,
Ug...No offense, but going to a casino with a dress code is for total
snobs. The people who dress up in suits, tuxes, etc are usually rich
snobs who look down on everyone else as peons. Not saying you are a
snob, but if you walk into a casino here in the U.S. in a suit or tux
people are going to label you as a snob because the way you are dressed,
and you will stick out like a sore thumb.
The casinos I've been to are the working class casinos where pretty much
everyone dresses up in a t-shirt and blue jeans. A guy walking into one
of those casinos dressed up in a tux acting like James Bond is going to
be an outcast, because people will assume you are rich or a poor snob
trying to act rich. In either case not your kind of joint. :D
Of course, I have heard of some casinos with that kind of dress code,
but they also tend to attract bankers, wealthy businessmen, lawyers,
etc. People with serious amounts of money which I doubt you or I could
afford to bet against. James Bond was intentionally set in that kind of
Casino simply because wealthy criminals liked to hang around people of
status rather than the working class people.
Cheers!

Hi jim.
I suppose for me the gambling element has never really been that much
of a draw in a game.
I've always fancied going to a propper casino, but that more for the
style, experience and over all ambience than anything else, ----
indeed I'd want! a casino with an actual dress code which demanded I
wear a tux, with all the trimmings mentioned in James bond.
Though gambling isn't illegal here in the Uk, I've never bothered,
sinse most of the so called Casino's I've seen are just glorified
amusement arcades with ranks of slot machines, which have never really
interested me past the age of about eight, indeed I used to get quite
resentfull sinse a lot of arcade steadily replaced their games like
ninja turtles, street fighter, mortal combat and soul blade with just
more and more slot machines, crane games and other pointless games of
chance that just existed to take people's money.
About the only really nice experience I got casino wise (which was
close to how I imagine a casino to be), was a charity evening my dad
and I got invited to at the local hospiss, which was in a stately
home, did have a dress code and had quite expensive tickits, (my dad
got an invite as after he retired he worked voluntarily as a nurse in
the hospiss).
it was actually really good fun, though I was a little sorry the money
wasn't real as I came out with about ten thousand pounds :D.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
