Quick answer
Smart casual is the standard. Majestic Pride's published terms say formal or smart casual and ban shorts, sleeveless t-shirts, flip-flops and sandals for men. Bally's visitors report smart casual too. Other venues have no written policy we could find.

Frequently asked questions
Can I wear shorts or slippers?
Not at Majestic Pride (men: no shorts, flip-flops or sandals). Bally's reviewers also advise against shorts and slippers, although one says nobody is stopped. Wear long trousers and closed shoes to be safe.
Can I just look around without playing?
Bally's reviewers say you register at the front desk with your passport, get a free casino card and can walk the floor. This is unofficial (not yet confirmed).
Can I take photos inside?
No photography or videography on the gaming floors at Majestic Pride. Assume the same elsewhere.
