Las Vegas is known around the world as Party Central for Halloween (and just about every other occasion you can think of), so it’s not surprising that Sin City also provides great inspiration when it comes to Halloween costumes!

If you’re like us, you’ve waited until the last minute to choose a Halloween costume, so here are 20 costumes inspired by the greatest city on Earth, Las Vegas.

Everybody loves an evil clown, and the “Freaks” show at O’Sheas had one. (Note: “Freaks” is no longer at O’Sheas. Sigh. Doesn’t mean you can’t still be a freak in Vegas on Halloween!) Why a staple gun? Well, those cards are actually stapled to Sleazo.
