Resort casual dress gets you into every venue at night too. Some people like to add a jacket, or when celebrating a special occasion, get all decked out. This too is welcome. And if you're tired from a long fun day and just want to wear shorts - that is fine. It's your vacation so dress comfortably and you'll find a venue that suits your style.
