My daughter is a sophomore in college and very earthy. She lives in jeans, wool sox, cardigans...Her friends have convinced her that she needs a "clubbing" outfit. (even her gay guy friend says this!!)We went to H&M and found a silk top. We'll see if she actually wears it. I don't think there is a dress code per se in Minneapolis but there seems to be peer pressure for my daughter.

You can get into most bars in jeans and sneakers. As for clubs - it varies a lot. And while trendy jeans are acceptable most places - they need to be paired with a trendy silk top and great shoes to get into some of the better places (cleaning out the garage wear simply will not do).

I'd say your group should talk it over and figure out which clubs you might want to go to. Some of them do have dress codes, and as a general rule you'll have to wait in line for awhile to get into any of them. You don't want to wait an hour to find out they won't let you in. Don't plan on club-hopping all night, because you'll spend more time in line than in the clubs. Pick one (or two) a night and stay there.

The big, new, trendy clubs (both dance clubs and lounges) are very, very fashion conscious, and a lot of the women DO look like the ones on tv. (Ghost Bar, Rain, Tangerine, Studio 54, etc.) Jeans are pretty much standard but accesorized with a lot of glam: slinky tops, heels, etc.
On weekend nights, the scene (and prices) are like what you would find in Manhattan, LA, or Miami. If those types of clubs are not your style, there's a wide range of bar/club options that are more casual.

Many of the trendier, upsscale clubs do have dress codes, although some are vague. "Dress to impress" or "Trendy chic" may be hard to interpret, and may mean if you are hot enough your jeans are OK, but on me they might not work.
As a rule, men need collars, no tennis shoes or shorts for the trendier clubs
Looking good will help you get in the door at the hotter clubs, too.
I am old school, though and when we go to Vegas my husband brings a suit, or at least a better shirt and tie and sport coat, and I break out the little black dresses. At least for us, this is part of the Vegas thing. I remember when you didn't go down to the hotel casinos in stretch pants, cutoffs or stained white wife beaters.

Definitely a dress code in Vegas. I think I paid $20 once to get in to Rum Jungle at Mandalay Bay and $25 at the Studio 54 at MGM. Dress to impress baby! 
I definitely don't recommend wearing jeans. People look very stylish in Vegas.

Maybe you can dress up those jeans, but it doesn't mean you'll get in. I have a friend who used to work as a doorman for a former trendy hotspot in L.A., (one of those places with no address and no sign). Even though there was no official dress code (Dress to Impress was their policy) he was told in no uncertain terms by his employers, they didn't care if it was Cameron Diaz (this was about 5 years ago and she was the flavor of the month at the time), no denim through those front doors.
