Being invited to the Captain's reception should be considered an honor and one shows respect by adhering to a dress code. One does not wear a tuxedo to a rodeo, a tank top to a job interview, a t shirt to a funeral, etc. Dress throughout Las Vegas has deteriorated. I also hardly wear ties any more but I think there are certain times it might be best.
My personal feeling is that men should buy at least a classic navy blue blazer and a dress shirt. This is certainly not uncomfortable and wearing it over a tan, grey, or navy blue slacks gives the appearance of being dressed up but still being comfortable. A dress shirt with or without a tie also adds to the ensemble. Most ladies like to dress up for special occasions and they feel better when their escort is also dressed properly.
