Can anyone tell me the relevance of the scene in Casino where deNiro gets the call from his receptionist that the cowboy councillor has arrived to request he keeps his brother on and...he stands up and goes put his trousers back on?? Just seems a bit strange?!

Haven't you seen Seinfeld? It's so he doesn't crease his pants!

It has no significance at all if that's what you're asking.

It let's the viewer see how particular Ace was even with stuff like that.

Exactly. I think I heard Nick Pileggi or Deniro explain that once. Apparently Lefty Rosenthal actually did that. He'd take off his pants while he was sitting at his desk so he wouldn't wrinkle them.

Wardrobe juxtaposition. DeNiro with the '70's disco baby blue and knee high socks, County Commissioner Webb with his brown western get up. It was to show how flashy the big city Chicago guys were compared to the Nevada yokels.

Notice when Webb is finally let in to Ace's office the camera zooms on his shoes.
