How To Pack For Your Las Vegas Trip
It can be disconcerting when deciding what to pack for a vacation. There are many things to consider, such as your itinerary; if you have chosen Las Vegas as your destination, we will help you through the packing process.
As reported in the US News, there were approximately 32 million visitors to Las Vegas in 2021. The weather is one of the main factors on vacation; when visiting Vegas tourist attractions on a hot sunny day, it will be shorts and t-shirts, whereas, for an evening in a chic hotel, you will want an outfit that is smart, stylish, and elegant. A hat is essential when out in the sun, but evenings can turn chilly so take a lightweight jacket or shawl. What footwear to pack is a challenge; for trekking in the desert or walking down Sunset Strip, sensible walking shoes, but for those glamorous evening events, a pair of heels to match a dress or nice shoes to go with your dinner suit.
The multiple conferences and trade shows held in the city attract many exhibitors and visitors alike. Las Vegas is a very diverse city where you can visit a busy casino to play poker or see a spectacular variety show at one of the theatres. If you indulge in some retail therapy, consider this when packing, as you will need to leave room for your purchases.
With those ideas loosely planted in your mind, here are four essentials for your Las vegas trip.
A Stylish Suit for Warm Weather
Some fancier clubs and casinos have a dress code for the evenings. Shorts and sneakers are not allowed, so you will need a smart, stylish, lightweight suit, preferably not black, or you may be mistaken for a staff member. However, some events require a black tie, white shirt, and black dress suit, so check your venue’s dress code before you pack. Being well-dressed can boost your self-esteem, and people will regard you as professional and confident, a big advantage when in a top casino.
Elegant Evening Outfits
Wearing a long evening gown or bright cocktail dress is one way to fit in with the crowd in Las Vegas clubs, restaurants, and upmarket locations; match this with a pair of elegant snazzy heels you will feel a million dollars. Do bear in mind when packing how far you will be walking and choose a comfortable pair of shoes or perhaps take a pair of dressy sandals to change into when your feet need a rest. The evening sometimes turns cool, so adding a shawl or cape around your shoulders is a good idea.
Sensible Walking Boots
One popular area outside of Vegas is called Red Rock Canyon, which is one of the top things to do in Las Vegas when you are done gaming. There are loads of walks and trails to be followed when visiting this area of natural beauty, but some of the terrain is testing with a maze of canyons, hills, and ledges for you to explore. With that in mind, you will need to pack a good durable pair of walking boots. Boulders and sheer rock faces attract many visitors and provide plenty of opportunities for climbing, but you can’t do that in your elegant evening gown!
Bathing Suits
As well as visiting the stunning Vegas lake beaches, a swimming pool is a great place to relax, swim and soak up the sun during your vacation. Las Vegas boasts many hotels that have beautiful world-renowned pools. We advise you to take at least two bathing suits, one for the cooler evenings when you can submerge yourself in a rooftop jacuzzi while looking over the city lights, or don a bright, stylish two-piece suit for a summer pool party. Whatever your taste in swimwear, these are essential items for any vacation and fit easily into your luggage.
