Las Vegas packing list
- Vegas packing is desert heat outside and strong air-conditioning inside—layers win over a single dressy look.
- You will walk farther than the hotel map suggests; broken-in shoes matter more than new heels for the whole trip.
- Pack one show or dinner outfit if you have tickets—not a different look for every night.
