How to Pack for a Trip to Las Vegas
Packing for a trip to Las Vegas is simple: unless you're going to be in a formal business environment, think casual! Most casinos, shows and attractions are without a dress code, meaning you can wear whatever's comfortable at any time of the day or night. Of course, dressing up can be fun, too, so bring a few trendy outfits for a change of pace.

Check The Weather Channel Web page (weather.com) for a current forecast before you pack. In general, remember that it's hot in summer (the average is 107 degrees F in July) and cool in winter (the average is 58 degrees F in January).

Pack light fabrics for summer and include shorts, sandals and tank tops or T-shirts. This is acceptable attire almost everywhere in Las Vegas, including casinos and shows.

Plan to wear warmer clothes in winter, when nighttime temperatures can drop into the 30s. Be prepared for winter rains, which come primarily in December, January and February.
-
4
Take a good pair of walking shoes if you plan to walk around the Strip and see the sights. Throw in more stylish footwear for special evenings out or if you need formal business attire.

5
Be sure to include body lotion, moisturizer, lip balm and a good hair conditioner. The desert winds will dry out your skin and hair in a hurry, even in winter. Taking soothing eyedrops is also a good idea.

Tips & Warnings
Take a sweater if you're likely to get chilled in air-conditioned buildings.
Most Las Vegas casinos and shows do not have a dress code, but some of the more expensive restaurants might. Call and ask if you're worried about what to wear.
Take an umbrella even in summer, when thunderstorms may pop up in the afternoons.

If you like to gamble, perhaps a little too much at times, take advantage of the sites: Walk down the strip, take a double-decker bus or the tram (cheap 24-hour passes available), go window shopping (several malls within close proximity of the strip), and be sure to take advantage of your hotel's pool (some are quite extravagant; this is also a good time to enjoy a great book!). DO remember to take care of your skin and hair if you're not accustomed to the "dessert sun and winds." -

Pack away a bottle of fabric refresher. Very useful when you end up with a non-nonsmoking room, and for your clothes that you may not be able to change out of during the day. You can always use smaller squirt bottles for a purse, pocket, or fanny pack to keep a smaller amount of fabric refresher with you throughout the day.
