The Ultimate Las Vegas Packing List

Most people fold and stuff their belongings into suitcases. However, there’s a more efficient way to pack. Use packing cubes and toiletry bags when getting ready for Vegas. Toiletry bags help prevent lotions and other liquids from leaking onto your suitcase and clothes. LL Bean’s Toiletry Bag is a must for any traveler. All of your favorites can fit, and this toiletry bag is specifically designed to be long-lasting.


To keep everything orgainzed, utilize packing cubes which help you fit more in your suitcase while keeping all your items neat.

These are the best clothes, shoes, and accessories to pack for Las Vegas.

Being comfortable is key on a Las Vegas trip since you’ll be in hot weather when you’re not cooling off with air conditioning. 


Bathing Suits: Bathing suits are a Las Vegas essential, especially if you’re staying at a hotel with a big pool party scene. For one-piece lovers, this La Blanca Swimsuit is eye-catching and a pure curve-hugger. Are you bikini obsessed? You’ll fall in love with Cupshe’s High Waist Tie-Dye Bikini. 


Swimsuit Cover-Up: No bathing suit is complete without a cover-up. A cover-up is a perfect way to transition your swimming attire into something appropriate for an indoor lunch break. Try this Crochet Detailed Cover-Up if you prefer short cover-ups. Prefer long and flowy cover-ups? Elan’s Wrap Maxi Cover-Up will compliment any swimsuit. Get ready to take a million Instagram photos!


Casual Outfits: Chances are, you’re not going to walk around in your swimsuit all day and night. So make sure to pack casual outfits, with comfortable mix-and-match pieces like shorts, sundresses, and shirts. The goal is to stay cool and comfortable during your stay. 


Light Layers: Although temperatures outside may be hot, most casinos and hotels will have the air conditioning cranked up. Champion’s Unisex Packable Jacket can keep you from freezing indoors.

Dressy Shoes: If you’re planning on dining out at a nice restaurant or hitting the clubs, you’ll want to pack dressy shoes. For women, Sam Edelman’s Hazel Pointed Toe Pumps are stylish and comfortable. A pair of leather sneakers, like Cole Haan’s GrandPro Rally sneakers, will be a versitile choice for men.


Sandals/Flip Flops: Nothing ruins the party faster than sore feet. You’ll want extra comfy sandals like Birkenstocks or Croc Sandals for walking around during the day. A pair of flip-flops will also be your best friend for any Vegas pool party you plan to attend.

Earplugs/Sleep Mask: Las Vegas is the world's party capital. It’s only fitting that it’ll be noisy 24/7. If your hotelmates are particularly rowdy, you’ll be glad you packed some earplugs. A sleep mask can also help if you get back to your room after sunrise. 
Sun Hat: Sitting in the heat all day can take a toll on your body, and you’ll want to be comfortable. A sun hat to block sun rays can make all the difference. Lay out at the pool comfortably with a stylish sun hat or cooling bucket hat. 
Lip Balm: The dry Las Vegas air can cause chapped lips, so don’t forget to pack a soothing lip balm.
Lotion: Dry skin is no match for Aveeno’s Moisturizing Lotion. This hydrating lotion is fragrance-free and a good choice for sensitive skin.
