Money / Credit Cards, Las Vegas

Photo Equipment: Batteries, bring enough. They might be pricey within hotels. Check out CVS Pharmacy nea Monte Carlo hotel or Walgreens near Gameworks. Prices are better at these places than within hotels/casinos.

Miscellaneous: Debit cards, take out money at home. ATM tellers can charge some crazy amounts for service fees. Always be prepared.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It's a cinch, whatever you packed to wear won't be hot enough, and you'll have to buy something a little sluttier to fit in.

Miscellaneous: Tons of makeup & hair styling stuff

Oh, and back-seam stockings, with that garter belt you've never worn before

Luggage and bags: Bring compact luggage, but bring extra space, because it's not hard to do a lot of shopping when you're in town.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring good shoes - you'll walk a lot. Dress casual, but bring an outfit or two for an evening out.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Just bring the bare essentials. Your hotel is probably within a stone's throw of a Walgreen's that has cheaper prices than the pharmacy in your home town.

Photo Equipment: I always bring a digital camera. A camcorder is nice too. Remember that flash photography is ineffective at over twelve feet. And don't take flash photos when you're in a show.

Miscellaneous: Bring a lot of dollar bills - you will need to tip everyone in sight. I was happy when I got bad service at a restaurant, so I didn't have to hand out more money!

Luggage and bags: Next to your gambling money keep your bank account numbers for easy access when you open up a line of credit with the casino.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Casual dress is accepted almost everywhere, but it's nice to dress up for a dinner show. If you forgot your swim suit there are plenty of shops to buy one in each of the hotels.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunscreen is a must.

Luggage and bags: Travel light - the more you have, the more you lose.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Most of the time it is very warm or hot during the day and cold at night (it is in a desert afterall).

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Nothing special.

Photo Equipment: No special needs.

Miscellaneous: Watch your money - use concealment pouches or pockets.

Luggage and bags: Bring as much or as little as you like. Most hotels have free shuttles from the airport to your hotel.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfy shoes & cool clothing. Dress up for dinner. All shows are semi-formal.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: This is the US. Anything you forget at home you can find here. There's a Walgreen's right on the strip.

Photo Equipment: A camera is nifty, but the buildings are SO big, it's hard to get each building into one shot!

Miscellaneous: One word: MONEY!!! Ya gotta spend it to make it, baby.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: What to wear

Comfortable shoes for walking. You're gonna be crusing the strip during the day, and it's loooooong. Not to mention that the casino floors are huge.
Your best flashy clothes, and I mean something sharp, like so cool you could only wear it in Vegas or maybe New York.
Sunglasses, it's bright out there during the day, and you'll look like a superstar indoors at night, or pretentious.

What not to wear

Pajamas, you won't be sleeping.
Black socks with shorts, 'nuff said.


Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Hangover remedies, my personal preference being Alka Seltzer just before passing out, I mean bedtime.

Photo Equipment: Skip the camera, someone else has taken better shots than you ever could. Plus, who needs to worry about a camera with all that's going on?

Miscellaneous: To make the most of your trip you must have:

Cash, greenbacks, moola
Credit Card
ATM Card
Lack of self control


To survive with your soul intact, must-avoid-at-all-cost items:

Cash, greenbacks, moola
Credit Card
ATM Card
Lack of self control

Luggage and bags: Bring a small carry on, or maybe check it in now since they search most carry ons at the airport now...

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Swim trunks, toothbrush, clothes to go out in, etc...

Miscellaneous: Lots of $$$$
Oh....If you plan on drinking a lot of alcohol it's not a bad idea to go to a 7-11 and get some OJ or bottled water (for the morning after all the festivities). Otherwise, you'll fall for hotel fridge drinks in your room that cost a @$@#$ fortune! Sometimes one can be pretty thirsty the next morning....
