Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: weather in las vegas can be extreme like in any deserts. it can be really hot in the day and somewhat cold in the night so if you are walking around the vegas area during the day, bring sunglasses to protect you from the glare and sunblock so that you'r skin will not get sunburned moreso if you are taking a dip from the various swimming pools in the hotels of las vegas. Dont forget to bring a baseball cap too to shield your head and face from the burning effects of the sun hence these stuffs are a must if you are going to vegas and plan to walk around during the day.

Miscellaneous: Bring a sports bottle or some such with you. Fill with ice and water before you leave the hotel. Humidity is like 8% here and you will dehydrate before you know it. Bottled water is EXPENSIVE on the strip and often hard to find. We have had several friends come into town and we always run to Wal-mart and pick up one of those fannypacks with the two water bottles for like $10 so they will have a place for their wallet and a place for the bottles.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Sneakers a must...

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: The two most important things to bring to Las Vegas is Sunglasses and Sunscreen. Been there in the height of summer was quite a shock esp since coming from New Zealand, I had never felt heat like that before...hot...dry...the great thing about walking down the Strip is they have huge fans blowing out mist to cool you down.

Miscellaneous: Bottled water... you can never get enough of water in that heat !

Luggage and bags: Make sure that you take a small bag so that you can keep your sun lotion with you....you will need it!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Make sure that you take comfortable shoes with you as you will be walking all day! You don't want any blisters!
Vegas is HOT outside but inside the hotels/casinos are air conditioned, so you need to strike a balance for being outside as well as in!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring shorts and short sleave shirts in summer!

Miscellaneous: Sunscreen is a must if you visit in the summer! You are usually walking from casino to casino and the weather is almost always over 90 degress in the summer.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: We had a jeep and we drove with the top down, bring a hat if you plan to do the same!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunscreen!

Photo Equipment: Cameras and fast film(if you haven't gone digital yet) to capture those wonderful Las Vegas lights! If you have an SLR don't foget your polarizer filter for the desert shots.

Miscellaneous: Bring water. It's very hot, you don't want to get dehydrated.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: From May to October, Las Vegas is almost always sunny and hot. You definitely need sunglasses and sunscreen while you are there. That sun will roast you in a matter of minutes there.

Photo Equipment: Cameras are alaways a must.

Miscellaneous: Air conditioning is definitely a necessity here.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfortable shoes to walk down "The Strip"

Miscellaneous: Sunglasses even in the winter, sunlight could be bright even the temperature is low. Eye drops are also recommended, humidity is not too good for contact lenses wearers (sometimes!).

Luggage and bags: Not many rooms have refrigerators, so bring a small cooler or pick a cheap styrophoam one up at the local convenience store so you can keep your beverages on ice.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Day time / Walking off that hangover: Comfortable shoes, cotton or silk shirts, dark sunglasses, and plenty of bottled water.
Nightlife / party-time: Hipster clothing, no jeans for guys.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Lotion, Lotion and more Lotion. During the day, make sure the lotion has SPF 15 or greater. At night, make sure it smells nice.
The air is dry here folks, you don't want to look/feel like an alligator.

Photo Equipment: Camera phone is the best utility for the partygoer. You can let all your friends back home know what kind of fun you're having or lure your gambling buddy into the club by showing him/her all the debauchery. Just remember, what happens in vegas, stays in vegas!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Unless your familiar with Lake Mead, all hotel pools come equipped with chaise lounges and cocktail servers. So bikinis, oil, shades and $$ are all you need.

Miscellaneous: If it is at all possible, bring some of your own bottled water with you to Las Vegas. It is very hot and dry there and it's very important to stay hydrated. Water tends to be expensive in Las Vegas (especially if you buy it at a hotel store), so bringing your own is cost-effective. If you can't bring your own water, stock up at a local liquor store (less expensive) at the beginning of your trip. Keep them in your hotel room and take one with you whenever you're out walking around the strip.
