What to Pack for a Summer Trip to Las Vegas

Las Vegas in summer

Hey there, jet-setters! Whether you’re hitting the Strip for a night out, lounging by the pool, or venturing into the mystical Valley of Fire, I’ve got you covered with what to pack for a summer trip to Las Vegas. Let’s dive into the essentials for a glamorous and adventure-packed Vegas vacation.

1. Sizzling Outfits for Nights on the Strip:

  • โœจ Mini Dress: Show off those curves and catch the neon lights in a jaw-dropping dress.
  • ๐Ÿ’ƒ Strappy Jumpsuit: Because why not make a grand entrance wherever you go?
  • ๐Ÿ‘  Comfortable Heels: Strut your stuff in stylish heels that won’t kill your feet after a night of dancing.
  • Leather Jacket: The desert can get cool at night depending on which part of the summer you’re in. Never hurts to have one.

2. Poolside Perfection:

  • ๐Ÿ‘™ Trendy Swimsuit(s): It’s going to be hot, so you’ll spend a lot of time at the pool. Pack a variety for those Insta-worthy pool snaps.
  • ๐Ÿ˜Ž Oversized Sunglasses: Protect those peepers while looking effortlessly cool. I love these two from Amazon: Oversized and Aviators.
  • ๐ŸŒž Sunscreen: Trust me, a sunburn is not the souvenir you want from Vegas!

3. Valley of Fire Adventure Essentials:

  • ๐Ÿฅพ Comfortable Hiking Shoes: Get ready to explore the breathtaking landscapes in style. These Sorel hiking boots have been insanely comfortable as I’ve broken them in.
  • ๐ŸŽ’ Fanny Pack (or a Backpack): Pack snacks, and a big bottle of water for your Valley of Fire day trip. Consider an external phone battery to keep it charged for lots of photos. I love this oversized fanny pack from REI.
  • ๐Ÿงข Stylish Hat: Shield yourself from the desert sun while staying on point. I love Adidas black baseball caps.

4. Makeup Bag Must-Haves:

  • ๐Ÿ’„ Long-lasting Lipstick: Because your lips should be as bold as your Vegas plans. I love NYX Live Loud Liquid Lipstick. It lasts like nothing else I’ve tried!
  • ๐ŸŒŸ Glitter Eyeshadow: Embrace the sparkle โ€“ it’s Vegas, baby! This ColourPop liquid eyeshadow is my go-to when I’m performing. It’d really shine in Vegas.
  • ๐Ÿ“ธ Setting Spray and Powder: Keep that flawless look intact through day and night. Elf Setting Spray is my jam.
  • Lashes: Give your makeup something special, but don’t worry about them melting off. I love the iENVY by KISS Cluster lashes because they don’t require glue.
  • Thigh Chafe Stick: Just as important as deodorant, this will SAVE your thighs and anywhere else you might chafe in the Vegas heat.

5. Tech Essentials:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Portable Charger: Ensure your phone stays charged when you’re out exploring. If you have an iPhone like me, the Casely batteries are my favorites. Easy to pack in a purse and no cords.

6. Chill Time Attire:

  • ๐ŸŒบ Flowy Maxi Dresses: Perfect for a relaxed stroll or a brunch date. These also make for great looks out a Seven Magic Mountains for a colorful photo op. Cocopiรฑa dresses really make the perfect fit.
  • ๐Ÿฅฟ Stylish Sandals and Sneakers: Comfort is key for those laid-back Vegas moments.

9. Confidence and Positivity:

  • ๐ŸŒˆ Self-Love Attitude: Your best accessory is your confidence, so rock it!
