Every trip, every season
- Shoes you can genuinely walk in — the Strip is longer than the map suggests (well over five miles end to end)
- One warm layer — casinos hold about 68°F all summer
- A refillable bottle — free soda machines are gone, water fountains are everywhere
- Your passport (for international visitors) plus a second ID for the sportsbook
Summer (May-September)
Afternoon highs push past 105°F. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, swimwear for the pool circuit and lighter clothes than feels reasonable. Evening shows still lean dressy — one sharp outfit covers it.
Winter (November-February)
Nights surprise people: 30s°F. Bring a genuine jacket, not only a hoodie. Life stays indoors here, so no snow gear is required.
Leave at home
- Beach towels — every pool supplies its own
- Wrinkle-free ambitions — every room has an iron, or bring one
- A full bottle for TSA — empty it and fill at the gate
