Good luck in all black in Vegas. I was just there. I'm from Texas so the first time I went to Vegas I thought I'd be fine. Turns out we hug our AC more than I realized in Texas. Figured that out when I tried to walk between two hotels. On the map it looked fine, just one hotel between them. On the ground that hotel turned out to be so huge they have their own tram from one end of the hotel to the other.

Not to discourage you, rather just be aware and plan to take ubers or whatever rather than attempting to stroll unless it is after dark. The sun in Vegas is brutal and there will be a shocking amount of heating coming up from the pavement as well due to all the sun beating down on it all day. Even a couple of hours after darkness fell it was surprising how much heat was coming off the pavement in front of my hotel.

I always wear all black in Vegas. Except my swim suits, those are bright colours!

Listen, I’m a musician in southern Arizona, so I spend a lot of time in all black, and my heat tolerance is high. I’m telling you, unless you’re already from the desert, don’t do this. You’re gonna give yourself heatstroke going outside in Vegas like that. If you absolutely insist on wearing all black, really monitor yourself, bring a light colored umbrella for shade while walking outside, and have a large water bottle with you that you’re drinking from regularly. Heat stroke is no joke, and if you get it once, you get it more easily for the rest of your life.

Have you been to the Vegas strip before? Do you know how far apart the casino’s are? It’s about a mile of walking outside with no shade to get from one casino to the next. It’s sort of impossible to limit your time outside while you’re staying there. Unless you’re planning to just stay in the same casino all day long, that plan is going to be a problem.

From one nearly all black dresser to another, I salute you! (I’ve gone to Vegas many times with an all black wardrobe and it was fine.)

My problem at a busy trade show wasn't inside. But outside you have to wait an hour for a bus or taxi, or walk. Then it's really cold. Hope your hotel is attached to your convention center.

Your best option for comfort is going to be layers. Some places are overheated in my opinion. It depends where you want to go. Layers will allow you to move freely from place to place. This week is relatively warm though.

They blast the heater in the winter and I hate it.

Always

It's very dry here so high 50's at night doesn't seem that cold. In the morning when it's in the 30's you need a jacket IMO. The casinos try keep it as comfortable as possible so people will not want to leave. Sorry, convention centers I don't know.

bring a sweater.

preferably something in a nice Scottish wool.

Water and comfortable shoes are essentials, no matter the season.

Electrolytes work better than just water. Yes, water is important but electrolytes help keep you hydrated much better

It puts the lotion in the suitcase

deodorant

Thick socks, I know that sounds crazy but you will be walking around A LOT, my friend was just here and he complained how his heals were hurting and getting blisters. Luckily I carry blister patches in my car. You want comfortable shoes, you want light clothes, sometimes long sleeves but thin light fabric offer good protection from the sun, sun glasses, lip balm, sun screen, water, water, water, water, water, water, did I say water? Make sure you have a reusable water bottle, get water from Walgreens and stack it in your hotel room.

If you care more about comfort then looking cool get a boonie hat. I wear one all the time when I'm out doors during the day, it's a life saver.

And don't let me forget water ;)

I was there in the summer when it was like 110. It was dry heat, so it is hot but if you drink plenty of liquid and hop in and out of casinos with AC it is fine. It is actually easier than Florida humid heat. Wear a sun hat outside, carry water.

Bring a sweater! Believe it or not, the AC can get really freaking cold. Especially if you get too much sun during the day and get the chills at night.

Light breathable clothes like dry fit stuff work. Believe it or not if you can find some light dry fit stuff that is long sleeve it helps keep the sun off your skin.

Become a master of the shade during the day.

Good shoes for walking with socks.

A hat to keep the sun off your face is good too.

Drink a ton of water... till you pee clear

Shorts, loose shirts, good and comfortable shoes, top quality socks like Darn Tough.

Drink lots of water and stay in the casinos as much as you can (that's basic desert survival though).

Everything there is farther away than it seems. Don't be shy about taking Uber, taxi, Deuce, whatever.

Start with a suitcase. The rest is on you

You just need your plane ticket home.

You just need one thing, a Lt. Dangle Costume.

Bring extra gas money so you can skip Reno and go to Vegas.

right now its pretty cold and are you going to go up the mountains to the snow or just stay inside ?

Our winters can get down as low as 30-ish degrees, but since we have very low humidity, it will bite a little more.

If you are going to be here at least for the winter I'd bring those nice coats or keep a couple and sell / donate the rest.

If you live here long enough, I promise you’ll forget that this is warm relative to New England lol😭🤣 You’ll just wake up one morning and be like dang it’s a little chilly outside and it’ll be 50

Yeah but you need like one coat. Coat closets are also a waste of space here. I wear short sleeves year round

I’m from Illinois. The heaviest I’ve needed is a pea coat and decent pair of gloves

You won't use them unless you travel. It does get cold but you aren't out in the weather for hours sitting in a chair. You are going from your house to your car to a store.

I have 3 depending upon my outfit. Otherwise I have lighter ones.

Been here from Boston in 2009 and never had the desire for that!

It definitely can be, Mt Charleston in the winter and I still use my thick Minnesota jacket

I’ve spent a lot of time in Vegas. I agree you probably don’t want pants, and it’ll be easy to pick up new things there. I would personally want short sleeves instead of tanks to keep the sun off my shoulders. I might swap out one of the tanks for a golf/athletic polo for dining out. I would also not want to hike in sandals because cacti and goat heads, but if you know the risks, you know the risks. I would want a bigger handbag or small backpack so I could throw a water bottle inside.

You may want something dressier, depending where you’re dining this won’t be acceptable for Vegas standards. Check the dress codes

Outside of that it looks awesome and I love your color combos for daytime wear!!!

Laundry does dry quickly, especially when ac is blowing. I was there Mother’s Day extended weekend for the Sphere. (Three nights, mid grade hotel, walked everywhere, 7 percent humidity)

Do you plan on being in water? Does your workout/hiking clothing double as swim for you?

Make sure you have more hydration tablets than you think you need. I didn’t feel well hydrated at all while there, and was home three days before I felt right. And I’m not a drinker and didn’t use any THC. I have had heatstroke in the Utah parks. This felt similar.

As for your clothing, check dress codes for restaurants and theaters.

The number looks right, but since laundry is on the table, you could drop the graphic tank, unless that’s your travel day, not packed, outfit.

I brought two skirts and three tops, too. With a pair of Xeros (I was Chaco Z feet for years, 1998-2016, until I got tired of no ground feel). Rinsed the shoes a couple times. Gritty dust and sweat irritated my feet in a way they don’t get in Colorado. I included a cotton over shirt for some extra sun protection and for the concert. Two bras, three undies. They dried overnight. Since I was in a hotel with people other than my partner, I had a 32 degrees dress as lounge and sleepwear. If it had pockets, it would be a perfect desert city dress.

I’d be worried that I would be cold inside. They AC like crazy in Vegas. Maybe add a nice cardigan type top? Also it looks like you have 5 Bottoms which seems like a lot to 7 days. Maybe cut to 1 sleep, 1 swim and 2 skirts/pants? Or can you double swim and sleep?

I would suggest changing your plane outfit to go with the bulky sneakers. Pack the smaller sandals instead. Always wear the bulky items on the plane!

By itself, the clothing should even work for an under bag setup. So you should be fine with just a regular carry on when including your PT gear.

You didn't post your other "stuff" so that could be what is taking up the space. Toiletry kit? Are you taking a big laptop? etc. Those are space and weight stealers.

I would add in a very light scarf to change your outfit looks and act as a warmth layer for air conditioning. a light scarf easily stores in a purse when not in use.

5 & 7 !!!

Dont wear ratty shoes , it throws off everything

1, 5, 7. Casual luxe chic

5 & 7

I’d go with 1, 6, and 7! I know it’s only a two-day trip, but outfit #1 gives you that polished yet casual look during the day while also making you stand out as fashion-forward at the casinos, especially if you visit a more upscale one. For walking around, comfort is key, and #6 is perfect for that. The loose-fitting top and exposed shoulders create a fun, effortless vibe. Plus, if you’re packing light, reusing the same pair of pants makes for an easy transition from the casino to exploring the city. And #7 is an absolute must! You look stunning in it, and it fits you perfectly. Whether you’re heading to a concert, a show, or an exclusive nightclub with friends, this outfit is made for nightlife and it definitely deserves a photo op! Have fun on your trip!

We take a Britta Water filter and aeropress coffee maker (many rooms dont have coffee)

Comfortable shoes, including something you can go hiking in (if you have time). Red Rock canyon and valley of fire are both very cool. Even just walking around the strip can be some distance. I track steps and have had several 15+ mile days in vegas (I like walking).
A case/bag for sunglasses as you'll find yourself wearing them while walking the strip, then not when going inside.
Cash for tipping hotel staff, gambling, etc. ATMs in vegas are super expensive. In general, vegas is expensive.
A couple plastic cups so you can make drinks to walk around with and save a few bucks. Liquor can be bought just about anywhere (gas stations, drug stores, etc)
Clean clothes to sleep in. You'll feel super grubby when getting back to the hotel at night. In general, maybe pack more outfits than you think you'll need.
A couple rolls of Tums.
A list of restaurants you want to eat at, bars to drink at, shows to see. Figure out where they are and make it a point to get to those things and see what you discover on the way. Especially on the restaurants, do some research. Lots of great food in vegas, some really bad and a ton of ho hum. Find the goods that suit your tastes.

More than anything good attitude. I first started going to vegas for work conferences and was kinda meh on it. Thought it was too fake and BS, I was the typical jaded person who'd rather be skiing or at a national park or on a beach. When I sort of let my guard down and readjusted my attitude, it became a really fun place that I've gone too a couple of times just for fun too. There is a LOT to see and do besides the usuals,, there is surprisingly good outdoor activities nearby (hiking, climbing, kayaking, etc), cool attractions like the neon museum, a mob museum, etc. Some of the casinos are littered with art. My wife freaked out when we just kinda stumbled upon a jeff koons sculpture that was worth many millions of dollars, i think there are aome picasos around and lots of dale chilully's work.
Also the more typical vegas stuff (cheesy live music bars, clubs, gambling, pools, walking the strip etc)is really fun if you just sort of buy into the idea that everyone is there to have fun and relax. The people watching is incredibly entertaining, you'll see behavior you can only see in Vegas. Talk to strangers, you'll meet all kinds of people.
