What to pack for Vegas in June?
 

What to pack for Vegas in the first half of June for three women of 58, 35 and 14 that would be staying on the Strip but w/t a car? It's our first trip there before we head to LA so we do not quite know what to expect. We have never been in the dessert. Please share your expertise!

It's very sticky. :D


Seriously - Vegas is HOT and dry. Casual to smart-casual clothes will suit for most occasions. Don't forget the sunscreen and moisturizer.

Sticky???? I thought sticky (humid) would be Florida in August, or at least parts of the eastern coast in the summer. I guess I was wrong, and Vegas can be sticky too :-(

lennyba was joking!

It will be hot and very dry. Cool clothing, a sweater for AC restaurants, a hat for walking, sunscreen and lots of moisturizer.

As far as styles, anything goes in Vegas. Wear exactly what you would wear at home.

Money!

Very comfy shoes or sandals!

I think they mean that you will be sticky because you will be sweating so much.

Your days will be spent outside walking from casino to casino. There is so much to see in each one. Therefore comfy shoes are a MUST. And you will be very hot walking outside. A refillable water bottle is a good idea and sunglasses. You'll think, "hey, let's walk down to that casino, it is only three casinos down." But in actuality, it is more like three miles down. Distances are tricky to gauge because of the enormity of the buildings.

But bring a light sweater for air conditioned hotels.

"We have never been in the dessert."

Hence the "sticky" comment.

Ahh...chocolate mousse vs. humidity. :)

Sunglasses. Sunblock. Swimsuit. Sunhat. Chapstick. Water bottle. A light sweater for indoors - I am serious, the air conditioning is brutal.

Unless you have a special occasion dinner, don't bring formal clothes.

And a pair of old, dependable, well broken in shoes is a blessing on every trip!

I was wondering the same thing we will be there for 10 days in the beginning of June. Do people wear shorts into the casinos? or are capris more appropriate? Iassume capris for shows am I off base?

Comfortable shoes and a sweater for chilly AC in the casinos is what I recommend.

Pretty much anything goes in Vegas. However, if you are thinking of going to a club, you'll need to dress up a bit.

Outside it will be hot -- so hat and sunglasses are key.

If you plan on spending any time at the pool, do it in the morning when the sun isn't so hot.

"Do people wear shorts into the casinos?

Generally most people wear the same clothes as they would wear if shopping at Wal-mart.

I would not wear shorts in a casino for one simple reason: too cold. Air conditioned. My husband wore shorts with no problem.

Your patience & your plastic.

I agree you pack for the heat. But I do remember us going there about third week in June a few years ago and they had an exception to the weather pattern. It was somewhat overcast and temperature range we had was 77-82 during the day. Also, when you say the first half of June, be ready for wind though most likely not. I recall going up in mid-May one year and the winds really kicked up.

Don't know your home base, but mine is South Florida, and when I visited Vegas, the dry air devistated my skin: bring lots of moisturizer!

My home base for the last seven years is Alaska.Before it was Siberia.I still cannot convert Farenheit to Celcius well, but what I know is -40 C = -40 F:-) So do not know if Vegas in June is a good idea, but we are determined to give it a try!
Thanks for all your advice, I am adding some of the things to my shopping list.
Wanderluster, need more clarification on patience. I am lost in the "dessert"

Needsun, I have conversion for you. Get ready for +40C.

From F to C: F-32:9x5=C too much math if you ask me :)

Poputnogo vetra!

Ya know, the desert gets a bad rap imo. If you really 'needsun', as in the OP's screen name, they will love vegas in june.

I've gone at various times for conferences and many times in the july with the family. Yes, it is hot. But for those of us needing sun - and that is me me ME - it's great! You go from each a/c casino to casino then to the pool then to the a/c casino. No big deal.

Last time there in july i did an early am run and it was much easier than around here when there's 1000% humidity. Yes, i meant a thousand percent because thats exactly how it feels.

Sounds like a girls getaway for you needsun - have a blast!
