what to pack: Las Vegas!

Heading to Las Vegas soon!?!? I'm heading out soon and starting to put together my suitcase... I always try to pack as minimalist as I can... but there is something about Vegas that even if you are only there for a few days you feel like you need tons of shoes, outfits and accessories.  Here is my take on what to pack for a trip to Las Vegas.

1. a cozy scarf for red-eye flights or chilly shopping malls, 2. a fab pair of sunnies for reading by the pool, 3. a clutch for dinner, dancing and casino-ing, 4. a fun cocktail ring for brunch or drinks, 5. a fabulous pair of earrings for day or night, 6. one super sparkly dress, 7. a super hot swim suit, 8. simple tanks for shopping the strip or heading to the pool, 9. denim shorts for shopping or sunning, 10. a classic maxi dress for brunch and shopping, 11. simple sandals for lots of walking, 12. glittery TOMS for running to catch your flight, 13. a faux fur vest for chilly desert evenings, 14. your rocking-est jeans, 15. a pretty blouse for  dinner and a show, 16. a tote for all your in-flight necessities, 17. gorgeous 'going out' shoes

Are you headed out on vacation soon? Let me know... I'll pull together some other fun 'what to pack' posts like these!

One last thing... please 'dish' (pun intended!) on your favorite places to eat on the Vegas strip... that is one of my favorite things to do while I am there and I can't wait to indulge!
