Everything here is something I would pack for Vegas myself. Each pick saves your feet, saves your wallet, or saves a rough next morning. Prices are checked on Amazon at the time you click.
Must-have“The single thing that makes or breaks a Vegas trip.”
The Strip looks short and is not. You will walk miles a day and most of it on hard tile and concrete. A genuinely cushioned shoe is the difference between a great night and quitting at 9pm with wrecked feet.

Must-have“The desert plus drinks plus walking dehydrates you fast.”
Vegas is dry desert air, late nights, and a lot of walking. An electrolyte packet in your water does more for how you feel the next morning than almost anything else you can pack.

Must-have“Pool days here are brutal sun. Do not get cooked.”
The desert sun at a Vegas pool is no joke and resort-shop sunscreen is priced for the trapped. Bring your own travel-size SPF and reapply.

Must-have“Your phone is your map, camera, wallet, and rideshare.”
Between photos, maps, mobile tickets, and ordering rides, your battery is dead by dinner. A pocket charger means you are not stranded with a black screen at the end of the night.

“Cheap insurance for whatever shoes you already own.”
If you are not buying new shoes, drop a pair of gel insoles in the ones you have. A few dollars buys you hours more on your feet before they give out.

“You will be glad these are in your bag by day two.”
New shoes plus miles of walking equals blisters. Hydrocolloid bandages actually fix the problem instead of bunching up, and the hotel shop charges a fortune for a tiny box.

“Bottled water on the Strip is a tax. Skip it.”
A bottle of water inside a casino can cost more than a meal back home. Bring an insulated bottle, fill it up, and stay cold and hydrated for free.

“Summer on the Strip gets genuinely dangerous-hot.”
A little rechargeable misting fan is a lifesaver waiting in a pool line or walking the Strip in July. Looks silly, feels incredible.

“Hotel outlets are never near the bed.”
