Picture it: you climb out of the hotel pool at 6 pm, pull on a cover-up, and have forty minutes to make a dinner reservation on the Strip. This Las Vegas weekend packing list for women is built for that exact turnaround, from Away, Béis and Calpak ca...
This is the bag I would trust for a three-night Vegas trip because it holds 43 liters and still fits the overhead bin. The aluminum frame and dual TSA locks mean it survives a casino-hotel luggage cart, and the green looks nothing like every black su...
Away The Bigger Carry-On Aluminum Edge in Ivy Green
Walking the Strip means your hands should be free for a drink and a phone, and this belt bag is how I would do it. It has a hidden back pocket and the strap adjusts, so it sits at the waist for the day and moves to crossbody once you dress up for din...
Calpak Luka Belt Bag in Walnut
Hotel-room dressing goes sideways fast when necklaces knot in the bottom of a bag, so I keep everything in this case. It is made from recycled plastic bottles, the compartments keep chains separate, and it fits inside the Béis cosmetic case so one le...
BÉIS The Jewelry Case in Maple
Vegas distances are deceiving, because a casino floor to the next resort can be a mile of carpet and pavement. These have Max Air cushioning in the heel and a leather-and-textile upper, and reviewers keep calling them ideal for all-day walking, which...
Nike Air Max SC Women's Shoes
If you want a carry-on that expands, this one does: 49 liters that stretch to 61 with the extra two inches, which is the souvenir-and-shopping buffer for the trip home. The 360-degree wheels glide across hotel lobby marble, and the weight indicator o...
BÉIS The Carry-On Roller in Atlas Pink
A crochet layer is the easiest piece for going from the pool deck to a poolside lunch without changing. It folds small, it dries fast, and it works over a swimsuit now and with sandals later, which is the whole packing philosophy for a short Vegas we...
Z Supply Sandbar Crochet Mini Dress
A 2.5-inch block heel is as high as I want to go on a night that might include a long walk across a resort. The roller-buckle straps adjust, so the fit stays secure after a day of swollen feet, and the cinnamon leather works with both black and white...
Madewell The Corinna Buckle-Strap Heeled Sandal
Hotel bathroom counters are tiny, and this case has a built-in magnetic mirror and a pop-out brush holder that lets you do makeup standing at the vanity or on the bed. It is spill-proof and TSA friendly, which is worth it when the vanity light is the...
BÉIS The Cosmetic Case in Maple
A wrinkle-resistant jumpsuit solves the question of what to wear from the airport to the casino lobby. The featherweight stretch fabric packs flat and has a center zipper plus a chest pocket, so it is a good outfit for the flight and again for a late...
Athleta Always Ready Jumpsuit
For a two-night trip, this duffel is the soft-sided choice, with nine pockets and a shoe compartment that keeps heels from touching clothes. The pink is soft enough to look good in hotel lobby photos, and the scratch-resistant finish handles the roug...
Calpak Luka Duffel in Rose Quartz
A small pendant on a thin chain is the safe necklace for a weekend where you will be dressing up twice. It has a delicate stone, it sits at 15 to 17 inches, and I would wear it to dinner and the pool bar without worrying about it catching on a cover-...
Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace in Gold
These are the pool-deck shoes, because hot concrete is not kind to bare feet. The foam is soft, the footbed is contoured, and they weigh almost nothing in a bag, so I can pack them in the corner of a carry-on or the tote and forget them until I need ...
Nike Victori One Women's Slides
Evenings on the Strip mean a phone, a card, lip color, and not much else, which is exactly what this size carries. It has organized pockets and a key leash, and the cobalt is bright enough that I can find it in a dark club, which beats digging throug...
BÉIS The Travel Crossbody in Cobalt Blue
Compression is the secret to fitting a weekend and a few shopping bags into one carry-on. The double zipper squeezes the contents by two inches, and I use one cube for swimwear and cover-ups and the other for the night-out pieces, so they come out se...
Calpak Small Compression Packing Cubes (2-Piece) in Daisy
If there is one dress for a Vegas night out, it is a sequin mini with a swing shape. It has side pockets, which makes it easier to carry a key card, and it comes through a packed carry-on better than a fitted dress because it does not wrinkle in the ...
Maeve The Emmy Short-Sleeve Swing Mini Dress: Sequin Edition
A second walking shoe gives your feet a break on day two, and the Cortez is lighter and flatter than a runner. Nike says the newer shape has a wider toe area and firmer sides, and the retro look goes with shorts or a dress, so it works for a daytime ...
Nike Cortez Women's Shoes
The Weekender holds 42 liters and has a separate bottom compartment, which I would use for sandals and toiletries so they stay away from the clothes. The trolley pass-through slides onto a roller handle, so you can stack it on top of a bigger bag in ...
BÉIS The Weekender in Atlas Pink
Vegas is hard on batteries, between maps, photos and a boarding pass, so a charger needs a home. This hard-shell case has mesh pockets and elastic loops for cords and earbuds, and the blush pink makes it easy to find at the bottom of a tote.
Away Mini Tech Case in Blush Pink
The pool bag has to survive wet towels, sunscreen and a damp swimsuit, and this coated canvas wipes clean. It holds 28 liters, closes with a magnet, and has a trolley pass-through, so the same bag rides on top of the suitcase to the airport and then ...
BÉIS The Canvas and Leather Tote in Dusty Blue
A pearl choker makes a simple black outfit look dressed up, and this one is small enough that it does not compete with a sequin dress. The 4 mm pearls sit on 18k gold vermeil and the 14 to 16 inch adjustable length fits close to the collarbone.
Mejuri Tiny Freshwater Pearl Necklace
Toiletries need their own bag so shampoo cannot leak onto the swimsuit, and this kit has separate top and bottom compartments plus a removable pouch. It is wipeable inside, hangs from a loop, and the 4-liter size is right for a three-day trip.
BÉIS The Dopp Kit in Beige
Chargers and adapters get lost in a duffel, so I would put them in a flat organizer with a mesh pocket. This one is 9.5 by 7 inches, slides into a carry-on side pocket, and means the cable you need after midnight is in one spot.
Calpak Tech Organizer in Walnut
Small luxury is the point here, at 4 by 4 inches, with four necklace hooks, six earring holes and a ring holder. The anti-tarnish microsuede lining protects gold pieces, and it fits in a clutch for the nights you want to bring a few favorites.
