in the description.
Whether you're packing a suitcase or a weekend bag,
packing cubes are key.
You'll save space, and, if your bags get pulled
for a TSA check, packing cubes
can keep your delicates together in one spot.
These eBags packing cubes come in a three-pack,
and, depending on the size you pick, small, medium or large,
a choice of up to seven colors.
Amazon also has their own version
under the AmazonBasics brand.
The medium-size, like this, has enough room
for your undergarments or shirts,
without being too big or too small, kinda like Goldilocks.
It fits lengthwise in a standard sized backpack.
(bell rings) Pro-tip: Roll your clothes
so you can fit more in the packing cubes.
Let me know in the comments if you're a roller or a folder.
It's bright in Las Vegas
and not just from the casino lights.
The sun is intense.
Protect your eyes and pack a pair of sunglasses
for your trip to Vegas.
Walking through the casinos past the poker rooms.
You may even see some players wearing sunglasses.
These Ray-Bans come in a variety of styles, like Rose Gold,
or go for the classic mirrored aviator lenses
that have a cool retro vibe.
I've added a link to these sunglasses
and a couple of value priced options
in the description below.
When you visit Las Vegas,
bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes.
The casinos in Vegas are huge.
They are so big they can take up an entire block.
Walking from casino to casino, your feet, knees,
and back are going to take a pounding.
So pack a pair of good walking shoes.
Your feet will love these Skechers GOwalk sneakers.
They're light, casual walking sneakers
that don't add extra weight to your bag.
They've a generous toe box so your toes won't get cramped,
and you have a choice of 12 colors.
Because they slip on,
you'll get through airport security fast.
(bell rings) Pro-tip: If you're planning
a day trip to Zion National Park to hike The Narrows,
you want a pair of these Merrell Moabs
or Dansko Paisley shoes.
They're waterproof and comfortable,
and they're great if you have plantar fasciitis.
You can grab the links for the shoes from the description,
including links for the men's versions.
The long walks between casinos
and all those picture taking opportunities
means your smartphone gets a lot of use.

Add a day bag or backpack
to your what to pack to Las Vegas list.

can hold a 15-inch laptop, has two water bottle pockets
and an RFID blocking pocket.
Stainless steel wire mesh is sewn into the backpack,
so it's anti-theft and slash proof.
(bell rings) Pro-tip:
It meets the personal size item requirement
if you're flying on Frontier, Spirit or Allegiant.
It's large enough to fit a week's worth of clothes
and electronics, yet small enough
to still fit under an airline seat.
Whether you're hanging out at the pool,
walking to the casinos or taking a day trip from Las Vegas
to Valley of Fire or Zion National Park,
you should bring sunscreen, even in the winter.
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch sunscreen
is non-greasy, water resistant, TSA compliant,
and has an SPF of 100.
I know. You're probably thinking, 100 SPF?
How can I get a tan? Don't worry.
Even with an SPF of 100, you can still get tanned.
It just means you can stay out in the sun longer
without getting sunburnt.

The Furtalk Women's Straw Hat
also includes a removable chin strap.

Vegas is hot, in more ways than one.
The dry desert air, walking in the heat,
and maybe an adult beverage or two
will leave you dehydrated.

Speaking of wrinkling, most hotel rooms
have irons and ironing boards, but you may want
to bring a travel garment steamer like the Hilife steamer,
if your clothes need ironing.
The casinos crank up the air conditioning.
So it can get a little chilly.
You should pack a light jacket, sweater or cardigan.

rechargeable fan will keep you cool.
