Viva Las Vegas!

Tip 1 - Yes, Las Vegas is in the desert. And, yes, the temperature gets to be about 115 degrees in the summer. But if you happen to be visiting in the winter (usually from Halloween to Valentine’s Day), don’t be fooled. A jacket is definitely recommended, especially if the wind is blowing. We know our blood is probably thin from living here, and we may not get blizzards, but consider this your warning — it’s a lot colder here than you’d think.

Tip 2 - There are certain places where fashion is more important than comfort — Tabú, Studio 54 or Light.

However, when you’re slumming around during daylight hours, casino hopping or standing in line for a buffet, wear your flip flops or most comfortable sandals. After all, you don’t want your fashionable shoes to rub blisters when you’re vamping it up at Studio 54. For ladies partying all night at the clubs, we suggest gel insoles. From strappy stilletos to go-go boots, you can actually get away with looking cute and being comfy. Oh, and if you choose to ignore our words of wisdom, make sure you’ve packed your specially selected Band-Aids.

Tip 3 - Imagine summer in Vegas. The temperature is 115 degrees and you’re wearing your favorite sundress or short shorts. You’re walking down the Strip or Fremont Street when you decide to enter a casino and partake in a cool, refreshing beverage. Prepare to freeze! You’d think there would be a happy medium, but for some reason, casinos tend to keep the thermostat at what feels like a shocking 60 degrees. So you can either (A) have a light jacket with you to put on or (B) grab your drink in a to-go container and get back out in the what-you-once-believed-to-be-sweltering heat.
