Las Vegas waits for no one—especially when the group chat suddenly turns into a last-minute booking frenzy for a girls’ weekend, bachelorette chaos, or a spontaneous trip with your situationship. When spontaneity strikes, packing becomes a high-stakes game: you want to look great, feel amazing, and keep it light—emotionally and luggage-wise. The goal? One effortlessly chic go-bag that gets you from the daybed to the dance floor without a single costume change meltdown. Because in Vegas, versatility isn’t optional—it’s essential.
I recently flew to Sin City wth Aero—the semi-private airline that just launched a luxe direct service to Vegas. With Erewhon-worthy lounge snacks, a breezy 30-minute check-in, and meals that make terminal salads look like cardboard, it’s the kind of travel that sets the tone for the entire trip—Efficient, elevated, and actually worth the hype. (They also hit New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.)
After back-to-back travel, I had very little time to pack and prep for the Vegas getaway, but thanks to being a semi-pro traveler at this point in my career, I had no issues. Here’s your no-nonsense, editor-approved Vegas packing list—the fashion MVPs that’ll have your back, wherever the night (or next text) takes you.
