I just returned from a trip to Hollywood, California. My son, Chris, flew my husband and I out to see him there for a long weekend in the son. No pun intended, but I have jet lag right now. Lol! We had to all get up at 4 am to catch our plane back home to Detroit. The trip was a gift for our 42nd wedding anniversary. We hadn’t seen Chris for Christmas, so this was a much-needed visit.

Last weekend, I went to Las Vegas with my sister to soak up the sun poolside. Usually, by November the weather cools down in Las Vegas and they start calling it their winter season. However, it was already starting to cool the last week of October. Instead of temperatures in the 80’s Fahrenheit, they dipped into the 60’s. Doesn’t it seem to happen that the weather turns unfavorable right when you travel someplace?! It was 80 again the day after we got back.

After returning home, I surveyed what I actually wore out of my overpacked bags. It boils down to a capsule wardrobe that works for four days in between seasons in Las Vegas. And age doesn’t matter when you use my packing list.
So what do you really need to pack for a trip to Las Vegas?
