In an alternate universe, I’d be jetting of to glamorous Las Vegas today for the weekend. However, we’re not in a parallel world, and I’ll find myself sat behind a till tomorrow, but, for the sake of this post, lets just all pretend!
Trek America are currently holding a contest for the next big blogger, and the winner gets the chance to see the west coast of the U S A! All you have to do is create a blog post about what you would pack for a weekend away. So, since the prize of this is their Westerner 2, I decided to base this around one city in particular (which just happens to be part of the trek you win!)
I have already been lucky enough to gamble in Vegas, so I have a pretty decent idea on what I would take if I ever visited again.

COMFY SHOES
A must, the strip is sooooo long, and I enjoy walking around, exploring when I’m in new places, so my pair of trusty vans are a must for day times (probably night times past 4am also)

LUCKY DRESS
Well, this hasn’t actually proved to be lucky in anyway so far, but it’s pretty and multi-seasonal so again, we’ll just pretend and go with the gambling theme here.

CAMERA
To capture all your memories, I’ve chosen to take my instax mini, because it’s both cute and very small.

MOBILE PHONE
So I can make sure I can instagram and check in on Facebook along the way (what’s the point in leaving the house at all if you can’t make you old school friends and colleagues envious?)

$$$$
Plenty of money, mainly for all the alcoholic slushes you buy walking around.

Things I haven’t included in the pictures but are a MUST:
Passport/ID (duh)
Sunglasses
Suncream (you are technically in the middle of a desert)
Underwear (imagine forgetting those!)
Socks (..I am always forgetting these)

So, I guess I’m packed, all I need now is a flight and somewhere to stay, or a place on the Westerner 2!
