Summer is approaching and that can only mean one thing for you and your girlfriends – Vegas, baby! And I’m here to help you with packing for a sleepless weekend of fun and little trouble.

When I think about Las Vegas, movies such as Casino, where Vegas was a playground of lavishness and indulgence built on some old school Mafia dangerousness come to mind. Now, Las Vegas is not only for adults but families can enjoy the lights and sounds.

Just because Las Vegas has settled down doesn’t mean you have to when venturing to Sin City. For fashion inspirations, I like to take cues from Sharon Stone in Casino. Styles should be of the late 70s and a dash of 80s. I love the palette of gold, fuchsia, teal, white and ….did I say gold? Since you will be spending a lot of time poolside, bring a fierce swimsuit. I like the new Monokini shapes that are becoming popular. As far as evening wear, pack only dresses. A great cocktail dress is perfect for going clubbing while a long, form fitting dress can be a sexy outfit for a dinner and a show.

Don’t be afraid to be a little gaudy. Hone you inner Elvis and layer on the gold. Also a little superstition won’t hurt. One of my friends always starts gathering her luck before going to Vegas by painting her toes a metallic green like the hue Bunny from The Big Labowski used.
