Viva Las Vegas!

Swimming pools, shopping, spirits, clubbing , what's your dream?! Las Vegas has it all! It is a fun place to relax, unwind, and show off your great style. I was invited to a style challenge by the site vegas.com to create a collection of outfits. This is my take on how a gal can transition from day to night and be effortlessly chic.

Lunch and Shopping at the Venetian

I've been to Vegas twice so far. I haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to touring all the ornate hotels. For once in my life...I was truly speechless, ha! (That doesn't happen often!) All I could do was gasp at some of the huge palace like resorts.

Last February I was in town for a milestone birthday and fashion trade show. I decided to spend some time at the Venetian. This hotel definitely has the ambiance of a classy Italian village, and is for sure one of my favorites! The Grand Canal Shoppes satisfied all my shopping needs, and more!

When shopping time is done, you can do lunch with the "Cake Boss!" Buddy's Ristorante features casual dining, with an upscale atmosphere. The menu has a wide of selection of American and Italian cuisine, including some of Buddy's signature dishes. He may even share his famous Italian birthday cake with
you, yummy!

Stay and Swim at the Trump Towers

My stay at the Trump towers was totally amazing! This is the place to get your glam on. Pampering and spoiling, are on the menu all day long! The room was absolutely gorgeous and so relaxing. The big jacuzzi tub was my friend all week, as well as the pool!

The selection of hotels in Vegas is endless! Each hotel offers such a unique experience. This hotel page offers superb deals on accommodation packages and shows.

Grab your sunnies, throw on your cover up and off to the pool you go! Speaking of the pool, how many swimsuits does a fashionista need?! One suit for each day of the week, of course! Swim suit shopping can be overwhelming to say the least. Fortunately there are many choices to accommodate every body type and shape.

If you are a little self conscience but still want a little edge to your suit, tankinis are the way to go. If you are that bold girl, then by all means invest in a cheeky bikini!

Casual Street Style

Your packing list should also include several pair of shorts and tank tops. I spent a few hours exploring the strip and just taking in all the sights. Wow, It's a long hike to get from one end to the other! I made it half way before I had to hop a bus, the blazing heat got the best of this girl!

Dinner and Clubbing

Whatever your plans are in Vegas, try to spend your money on clothes that multitask. Amid all the fun activities, you might not have a lot of time to spend planning outfits for the day. I also suggest packing of casual/dressy staples that will take you from day to night.

A midi length dress is the perfect anytime, anywhere piece that will transition easily from dinner to a night on the town. Changing out accessories such as shoes, bag, and jewelry can transform your look instantly . Let your accessories do the talking!

My favorite night time venue to visit is the Rio. The rooftop Voodoo lounge is just amazing! The view and atmosphere are spectacular. Don't worry, no hexes , just great fun and dancing awaits you!

Perhaps reading this prompted you to plan a trip to the city of entertainment:" The Miracle In The Desert!" Have you been to Las Vegas yet? If so, I'd love to know your favorite styles you wore while there.
