The recent posting on independenttraveler.com:  Five Things You Shouldn't Wear on a Plane.


Ouch!


I am certainly an advocate for comfortable clothes and shoes whenever and wherever I travel, and, especially when traveling to Vegas, layers are necessary on the plane, in the hotels and casinos, and on the Strip.  Temperatures can vary wildly from place to place as well as from inside to outside on any given day, so I always have an assortment of cardigans, sweaters and/or long and short-sleeved tops to choose from.  Lighter fabrics, and the ability to layer them at different times of the day or night, make my whole trip a lot more enjoyable.


As far as shoes go, I always say comfort is key.  If you plan on walking ANYWHERE in Vegas - and I'm talking about between hotels, to a show, to a restaurant, etc. - you should seriously think of comfort over fashion.  Besides the fact that most everything is much farther away than you 'think' it is, the surfaces you walk on can vary vastly from place to place, as well, and make it difficult to walk for long periods of time.  I would much rather take an extra pair of shoes in my carry-on bag and go for maximum comfort than look cool for 10 minutes; no one else cares about my shoes.
