Things I needed in Las Vegas and Things I didn't need.

 I read two books on holiday, they stayed at the airport when finished. One in Vegas, the other at Heathrow on our return, these books came home with me.

It was an easy pack for Las Vegas, like for like with the weather, but without the rain. One jumper, a cardigan and gloves and scarves not worn as the sun shone and there was no wind, so warmer in the day.

This food went to Vegas and came back with me. One packet of crackers was enjoyed on the plane with some cheese. I don't order Gluten Free meals on planes, it's terrible. I just pack sandwiches, fruit, snacks and eat what I can. 

I did pack more than this and had biscuits and cakes that I could have with coffee when we were out and about as Las Vegas is not at all Gluten Free friendly.

What I should've packed though was Gluten Free bread and rolls so I could've swopped a burger or a sandwich out in a restaurant or had something to dip in my soup. I never tend to feel full after a meal when the GF alternative is just to remove the bread/pasta etc from the dish.

I desperately needed a travel kettle. The hotel rooms on the Strip don't have tea/coffee making facilities and few have fridges these days. They want you to spend your money on the casino floor. It meant we had to leave the room for every meal and every drink.

We did have access to an ice bucket and we bought soft drinks, beer and snacks from a local supermarket. I didn't have a decent cup of tea all week and I'm sick to death of Starbucks, which was $7 a go.

I also wished I'd packed a small pair of scissors in my suitcase. I usually have a pocket penknife in there but I'd used an old suitcase and hadn't transferred it over.
