Eventually, everyone visits Las Vegas. It’s a wonderland for adults filled with entertainment, colorful characters and excitement. As a seven-year resident, I know what you need to wear on your Vegas vacation; and I’ve got two words for you: glitz and glamour. Sin City is all about glitz and glamour, because everyday is a flashy party in neon-loving Las Vegas. So, glam it up.

The metal squares adorning these Lydia platform sandals from Baby Phat would look great on the dance floor at Studio 54 located in the MGM Grand. 

Lady Luck is on your side with the Roulette Fantasy pump by Carlos Santana. Wear these while gambling on the casino floor at The Palazzo. While there, be sure to enjoy a margarita at The Lounge at Dos Caminos.

Nothing will attract attention like a pair of L.A.M.B. shoes. These gold metallic Gillian sandals are perfect for a day of shopping at Fashion Show Mall. Las Vegas’ most stylish mall features Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and fashion shows throughout the day.
