Kendra’s Night Out in Vegas

Oh, Vegas. My parents used to take me there when I was younger and we’d go to all of the kid-friendly attractions. I get super nostalgic thinking about the Caesar’s Palace mall with all the statues that would come alive every few hours. And the ceiling that resembled the sky and changed with the time of day. Oh and the giant toy store with the elevator shaped like a huge rocking horse. Does anyone know if those things are still there? I haven’t been there in over ten years and I’m not planning to go any time soon, but Kendra Thornton is! Kendra Thornton is a travel expert who has been featured on popular shows such as Tyra Banks and Nate Berkus. She asked me to participate in a challenge to create an outfit for her upcoming trip to Vegas. Here is some information from Kendra on what she has planned:

Help Me Dress for a Night in Sin City

The ChallengeI love spending time with my husband and kids, but I’m also looking forward to my upcoming getaway to Las Vegas. Yes, this 40-year-old mom is going out on the town. I’m going to need some stylish tips from my readers to make the most of this excursion. Help me plan the perfect outfit for an evening at The Palms Resort and Casino. To help get your creative juices flowing and keep me from committing a fashion faux pas, let me tell you a little about where I’ll be on this night out.

The ViewI’m look forward to enjoying some time unwinding with friends at the top of The Palm’s Fantasy Tower during my trip to Vegas. The View, which is located at this urban pinnacle, features breathtaking views of the Las Vegas strip and the surrounding area. It is one of the most stylish spots in Sin City for drinks, dinner and dancing, and I love the floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding the lounge area. For even more fun, I might engage my friends in a board game, and if we feel particularly energetic, we might play a round or two of shuffleboard.

No other city in the world has the variety of things to do and places to go that Las Vegas contains. I turned to the expert travelers themselves and read reviews on Gogobot to build my Vegas itinerary. Visitors can enjoy world-class entertainment at shows both on and off the strip. Regardless of how a person spends time in Las Vegas, having the right outfit for the event helps make it even more enjoyable. I look forward to reviewing your recommendations, and I can’t wait to try some new things during my getaway to Sin City.

When I think of Vegas, three words come to mind: Color. Sparkle. Humidity. Which of the three does not belong? Ha. Thankfully, that humidity can be combatted by an easy breezy outfit and well air-conditioned rooms. Instead of going overboard in the sparkle department, I focused on classic (but pretty) every day items. When traveling, I think it’s a smart idea to put the sparkle and color in the accessories. That way it’s easier to mix and match outfits without having to pack a ton. Have fun in Vegas, Kendra! Hope you find something both glam and comfortable to wear. :)
