are the perfect purse when vacationing in Las Vegas. I prefer a wristlet, mainly because it hangs on your wrist, its always in front of you and within eyesight. It holds just enough of what you need: money, lip balm, phone, hotel keycard, hand sanitizer. Not forgetting this is the Average Girl's Guide to Vegas, I try to pack a regular sized purse for when I need it, but use the wristlet if I'm staying in our casino/resort. I can easily play slots or blackjack with my wristlet attached, and its easy access to get out tip money for the drink bunnies.
When picking a wristlet out, make sure the handle is secure and sturdy. As with any tourist locale, there is an opportunity for bag grabbers and cons. You want to make sure someone can't just grab your purse and break the handle off. Also, a zipper is a must. Some wristlets have a flap and just a button. One single button won't cut it. Make sure its zippered under the flap, if you like the look. This way, you don't have to worry about anything falling out as you are walking from machine to machine or table to table. I also never, EVER put all my spending cash in my wristlet when I use it. I don't do this with any purse I use. My sister went to Las Vegas and used her fanny pack. It was zippered, but she still had her ID and wallet stolen. Someone just sat next to her at a machine and started playing. She didn't even realize they unzipped her fanny and took her wallet! It was a bear trying to get her back home, going through security with no ID.
Whatever you decide to use, just try to make sure it's hard for someone to take from you, open when your not looking, and hard to forget. With all the walking and cabbing from place to place, if you lose your bag, it's hard to backtrack to find it. It will be gone.
I love love LOVE my wristlets! I hope you find them cute and utilitarian too!
