Recommended Travel Adaptor for Las Vegas
After testing numerous adaptors during real trips, one stood out. It performed best on safety, value and usability. This is the adaptor we suggest you take.
No adaptor once you’ve landed? Airports and local shops are an option. But nothing beats the peace of mind of having your own ready to use.
Las Vegas is often part of a bigger trip that includes Mexico and Canada. Best to double-check the plug types for those places — just to be sure.
Sockets in Las Vegas
Las Vegas uses Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You might run into problems plugging straight in Bolivia, as the voltage isn’t the same as the UK’s 230 V. A converter will sort that.
Before using your device overseas, check the small print on the voltage label. Anything marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will run without a converter, which covers most modern electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You

We’ve put them to the test, and they really are worth packing.
