Electricity & Plugs in Las Vegas

Electricity & Adapters

Voltage: The United States uses 120V, 60Hz.

Plug Type: Type A and Type B (flat parallel pins, Type B adds a grounding pin), standard across North America.

Adapters Needed:

  • UK travelers: Yes - UK uses Type G, 230V
  • EU travelers: Yes - continental Europe uses Type C/F, 230V
  • Australia/NZ travelers: Yes - Australasia uses Type I, 230V
  • Canada travelers: No adapter needed - same plug type and voltage

Voltage Converters: Most modern electronics (phones, laptops, cameras) are dual-voltage (100-240V) and only need a plug adapter, not a converter. Hair dryers and straighteners from 230V countries may need a voltage converter.

Where to Buy: Adapters available at the airport, drugstores (CVS, Walgreens), and most hotel gift shops on the Strip, though at a markup - cheaper to bring one from home.

Pro Tip: Hotel rooms typically have plenty of outlets, but a compact power strip is handy for charging multiple devices near the bed or desk.
