What Lenses for Vegas Trip?

I'll be going to Vegas for the first time in February. I will be taking my D750 and the 35mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.4 lenses. I was thinking of buying the 20mm 1.8 but I'm not sure if I'll need it. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm mainly interested in the architecture.

Either the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 or the Nikon 24-120mm f/4 AF-S G ED VR would make for good all-around lenses.

My 16-35mm f/4 is with me for every trip to Vegas. Usually the 24-120mm f/4 is there as well. I did do some street walking with the 35mm f/1.8, but that felt a little too long for what I was trying to do ... but I think it was on a DX body also.

That said, I could probably make it with just the 105mm f/2.8 macro and still enjoy the shooting. It all depends on what you're wanting to capture.

Some folks love primes, but I don't like changing lenses, so I'm a zoom guy. I'd take the 24-120 and the 50 (it's so small and f/1.4 might come in handy). Good luck.

You can get by with a 24-70 and maybe a 14-24 or 15-30. I don't feel you will need anything longer than 70mm to be honest. When I shoot down on the strip a wide angle lens will get you everything you need. Unless you are planning on doing some portrait shots while you are in Vegas. Will you be going for WPPI?

The 24-120 should work then, I'll be there Feb 2-9 so missing the WPPI.
