Once you start acquiring light stands, flashes, umbrellas, snoots and gobos, monoblocks, etc. you'll eventually come to the same realization I was faced with: having all of this shit for the mere possibility that you may need it is only going to act as a hindrance to how much you'll be able to experience and shoot while there.
Smeth has offered one hell of a post (just by sheer linkage) but the sad truth is you'd be hard pressed to find a single suggestion that hasn't already been shot to death. A simple Google search will reveal a wealth of images created by tourists with similar intentions. You're not going to break the mold with your images while you're there so you might as well go there with the intention of enjoying your experience of being there while keeping all of the camera stuff secondary.
Pack what won't weigh you down and be sure to have a damned good time while you're there. The best images will be burned into your memory.
That's my two cents.
