Las Vegas Wedding Ideas?
Posted on | February 15, 2010 | 3 Comments
Well, I procrastinated a nice long year (and changed destinations a few times) for our wedding….
The date never changed, but it’s coming up FAST!
I am back at square one
We’ve finally just said “Let’s just do Vegas” because everyone that attends is bound to have fun.
We want to save some serious money for the honeymoon (Bangkok and Phucket Island, Thailand ) so our budget is going to be anywhere between $50 to $2,000.
We’re looking for something a little more classy than a drive-thru wedding, but less showy than a wedding package at Cesar’s Palace. Something simple and intimate… nothing that would require a large budget for decorations or venue rentals…. (all that crap that goes into a blowout wedding).
We’re both athiest, extremely laid-back and easy going. We don’t want a church/chapel wedding, though we don’t want to just sign a license at the JOP (mostly this is me refusing to spend my wedding day in a government building). We just want some sort of affordable ceremony surrounded by our family and friends, but also fun and unique.
Opportunity for photos is a must. I have a family of photographers, including myself, so something aesthetically pleasing is also a must (since the ole fiance hates his photo taken, this might be the one opportunity I’ll get where he’d HAVE to be in pictures).
I know, it’s totally cliche’ to get married in Vegas and really quite “un-unique”… but I know there are some creative folks with great ideas out there!
I’m looking forward to some great ideas, with an open-mind!
Thanks!

You could do the Bellagio (it’s very classy there). Do either the Deluxe Wedding Package or the Terrazza Di Sogno. Those packages are both $2000.http://www.bellagio.com/weddings/package…
There are also nice packages at Mandalay Bay:http://www.mandalaybay.com/thingstodo/we…
Or get married at the little white chapel.

You should check out the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel… No drive thru weddings there. A Very Nice Place I think You will like it They do very good job and weddings are live on the internet at no extra cost, also your wedding photos are available to view online in few days. I recommend The Outdoor Gazebo Package at night it is so nice with all the lights on. Check there garden package as well… Best Regards and Congrats!

I got married at the Stratosphere in 2004, and it was awesome. They have all-inclusive wedding packages that are much cheaper than the other hotels. The cool thing is that the chapel and banquet rooms are on the 103rd floor, and the view is phenomenal. We did our wedding at noon (lunch is way cheaper than dinner and people aren’t expecting to drink as much). After the wedding, a bunch of us (including kids) rode the rides at the top of the tower (Big Shot, rollercoaster). Catering was done by the Top of the World restaurant, and it was excellent.
If you’re looking for something green and scenic, photos would be a challenge because you’re up high. But if the idea of a view from 100 stories sounds cool (it is!), check out this venue.
