Eureka! A Las Vegas Wedding

Since about 50 relatives live in LA, SD, and LV, it would make it easier, and my friends are up to going to LV...I think this might be the best choice. I'm not super thrilled with it, however, if I can find a nice location that would be great! We already have to rule out Bellagio since the BFF already got married there last year. Any suggestions on places? Also, we're thinking of having a buffet for the reception...then people can eat whatever they want and how much they want. I think it might be the only option at this point. Any suggestions on places to hold the ceremony? No elvis for me. A nice outdoor wedding would be great. Thanks!

However, I really wanted to do it at the Rose Garden at the Wynn. I'll be following your posts now that I know you're having a Vegas wedding. Otherwise, there is a gorgeous wedding site on the west side of town . . . I can not remember the name of it but it had "Garden" in the name and was out near Summerlin. Gorgeous view of Red Rock and a couple of golf courses. I lived in Vegas for 25 years, so this is going to kill me until I can remember the name of it. *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

I think they were at Lake Las Vegas, but I'm not sure (and I've never been to LV so I'm really clueless). I tried googling it and searching on the FN website, but I can't really find anything about it...but you might have better luck than I did! I'm annoyed, I remember watching the series of shows so clearly but I can't find anything now ETA: just googled Lake Las Vegas and realized it's a resort with the Ritz and the Hyatt Regency, so it might be pricey. But it definitely looks pretty!

One of my closest friends was married there and it was gorgeous! http://emeraldgardensllc.com/index.html *********************************************** DFW PS GTG Planner Extraordinaire :)

julabean Cut Rock Total Posts: 198 Last Post: 9/22/2009 Member Since: 12/20/2007	I'm getting married in Las Vegas next Saturday...we picked Paris because we have always had a wonderful time there and it fit our budget. We would have loved the Bellagio, but just couldn't swing it. We also checked out Mandalay Bay, whose chapel I like just a little bit more, but the service wasn't as good. Our wedding coordinator at Paris has made wedding planning a breeze for me! There is a book we got that talks about all kinds of Vegas ceremonies - from the cheapest to the most cliche to the most glamorous. Here's a link to it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Neon-Nuptials-Complete-Guide-Weddings/dp/0929712803/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206934104&sr=8-1

SuLi Cut Rock Total Posts: 439 Last Post: 2/14/2009 Member Since: 4/25/2007	What about somewhere slightly outside of Las Vegas? My friends got married at this resort (unfortunately, I was not able to attend): http://www.montelagovillage.com/index.htm?etc=google_lake_las_vegas_hotels It seemed like a really nice place, and I know that they had a wonderful time and positive experience. Good luck!

I have been to many areas of Vegas and stayed a lot of places and in my mind this is hand's down the nicest. The outdoor area is beautiful as are many of the indoor areas. The rooms are all lovely too and they all have whirlpool tubs. I like that it is off the strip. Plus, if you have a lot of family in the area driving between the marriott and the strip is no big deal.

scm1012 Cut Rock Total Posts: 123 Last Post: 4/29/2008 Member Since: 5/21/2007	My cousin just got married last month at The Ritz. It's about 2-3 miles off the strip, I think. It was really lovely place. The ceremony ended up being held indoors due to weather but was beautiful inside. The reception was really fun too. I was feeling really awful on her wedding day but I remember the food tasting really good for a buffet wedding. Umm what else...I think she had about 70 friends and relatives.
