According to www.frommers.com, there are many reasons to consider a Las Vegas NV wedding. First of all, it’s the only place you can get married by Elvis at a drive-up window in a pink Cadillac, 24 hours/day. Additionally, you can find wedding buffets for as low as 99 cents/person, the bachelor parties are always spectacular and the honeymoons are equally memorable. Las Vegas Nevada is the easiest place to get married and, in fact, more than 100,000 couples take the plunge in “sin city” each year.
Some people are drawn to Las Vegas NV for the cheap-and-easy wedding packages. Did you know you can have a Las Vegas wedding for $200 or less that includes the chapel, the minister, flowers for the bridge and groom, photos, music, a DVD and limo service? Chapels offering inexpensive services include the Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, A Special Memory Chapel, Candlelight Wedding Chapel, Chapel of the Bells, Cupid’s Wedding Chapel, Graceland Wedding Chapel, Little Church of the West, Mon Bel Ami Wedding Chapel, Shalimer Wedding Chapel, Sweetheart’s Wedding Chapel, The Bel Amour, the Little White Wedding Chapel, The Stained Glass Chapel, The Vegas Wedding Chapel and the Wee Kirk O The Heather Wedding Chapel.
If you would like, you can choose one of the Las Vegas hotels as the setting for your Las Vegas NV wedding ceremony, reception and honeymoon! How convenient is that? Las Vegas wedding packages can be found at The Bellagio Hotel, Caesars Palace, Circus Circus, Excalibur, Imperial Palace, Las Vegas Hilton, Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand Hotel, Monte Carlo, Paris, Planet Hollywood, The Stratosphere, The Venetian and The Wynn. For packages starting at $1500, The Bellagio Hotel has two wedding chapels; the South for 130 guests or the East for 30 guests, as well as ceremonies on the Terrace of Dreams, which overlooks the lake and a dancing fountain show.

There are some cons to having your wedding in Las Vegas NV. Not all friends and family members are able to attend far-away weddings. Also, to some, no matter how extravagant the ceremony, a Las Vegas wedding seems tacky. You also won’t get that feeling of exclusivity on your wedding day, as you’ll likely encounter several other couples tying the knot that same day. Unless you marry at one of the resort-hotel chapels, you will have to find a separate place for the reception. Lastly, standard packages aren’t for everyone, as some people really enjoy laboring over every last detail to ensure perfection. You’ll have to discuss your visions with your spouse, friends and family to see if Las Vegas is the right location for you.
