Getting married in Vegas is no longer a matter of Elvis-style officiants and quickie drive-through chapels. Nuptials here have come a long way, baby.
By: Karen Tina HarrisonRed Rock Resort
This exquisite contemporary casino resort captures the best of both Vegas worlds: desert and dazzle. Its setting, just outside town, puts the spotlight on you and your guests, with the Strip’s glam happenings within easy reach via a free shuttle. And Red Rock’s grand amenities help create individualized, affordable weddings, with group guest rates and photo ops as endless as the glowing horizon. Couples can exchange vows anywhere at the resort, from pool patios to oversized suites with gorgeous views, and even in the on-site bowling alley. Reception venues range from mountain-vista ballrooms to T-Bones Chophouse, to the Terra Rossa Tuscan restaurant or even a tent pitched in the resort’s gardens. Although your honeymoon suite (an automatic upgrade when you say “I Do” here) is a perfect hideaway, you may want to canoodle in a couple’s spa room, a private pool cabana or in a booth at the Cherry Nightclub.
The Bottom Line: Wedding packages include ceremony site fees, reception room setup, white-glove service, wine pours, a champagne toast and a three-course meal.
