It is shaping up as a Vegas deal. I personally have lobbied for locating at Palm Springs and The Tropics but I can understand the lure of Las Vegas for these young-uns. So... any advise on a beautiful, meaningful (reasonable)site for the rites? Thanks, mrtikibar

The Torpicana has some cool sounding packages too. Here is a site that talks about hotels and their chapels. http://www.elvis-vegas.com/chapels/chapels.cfm http://www.vegas.com/weddings/hotelchapels.html

Elvis, hmm...I could use tips on what to avoid also. It gets a little overwhelming when she brings up the Bilagio website with the baroque music and everything. (Baroque as in broke.)

(the one that Scotty just mentioned) It was a lot more fun than we expected. BTW, The video was crappy, but the pictures were good. Elvis even wore a yarmuka for us...We stayed at the Treasure Island, eventhough we were entitled to stay at the viva las vegas room. It all depends on what they want out of it...I say if doing it Vegas, have "Elvis" marry you and make it a fun (yet cheesy) experience. After all, isn't that what Vegas is all about? Ran
FG Futura Girl Member Joined: Oct 01, 2002 Posts: 933	FG Futura Girl Posted posted on Thu, Aug 21, 2003 4:21 PM i second and third the notion of the viva las vegas theme weddings. what's the point of doing vegas without doing it the vegas way. http://www.vivalasvegasweddings.com/ if she wants to go bellagio - you may as well book at the most expensive wedding factories in your own home town and save on hotel bills by sleeping at home.

I went to the Little White "Drive Thru" Wedding Chapel on another marriage in Vegas. Its very convenient though...drive your car up to the window, give them $40 and PRESTO. I gotta quite going to Vegas. Seems like everytime I go I get married.

We had a blast. I would highly recommend the whole Elvis thing, but its not for everyone of course.

T TikiMaxton Member Portland, OR Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 559	T TikiMaxton Posted posted on Tue, Aug 26, 2003 12:04 PM Hey there, MrTikiBar! I'm behind on my posts, but a late congrats to you on the upcoming nuptials of your lovely daughter! I'd say it calls for a toast! When are you available? My sister-in-law is getting married in Vegas in October at the JW Marriott resort (WAAAY off-strip, and I'm guessing pretty pricey, knowing her), but here's how this little tidbit helps you: Maggie and I have been tapped for decorating duty, which means we'll likely be making a lot of Vegas contacts for wedding stuff. I would like nothing better than to pass on any knowledge I gain from this experience to you. And, since we're gonna be there for a week, I'd even be more than happy to scout for you, my friend, if you have a list of places you'd like me to check out. And I'm serious about that toast, too... Call me.

We got married at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel and had the Blue Hawiian package complete with Elvis and Hula Dancers. They decked the Chapel out in a Polynesian motif complete with palm trees. Elvis sang the Hawaiian Love Song and of course ended it up with ...you guessed it "Viva Las Vegas" Baby! Is seems like only yesterday!
C CruzinTiki Member Santa Cruz, CA Joined: Apr 13, 2003 Posts: 215	C CruzinTiki Posted posted on Fri, Aug 29, 2003 12:06 AM I read in one of my Vegas tourbooks that there is a chapel that hires out limo and minister to drive you up to the Mirage and marry you in front of the volcano as it erupts (complete with the piped in jungle drums in the background). If I can ever talk hubby into renewing our vows in Vegas I think I might go that way.

Say I do while cruising on the white Gondala at the Venetian. (The Venetian employs its own minister, although Elvis also is available). Even the basic rooms at the all-suite Venetian are captivating, but get one facing the strip for the light show. Thereafter, have a lovely dinner at one of the Venetian's resturants, or if numerous guests are attending, at the Canaletto (taco) resturant overlooking the canal. Finally, finish the evening carousing a the Venetian tiki bar Taboo Cove and dancing at Venus. Brunch the next morning at the Flamingo which has dinning overlooking the flamingo-filled lagoon.

Maxton, we should get together and catch up on things. I've been away for a while but would like to hear about your Vegas deal and your trip north. I'll be in touch.
M mrtikibar Member Neskowin, OR Joined: Jul 07, 2002 Posts: 837	M mrtikibar Posted posted on Thu, Oct 9, 2003 10:25 AM One final thank you for all the Vegas Wedding advice. Looks like it will happen at The Flamingo during spring break. I was pushing for the Tropicana as many of you had good things to say about it but unfortunately, it was booked. Also, Tikimaxton, if you haven't already headed down there, and if you have time to do some scouting, that would be very cool and appreciated.

The chapels are nice, too. You will have a lovely time.
