Las Vegas Eloping

Casinos, Elvis Wedding, Drive Thru Chapel

Las Vegas offers an incredible number of choices for the eloping couple, which is why Las Vegas is considered The Wedding Capital of the World. You can marry in a casino wedding chapel, or choose one of the many smaller wedding chapels which dot the Strip.  A few of the standout casino packages and other wedding venues are included below:

Casino Elopement Choices

The Venetian Hotel

The Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas offers couples many wonderful wedding ceremony locations. They have three beautifully decorated wedding chapels, in addition to their famous canal, where couples can marry while floating in their own private gondola. The gondola package, which costs around $800, (more on Friday - Sunday) includes your own gondola as well as an officiant to perform the ceremony. You can also choose to say your vows on the bridge in their replica of St. Mark's Square, although this package is about three times as costly as the gondola package.

The Bellagio
3600 Las Vegas Blvd. South
Las Vegas, NV
888-987-6667

The upscale Bellagio Resort has earned the Five Diamond Award from AAA and is another beautiful location for your wedding. In addition to the two wedding chapels at the Bellagio, couples also have several other distinctive venues, including the Terrazza Di Sogno, or Terrace of Dreams, which is a lovely terrace location for groups up to 34. This wedding location offers stunning views of the Bellagio’s lake and fountains. If you choose this site, the fountains will be turned on as the vows are sealed with a kiss. 

Wedding packages at the Bellagio are definitely not the cheap, quickie type that Las Vegas is famous for.  Packages start at fifteen hundred and soar to over fifteen thousand.  What does all that money get you?  Besides the wedding location, packages include such things as your flowers, limousine service, photography and videography packages.  Some packages even include a penthouse suite, meals, show tickets and spa and salon services.  High end bottles of champagne and Waterford crystal also come with a few of the packages. 

The Bellagio also offers something that many other Vegas wedding venues don't - such as a Jewish wedding package and Spanish and German speaking ministers and live musicians including a harpist. And, if you are not yet engaged, the Bellagio offers a romantic proposal package.  You can propose to the love of your life on the romantic terrace overlooking the lake and fountains.

Okay, if you can't make it to the most romantic city in the world, there's the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. It comes with its own replica of the Eiffel Tower. Can you imagine saying "I do" fifty stories up, overlooking all of Las Vegas?  

Well, you can with the Eiffel Tower wedding packages. These packages are priced as low as $2,000 for the Eiffel Tower Petite package on up to $12,000 for the "Eiffel Tower at Twilight" weekend package. Yes, it's pricey, but, when you consider the average price of a large wedding at home is now approaching an average of $25,000, it almost seems cheap!  If you're seeking something unique or elegant for your Las Vegas elopement wedding, you will certainly want to give the Paris Hotel & Casino some serious consideration.
