I know I know, the Las vegas wedding has always been the equivalent for running away and eloping but sometimes it just makes sense in many ways.   This is going to be post #1 of many many posts covering things like, how to get a liceanse to best hotels & attractions.  I’ve been to Las Vegas many times over the last  years, for pleasure and for business conventions so I think I can talk about this subject well.  Plus I ALWAYS thought my own wedding would be in Vegas

If you’ve even entertained the idea of a Vegas wedding here are some convincing points I’ll make:

1. Wedding and honeymoon in one!  For those of you who have never been to Las Vegas it would be a perfect change to see it plus you don’t have to fly anywhere else for the honeymoon, it’s all outside your hotel doors.

2.  It can be as cheap or as lavish as your budget allows.  It is one of those cites where you can accomodate your whole extended family for under $20 per person per night OR you can spend the downpayment on your future house on a fancy resort.  From cheap all you can eat buffets downtown to Emerils new steakhouse… you make the call.  Either way, you will have a blast.

3.  Cheap entertainment.  Spend hours walking to each hotel on the strip to see their free sights, cheap 2×1 show tix, fun museums and natural attractions like Red Rock Canyon allows everyone to have fun on a budget. 

4.  It’s central for most people.  Sign up to receive news from the Airlines that fly to vegas from your city and you will find tons of great last minute deals.  Fly & stay during the weekdays & you’ll notice it’s cheaper.   

5.  Hotels are competitively priced, due to the sheer number of hotels being offered in the area, they must have deals & promos to attract customers.  If you stay in old downtown, prices can start at $25 per night!
