Hello girls, I'm getting Married in 16 months at the little chapel of the flowers, any tips, advise or maybe someone out there who's married their?

Love Kirsty xxxx

i too will more than happy tp answer questons on ANYTHING to do with vegas

We did two hotels in Vegas as we flew in on the Monday, got married on the Thursday and on the Saturday we picked up a Harley and went on a mini-road trip up to the Grand Canyon. We then came back to Vegas.
We stayed the first 5 nights at the MGM Grand in one of their Queen Bungalow Suites. We decided the extra room for me to get ready in would be welcomed...and it was! If you're looking for personal service, then this isn't the place for you. It's huge, in fact, the largest hotel in Vegas and it took us a couple of days to get oriented fully in it, and then we still managed to discover places we'd not been to in it before LOL! It's a great location and has pretty much everything you could need on site, including the Lion enclosure!
When we came back from the road-trip, we stayed at the Four Seasons. It was hilarious as we'd just dropped the bike off and were both in our scruffy biker gear, dripping with sweat, as we were in leathers in 40C heat, looking a right state! The service there was unbelievable. They never looked down their noses at us for being dressed like that and we even got a free up-grade as we were on our honeymoon. The suite was awesome - 34 floors up with Strip views with ceiling to floor windows. The beds were the most comfortable thing I've ever slept it, ever. The only down-side is that it's right at the bottom of the strip and although only diagonally opposite the MGM on the map, it really did make all the difference - probably an additional 15-20 min walk taking into account the main road you have to cross to get there. It was actually cheaper to stay there than at the MGM, probably due to the location.
We flew with V*rg*n and they were great. Got comp'd to the V-lounge at Gatwick and they stowed my wedding dress box (taken as hand luggage) in the cockpit with the pilot for safe-keeping.
Hope that helps!
We did say that when we go back (and we will) we'd like to stay at the Mandalay Bay - it's sheer opulence, but it's by no means cheap.

We couldn't book until 11 mths before thu V - that's because flight's aren't available until then. My friend stayed at the Bellagio for her honeymoon - she loved it. Oh, and the buffet there is amazing - HUGE snow crab claws - yummy!!!!

I love Vegas, we went last year and got engaged watching the fountain one evening at the Bellagio!! I wish I could go every year. MY hot tip would be the show Absinthe - by Ceasers Palace - if it's still on. It's like Cirq de solei - but with comedy - and definitely for adults ( not in a sexy way - just in a slightly rude jokes kinda way).


Enjoy!! xx

Oh no just looked at the weather in Vegas in February and it's pretty cold, can any one shed any light on this?

They have season in Las Vegas too. Sorry I couldn't resist. Vegas is in the middle of the dessert so extreme temperatures are the norm. It'll be warm during the day and freezing at night. Have another look at the average temps and look at the difference between the highs and lows. Even in summer it is common to have a 15 degree difference between day and night.
That said it isn't unusual to have warm spells that time of year and the area does average 300 sunny days a year.

Lala - Yes, we definitely got 10% off - you have to book directly with them and only cards ending with certain 4 digits are valid for it, but yes, we definitely got 10% off with them. You have to book through V!rg!n HOLIDAYS and not atlantic...

It really wasn't tacky. It CAN be...if, for example, you go with the whole 'midget-elvis as a celebrant, drive-thru' thing ;)

Not at all! We went for the second cheapest ceremony as it included more, including live webstream back to the UK. We paid $299 for that package, which also included a selection of photos including more on disc, and limo to and from the chapel. We obviously then had flights and hotels etc, but the whole thing still worked out cheaper than the UK. All our friends that came over paid for themselves, except on the wedding day, when we paid for the lunch for everyone at the top of the world restaurant. We did lunch rather than dinner to keep the costs down and that was $50 a head. My uncle paid for all the wine and champagne package for everyone, which was actually more expensive than the food LOL!
We then did a sunset limo tour which lasted 3 hours, and that cost us $300. So, no, I don't think it's terribly expensive at all. x

Amazing. Although I was sick at the table due to motion sickness, so I wouldn't go back there, personally LOL! The views are fantastic, the food is awesome and the service was impeccable.

Woohoo! I shall get the world to marry in Vegas...*cue evil laugh*!

Lol LK :) Little Miss you need to tell H2B that the people in Vegas get married there as well and most of them aren't going to go for tacky, just like most people in the UK don't go for tacky. Seriously, all he has to do is look at some LV venues websites to see there are plenty of non-tacky options :)

I agree Samantha, it looks amazing out there! I agree with people having tacky wherever you go! Hes just said it looks tacky and doesnt float his boat... tough sh** we are going :o) xxx

Thank u sweet :o) xxx

Little Kettle that is seriously amazing, for whats paid there you could only get a venue with here! You have totally made my decision set in stone and it sounds like it was a magical time for you both :o) xxx

Love your pics, especially the last one :)

Thanks :) It was exactly a year ago today! You timed it just right as I'm feeling all mushy again LOL!

Re the random people...it was really embarrassing first of all, then it was kinda nice, and then it just got annoying....especially the high-pitched 'Owwwww, myyyyyyy gaaaaawwwwd''s LOL!

I went to my cousins wedding in Vegas in 2009 & loved it! even if i was 6months pregnant & only 18 lol

We stayed in Excalibur hotel, was lovely, staff were brilliant, we had family stay in mandalay bay & bellagio... Both were lovely hotels.
The lion enclosure in MGM grand was brilliant :D in Mandalay bay they have a little aquarium too with sharks... & there is another hotel with animals in but cant remember.....

The wedding we went too was lovely, they had some gorgeous photos taken, the wedding was in Excalibur...

They have some good shows about too. we went to the one in our hotel with the knights - cant remeber what the show was called! haha
