I thought I would share info from my scouting trip! Thanks to all the info on here I had to check out Mandalay Bay because I want a fun, informal in suite reception. The coordinator I originally emailed is no longer there, but the one that met us was super nice. We first went to the two indoor chapels, then Valley of the Falls. Pretty location and I originally thought that's where I wanted to have the ceremony. Pricey relocation fee but very pretty. Then at 2 pm we went to the concierge to go on a suite tour (they do it every day at 2). Vista: awesome! The view is killer. There are only 6. Media: awesome too but not as good of a layout and only a 2 seater bar top. Hospitality: oh em gee! It's beautiful and huge and has its own ice machine! Only a view of the pool though. For the number of guests we have 40 Max, we went with hospitality. For the night after taxes and fees it was $840. I know we will have to get catering through there, food and bev will be about $3500 including open bar for 4 hours. If the number drops then we can cancel up to 48 hours before and just go smaller scale in the vista. It's running about $500 right now in April when you go through smarter vegas.
Now Paris! I came across because they have a packaged deal with a huge 2200 sq foot suite for 2 nights for $6600 including ceremony. However the suite is at ballys, under construction, and since we couldn't see it I wasn't booking it. The Chapel du Paradis is stunning, and the packages are so super reasonable. We are having a ceremony with upgraded flowers, music, photography, etc for 1700.
Hope this has helped!
