Looks good to me. I think we also allowed 2 hours for the strip tour and although the time went by fast, we ended up with a ton of shots. I think if my feet hadn't have started hurting, we would have done more, but I couldn't walk another step so we just headed to our reception venue and took the rest of the shots there before the reception started. Therefore, I would suggest bringing a back up pair of shoes for your strip tour. No lie, I had a huge blister on my foot more than a month after the wedding. :

I didnt think I needed to have soo much time for strip photos... But maybe I need to rethink that.. It's gonna be July and it's gonna be HOTTTTT.... the ceremony is at 7pm.. I thought of doing them before.. but I dont know..

I really think doing them at 9:30 will really be nice with the VEGAS LIGHTS..

I think you may have a lil bit of relax time in there with the minister meeting.. you know.. they seem to flow pretty smooth and quick

if i were you i would do them at night cuz it will be so pretty! plus you dont want to get to the ceremony and your makeup is a mess cuz youve been in vegas heat all day. if it were me by the time of the ceremony id have such an attitude from being overheated lol

No we didnt have dancing at ours.  We had a real small party, like less than 20 people so we just had a private table, toasts, dinner and cake cutting.
