Hi there! Just wanted anyone who's even thinking of getting married at the Orleans Hotel to be very, very careful! My fiance works for the military and is currently deployed. He left in January and is returning at the end of March and we're planning on getting married in April. He really wanted to participate in the decision making and planning so we needed to get everything done before he left. We don't live in Nevada, but really wanted to get married in Vegas and honeymoon at the Grand Canyon. We heard about the Orleans Hotel, looked into it, spoke with an event planner there, Chaz Morton, told gave him our dates, told him what we needed and to make a long story short, supposedly everything was set. I asked him and emailed him on 3 different occasions before I sent out the invitations just to make sure and was assured that rooms and rates promised were reserved for us. My future mil called to make reservations and the hotel never heard of us. Promptly called Chaz, he looked into it and somewhere along the line the ball got dropped and there is no block of rooms reserved, if we still wanted rooms the prices more than doubled, etc..... and no one seemed willing to work with me (since Mike had already left at this point) to work it out. I'm just glad to find out now and not a month before the wedding! If you're going with the Orleans, checking 3 times isn't enough!! Be careful!!!
