***Krisstyle12***...Saw IP 4 U!
Hey Girl!
Read your post regarding having booked IP, site unseen. I'm in LAS, bored on a layover. Our hotel is walking distance from IP....so I strolled on over to check it out, to hopefully relieve some of your worry. And....It is LOVELY!! Looks exactly as it does on the website. I think you'll be happy!
I'm going to be honest...and I'm not telling you this to stress you out. Im telling you so you won't face any surprises in 6 weeks. IP has a lot of construction going on out front from the LV Blvd entrance side. Hopefully it will have lessened in another 6 weeks. And the casino?--it's time for a make over. (old) But it was busy in there, though! However---once I got to the chapel area on the 4th floor---totally different place! It's all redone. The chapel waiting area (for your guests etc) has been painted, has nice furniture etc.
I was hoping to snap a pic to post for you, but there was nobody around to let me in and the door was locked! I saw what I did, peeking thru the stained glass in the door. It's an intimate size. I believe I saw (don't quote me) 8 rows with 5 chairs per row. If I'm correct that'd be 80 seats, 40 each side. Even just peeking thru the door, I could see how pretty it was! They had (from the last wedding?) up lighting (2 alternating colors) in blue and green with a Vegas background lit up front. An elegant swirled pattern in the carpet going up the aisle. Silver chiavari chairs, it's pretty, and its EXACTLY what you've seen online! I don't know you personally to know your tastes, but if you liked what you saw via the website--you'll be happy on wedding day!
HTH. (((hugs))) to you!

I knew the casino was ghetoo, I don't even care. Once they get to that chapel they will know why I picked it. Love!
Are both bridal rooms for the same chapel? One for goom one for bride, something like that? The wood floor one looks nicer, more modern.

Sorry Southern....I am not familiar with ANY of these! Nor do I recall any posts regarding these venues. Good luck getting additional info. Again, I will help when/where/if I can.
Oh, and I finally received my long dress and was able to try it on tonight and it fits!!! It is too big for me, but we are going to have it altered. It is super sexy in the back. I can't wait for you guys to see it after alterations! It looks bomb with my jewelry and shoes too.

[QUOTE]The bigger one with the wood floor in definitely nicer. It's next to the smaller chapel with the southwestern theme. The small chapel seats 15? max and those seats feel very close to the altar. The smaller bridal room is next to the bigger chapel. Back in March when I looked at it the coordinator told me if the second chapel wasn't in use, either was an option to use.

Mango, did you send me Platinum rooftop vid too? One of the vids I received today definitely doesn't look like IP, but I may have gotten things mixed up.

</div><div>Yes. I thought that one was titled. The pics from inside the room didn't come out so well, probably because there were no lights on</div><div>
</div><div>I have a few pics of one of the suites at Platinum if you're interested in those too. It's not a hosting suite by any means- just one meant for sleeping. Platinum was supposed to be condos before it was bought out to be a hotel so the rooms are like apartments - at least the one I saw.</div><div>

[QUOTE]I'm all about crashing weddings lol. Funny thing is I might be in town on your wedding day. <strong> I am going back to Vegas for court in late August to give a nice staredown to the a**holes who stole my luggage in March and their court date is your wedding day ha.
Posted by vegasgroom</strong>[/QUOTE]
VG, good luck in Court! I hope this is "strike three" against those a$$holes who stole your luggage and they actually serve time for the theft. Doubtful, of course, but you can always hope.
[QUOTE]Stewy, Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrl, you know you need to crash my wedding, right? LOL! I decided I was going to like this chapel no matter what, but you definitely made my day! Oh, and I finally received my long dress and was able to try it on tonight and it fits!!! It is too big for me, but we are going to have it altered. It is super sexy in the back. I can't wait for you guys to see it after alterations! It looks bomb with my jewelry and shoes too.
Posted by krisstyle12[/QUOTE]
Lmao--Girrrrrrrrrrl, don't threaten me with an invite to crash...cuz I will!! : D Seriously, I'm glad to have helped, and I am glad you are happy. After all, I was literally around the corner, sitting in a free hotel room, with nothing to do. I needed to kill time waiting for dinner time to roll around. (met my folks for dinner) Glad everything is falling into place for you. Since Starry, NyCheryl, and Kings weddings are over--you are my new obsession! Lol.

One of them has actually done a year in prison and is possibly still on parole so he'll definitely be going back. First offense for the other. I have a feeling the county intends to come down hard on themto set an example about luggage thieves since that could have a huge effect on tourism if it happens to too many visitors.

</div><div>I'm glad I was able to take video that day of inside the chapel, sometimes still pics don't give you a good feel for what you are looking at.

[QUOTE]Mango--Thanks for sharing your IP pics. I just saw them on VGs site, and they really give a great visual. (my review was thru the stained glass) Those pics should give future brides a better idea of what to [pleasantly] expect, considering what you see downstairs! And, great tip about using the valet entrance to head straight to the chapel.
