Just booked flights and hotel for June wedding -now the wedding to book.....!!
Evening all
So I have just paid for our flights to vegas next year! We are leaving on 22nd June from Manchester, got 4 nights in Wynn Tower Room and will get married on the 24th!! So excited that we have the flights booked! Now need to sort the day, on my list is;
Chapel-thinking graceland chapel for an elvis wedding about 2pm
Photographer-Todd Wilson for 2 or 4 hour strip shoot?
HMU-glam squad or Harmony?
Drinks after the shoot-thinking chandelier bar
Olive in Bellagio for our wedding meal about 7pm-classic vegas and not crazy posh or expensive. Had good reviews from other VB.
My dress, shoes, veil, his outfit we will bring from the UK
Have I missed anything?
Thanks xx

I only know of it because the officiant my wife and I used, Rev Roland August, is one of the Elvis's they use and we really enjoyed his ceremony.
Of course, if you're not committed to using a chapel, another option would be to just hire him to come marry you somewhere else, as Elvis, and bypass the money spent on the chapel and then you get the side benefit of having Todd shoot the whole day instead of just before and after, so you end up with more ceremony pics from the photographer of your choice. Rev Roland will come to you if needed, http://www.themobileminister.com
Can't go wrong with Glam Squad or Harmony; both get consistently great reviews here.

-Children's Interpretive Trail at Willow Springs picnic area, short, no inclines, petrogylphs (ancient rock art!) 15 minutes hike tops.
-Calico Tanks, some elevation gain, 2-3 hours beautiful views of sandstone Pics and route description: http://www.birdandhike.com/Hike/Red_Rocks/Calico_Tank/_Calico_Tank.htm
-Ice Box Canyon, decline into a valley, seasonal waterfall at the end, also about 2-3 hours. Info: http://www.birdandhike.com/Hike/Red_Rocks/Icebox_Cyn/_Icebox.htm
Come back, clean up, take the heli tour (cool idea!) and head downtown. Food downtown, oh boy.
Under the canopy: Hugo's at Four Queens, very romantic. The Triple 7 Grill at Main Street Station is also a micro-brewery and has good food. http://www.mainstreetcasino.com/dine/triple-7-restaurant-and-microbrewery. I haven't been to Oscar's at the Plaza, but it might be fun, should have a great view of the whole neon spectacular. The D and The Downtown Grand both just opened, so my guess is their restaurants would be better than, say, the California.
Fremont East: Le Thai has great Thai food. Fun bars on this side of the street include Insert Coins, a video arcade bar; Don't Tell Mama's, a piano kareoke bar where the wait staff is all professionally-trained singers who entertain when guests aren't performing; Beauty Bar, modeled after a 50s beauty parlor that often features live music; the granddaddy of them all, Downtown Cocktail Room, which has a trick door. A few streets over, on Main Street, Velveteen Rabbit get serious about the art of cocktails but isn't stuffy about it at all.
When you're thinking about a show, check out the half-price ticket booths. They are legit, mostly unsold seats for performances that day, so you can score a great deal.
Roy's Cafe, or the Roy's Motel on the way from California back to Vegas? It's a fab building, but empty, which is a shame. Breaks my vintage-loving heart.
Really appreciate your advice x
