I just got back yesterday from my scouting trip to Vegas. I am sooooooo glad I went. It's so amazing how things can completely change. One the the main reasons why I wanting to go was to look at the Vista Suite which I had booked a couple months ago.
Vista Suite @ Mandalay Bay
The first thing I did was go to Mandalay Bay to check out the Vista Suite. All the rooms were booked so I asked if we could come back the next day and they said sure just come between 12 and 3 pm. Well, we came back and they told us they were still booked but to come back in two days and they would be available to tour. We were leaving the following day so we decided to say an extra night just to see the damn room. FAIL! We went back on the day they told us and again no rooms were available to view. They were extremely rude and didnt care one bit about us having our reception there. So I decided to cancel my reservation and get my money back. I didn't want to have to deal witht these people and horrible customer service on my wedding day.
Retro Bakery
I emailed them and they never got back to me so I called to see about taste testing. They don't do that. You have to buy their cupcakes of each flavor to pick which one you want for your cake, so I decided to pass on them.
Freed's Bakery
We went taste testing here. So nice and helpful! And the cakes and fillings were delicious! I really recommend using them for your wedding cake. They will do anything to make you happy!
The Wedding Chapel at Treasure Island
Loved it! It was on its own floor so it was very calm and peaceful. The chapel was beautiful and Claudia was very helpful and walked me around the whole place. I felt very comfortable and I know thing will go very smooth on my wedding day, so I
bookedit! I'm soooooo excited to have my ceremony here!
The Stardust Suite at The Orleans
Since the Vista Suite did not go as planned I decided to check this suite out! All I can say is WOW! Its is absolutely amazing! I loved how it had a balcony so the guest can go out and smoke. The views are out of this world. You can see the entire strip, its crazy. We talked with Jay who was the most helpful person we could have of imagined. He didn't leave one detail out. You do have to use their catering, but if you spend 3500 then the room is free and that includes alcohol. They supply any table you need to bring in, any tablecloths you need, they have lots of decor for you which is really nice to have. I did some math and it'll come out cheaper in the long run. I'm definately going to have my reception here. I don't think I'll be pleased with anything else. The Stardust Suite is the best I could ever think of! I took many picture of the suite so if anyone want them, just let me know.
Well I think that's everything. I'm so happy I went and am very excited about how things are coming along!
YAY!
