Welcome to the forum and congrats to the happy couple!

What is important to you? Do you have a budget? Is there some reason that you would not utilize the Luxor since you are staying there? Do you/she prefer a separate chapel experience or a hotel package?

True that there are endless choices but perhaps the above will allow someone to help you more.

toondoug,

If you're going with a large hotel/casino property, you should first check where the wedding chapel/reception rooms are located on the property. At several hotels I've been to, (I want to say Mirage and Mandalay Bay, but I'm not positive) the wedding chapels were situated near the pool areas. Therefore, you saw masses of people coming in from the pool, dripping wet, dressed in swimwear, mingling in the hallways with formally-dressed wedding parties. Very strange.

I have only attending one wedding in L.V. and it was in the Monte Carlo hotel. It was actually rather nicely done. The chapels and reception rooms at the MC are on an upper floor, away from the casino and high-traffic areas.

That's attendED.

thanks for those thoughts .it would cut out lots of travelling in between chapel and restraunts to have it at the luxor , our daughter had an idea of having the meal at the statosphere , great views from there. willing to pay about 80$ per head
