In addition, the greater Vegas area is bespeckled with beautiful
venues from golf courses to parks. Nearly every casino has a room
(or two) dedicated to the ceremony and the after party, and you can
have every aspect planned, from the “I do’s” to the reception, to
the actual honeymoon within a single locale if you so choose. Some
of the popular chapels about town include: Las Vegas Weddings
at The Grove – A beautiful outdoor venue with several options
depending on the size of your wedding and your preferences.
Wedding Bells Chapel – Right across for the
Hard Rock,
offers a beautiful intimate setting and makes it easy for your
guests to party afterwards.
Vegas Wedding Chapel – Downtown beautiful indoor wedding,
away from the Strip, and right across the street the wedding
licensing office.
Chapel in the Clouds at the Stratosphere Tower – A very
unique venue in the tallest building west of the Mississippi.
Graceland Chapel – Naturally, if you’re in Vegas, Elvis is
more than happy to marry you.
Places to Stay
in Vegas for Couples
Vegas has something for everyone, and if you are looking for
romance you fall within the everyone category. Almost every hotel
has a number of rooms made just for couples, and many of the
off-Strip casinos are positively beautiful. Perhaps the top five
most romantic places to stay in Vegas are as follows:
The
Venetian – Something about little Italy brings out the
romance in everyone. Add in the gondola rides, wonderful
restaurants, and couples-friendly atmosphere and it is easy to see
why this would be the top choice.
Paris Las
Vegas – From the piano bars to the Eiffel Tower, Paris may
be the official romance capital of the world, but can you play
blackjack while you sip martinis and gawk at the Eiffel Tower in
Paris? We didn’t think so.
Bellagio
–Perhaps the most opulent hotel on the Strip, from the art
gallery to the gardens your stay will be filled with beauty. Of
course the amazing water show only adds to the mood.
Luxor
– One does not generally think of ancient Egypt when they think
of romance, but the Luxor remains one of the most unique structures
in Las Vegas, and Fusia restaurant and lounge within one of the most
romantic dining areas. There spa the Oasis is also a favorite.
Wynn
– Before
CityCenter was built it was the most expensive property on the
Strip. From the romantic Lagoon to Tryst located beneath a
waterfall, Wynn has a lot to offer couples.
Restaurants
Dining is always a consideration on weddings, honeymoons,
anniversaries, or just for when you want to spend some time with
that special someone. We’ve already mentioned Fusia within the
Luxor. Some additional popular destinations for couple’s dining are:
Top of the World – Within the Stratosphere, this
restaurant offers perhaps the best view of the Strip in town.
Eiffel Tower Restaurant – Dine while you take in the
splendor of the water show at Bellagio.
Mon Ami Gabi – Also inside the Paris, and right on the
Strip. Say what you will about the French, they know romance.
Mix – Offers excellent food high atop THEhotel.
Alize – More dining in the sky at the popular party spot
Palms.
Shops
Looking for that special something for sweetie? You can find it
on the Strip and some of the best known shops include:
Tiffany’s at Crystals – Let your credit card say “I love
you”, you’re sure to find something you’ll both remember here.
Via Bellagio – Some unique high-end jewelry for your
lover.
Jane Carroll’s Creations or Godiva Chocolatier – For
sweethearts with a sweet tooth, at Caesar’s and Planet Hollywood
respectively.
The Forum Shops at Caesars – You can find basically
anything you are looking for, and the architecture and atmosphere is
beautiful.
Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian – Like the forum
shops, this will have just about anything you need, plus a gondola
ride.
What to Do
It’s virtually impossible to run out of things to do in Vegas. If
you’ve seen all the sites from the Bellagio water show to the
Fremont Street Experience, and you’ve caught some of the wonderful
shows for couples like Zumanity in the New York-New York, or Phantom
at the Venetian, try something that will really get your adrenalin
going... outside of the bedroom that is. Here is some fun stuff to
do for couples while you’re here:
Take a Helicopter
tour of the Strip. These take off just as the
sun is setting and offer the most beautiful view of the city
possible.
Try some indoor sky diving on Convention Center Dr. Or even do
the real thing. Flights take off periodically.
How about some friendly competition at Pole Positions, one of the
most enjoyable go-cart tracks anywhere located right across from the
Palms Hotel.
To get out of the city and closer to nature for a day, the ATV
Hidden Valley Tour is just about the most fun you will ever have.
And if the go-carts weren’t enough for you, check out the Exotic
Driving Experience at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where you can
drive your dream car really, really fast.
Other things you can fill your day with include
Bodies The Exhibition and
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition in Luxor,
CSI: The Experience in MGM, the
Secret Garden and the Mirage, roller coasters at New York-New
York, Sahara, Circus Circus, and Stratosphere, or check out some art
at Bellagio’s Gallery of Fine Art or CityCenter Fine Art Collection.
