Which ever hotel you think of staying in OR which ever one gives you the best choices remember one very important thing IT COULD BE VERY HOT that time of year. Having your wedding/reception inside the hotel where you are staying may be a very important thing it could be 120 deg outside! And yes I know about the AC but at that point AC doesn't cut it. BTW the Monte Carlo is quite nice, rooms etc though I don't know about the wedding stuff, good luck, mostly make it a fun time.

If I weren't scarce of heights, I would get married on the top of the stratosphere.

We got Married in our Church, and went to Vegas for our honeymoon. When I called to confirm our reservations I inadvertently mentioned that we were on our honeymoon. They lady said, "That's great, we'll upgrade your room for You!" Saweet deal I thought.
So when we got to the front desk to check in, I again inadvertently mentioned we were on our honeymoon. The desk clerk said, "That's wonderful, we'll have to upgrade your room!"

7 days in a 14th floor suite, overlooking the strip!! Was a great trip to say the least!

Very sweet!!

We booked our flights last night. I'm waiting to talk to the wedding planner at the Monte Carlo before we book our room, but the hotel is having a deal right now where you save 20% on the "strip view" rooms (23rd floor and up) so I think we'll go with one of those. We're going from a Sunday to a Thursday, so room rates are pretty cheap.

We won't need a reception or anything, since it will just be the two of us. I think we'll have a really fun time, and it won't break the budget!

Time to go dress shopping!!

taxlady · 01-10-2012, 11:38 PM

Dress shopping is SO much fun, a thought, because it is most likely to quite hot and very AC'd get a short dress, if it works for you, something that is layered or with a jacket or shrug that you can put on or take off. You most likely will be hot, I know it sounds goofy but the temp is a hard thing to work with inside the hotels. Have fun, Vegas is nice, tell everyone you are having your wedding or on your honeymoon, you will get lots of freebies.

It's fun. Best of luck and lots of love.

For my wedding I think we spent about $1500, maybe less??...not including my husbands suit. It was a very sweet intimate affair.

The only thing I regret is not hiring a photographer and videographer. So I highly recommend that to everyone!

God luck and congratulations!

DJDB · 01-11-2012, 08:08 AM

Thanks again for the advice, ladies.

Yes, I should definitely consider the temp. I hadn't even really thought about that, so thank you.

The wedding package at the Monte Carlo comes with photos. I got pricing, and it looks like the lowest cost is $585 plus minister fee of $85. That includes 12, 4 x 6 photos. I'll have to get at least one 8 x 10, but I'm sure we'll be able to pay extra $ for more pics. I get so frustrated with photos. All during school, kids' photos are like $20, then at grad time, the photos shoot up to $300. Same with wedding photos. Each picture will probably cost $85. Maybe I think about it too much, but it annoys me to no end!!

So, need dress and shoes, and getting hair and nails done. Fiance needs a suit. We've booked the flight, hotel, and a cirque show, but we can't book the chapel more than 60 days out from the ceremony date. It's awesome to see my fiance so excited. He's never been married before (at 44!). This is my 2nd wedding, and I think I'm a lot calmer than I was at 19.

We got married at a chapel and wish we would have gotten married in the Bellagio where we stayed.

We have stayed at the Bellagio as well and it is beautiful! If the weather is rainy and you want to take a walk,you need to walk through the malls at Ceasar's (human statues)and the Venicean (gondolla boat rides) lots to see besides the store,although they are like Rodeo Drive in LA. So many wonderful shows to see too.
Once you pick a hotel,ask them for places that they recommend for a wedding.

Hi,
Just thought I would offer a suggestion for the tartar situation. I have used a liquid product called Pet Dental by Four Paws for years. You mix it with their drinking water to help alleviate the tartar. It probably will not help if there if already a buildup on the teeth.The bottle does say it is a tartar remover.I am satisfied using it along with brushing the teeth and chews and things. I have seen it at Petco for sale though I buy it elsewhere.

DJDB · 01-11-2012, 01:39 PM

I just saw some reviews of the Monte Carlo chapel by people who have used their services, and it all looked good except they seem to charge insane prices for a CD of photos that you can copy... like $900 to $1500!! That is more than insane, considering some of the chapels give you a CD without copyright for under $200. So, I guess I will be looking for a chapel elsewhere in Vegas!

Don't worry about the pictures, the lady who takes them is pretty good remember that's HER job, and generally there's a pretty good rate, get as much as you can done at home where you know the person who will do your nails, etc. that way you won't be hurried or worried. Guys got it made they just need a real nice suit, and shoes that match, maybe a rental?

, us that's a different thing, LOTS of planning,

LOL stars, you know, LOL. Nice dinner, candles, wine, oooooohhhh, nice. Have fun. Oh, are you taking your "baby"?

Just saw that the Limited has a sale on wedding dresses $99 and under and I thought of you.

The Limited

I'm really excited for you!!

BabyFidgette · 01-12-2012, 06:29 AM

All I have to say is I'd LOVE to get married in Vegas!!!! Good luck!

Wow, those are great and a fabulous price! Thanks! I will be looking everywhere for a good dress bargain.

DJDB · 01-12-2012, 08:34 AM

Upon further discussion with my fiance, we decided to stick with the hotel we're staying at for the chapel. Hopefully we can work in some more photos for a reasonable amount.

I will get my nails done here before we leave, but will be relying on the hotel salon to do my hair the day of the ceremony. I don't want anything too fancy, and I'm sure they do weddings every day, so I trust they'll do a good job.

I found this web site and think getting this for my fiance as a wedding gift would be great...

I know he would love that!

We are not taking Oz, but I'm not worried. Family members will be fighting over who gets to babysit while we are gone. He will be well looked after.
