The words “Las Vegas wedding” generally brings to mind images of Elvis impersonator officiants and little white chapels. Yet there’s much more to Vegas nuptials than quickie ceremonies where both the bride and groom are heavily intoxicated! Sin City offers a number of fabulous locations for saying “I do,” including stunning outdoor options. Let’s review a few to inspire ideas for your upcoming Big Day:
Lake Mead
Lake Mead is approximately 30 minutes from the famous Vegas strip and is one of the largest man-made lakes in the country. It’s surrounded by glorious mountain vistas and features plenty of golden photo opportunities. If bluest-blue water, rock formations, colorful soils, and mountain ranges are the perfect backdrop for your wedding ceremony, consider the gorgeous Lake Mead.
Red Rock Canyon
Red Rock Canyon is a mere 20 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip and allows you to enter a beautiful, mystical desert world complete with red rock vistas sure to make your wedding photographer dance and sing. Spectacular rock formations are a fantastic backdrop for any wedding ceremony.
Valley Of Fire
The magical Valley of Fire is found one hour north of the Vegas strip. It’s unsurprisingly a very popular Las Vegas wedding venue due to its dazzling red rocks made of Aztec sandstone. The sandstone formed when hulking sand dunes shifted as dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Valley of Fire is also Nevada’s oldest state park, and a gorgeous location for your wedding.
Nelson Ghost Town
Nelson Ghost Town/Eldorado Canyon is yet another fabulous Las Vegas wedding venue. It was used as a location for the Elvis-inspired film 3000 Miles to Graceland and features remnants from the shoot, including the remains of a plane crash. If visiting ghost towns is a favorite pastime or you’re simply looking for an untraditional wedding, this location is ideal.
Country Club Golf
Country Club Golf Club is an elegant and private venue laden with flowing Willow trees, lovely arches, and lush greenery. It’s the perfect option if wanting to marry in Vegas but desiring an intimate setting with breathtaking views.
