Destination Romance in Las Vegas

Las Vegas is the birthplace of destination weddings, so it makes sense that the location has a plethora of options to fit any couple’s style. If you want to say “I do” in Sin City without sacrificing elegance, consider The Venetian or The Palazzo. The two all-suite hotels occupy prime real estate on the strip and boast some of the largest and most sophisticated rooms. Staying at either grants you easy access to both hotels.

Exchanging vows at either The Venetian or The Palazzo offers you spaces ranging from elegant chapels (similar to private ballrooms), sweeping terraces and shaded courtyards, to an indoor replica of Venice’s St. Mark’s Square. With thousands of weddings’ worth of experience, anything is possible and The Venetian has dozens of packages to choose from. The most unique option is a 15-minute ceremony that takes place aboard a white wedding gondola on the Grand Canal. Celebrate being newlyweds with a serenade from your gondolier as crowds shout their congratulations. Only in Vegas!
