Yes, we did. We actually had our bachelor and bachelorette party there the week before our planned wedding ceremony/reception back in San Diego. Our wedding ceremony/reception was on Thanksgiving weekend so for us, it worked our great because we had friends and family fly into Las Vegas on Saturday morning. We went downtown first to get the marriage license and then once all of our friends and family flew in, we had dinner together. From there, we went to the "clubs" and met back at the Little White Wedding Chapel at 2am to get married by Elvis. We had about 30 of our friends and family actually make the trip to Las Vegas and we figured, why not get married in Las Vegas instead of getting married in San Diego where you basically stand in line at the court house and pay $50. This way, we'll def remember our wedding night and it was so fun.
When we finally woke up on Sunday morning, to top off the weekend, my wife was trying to show her friend how to play one of the nickel slots and in leaning over, she accidentally hit the Max Bet button and luckily hit the jackpot. It wasn't anything that would put us on the news but it was enought o cover our expenses for the weekend so it was a nice way to cap it off until the reception with our parents and other friends and family that couldn't make it. It was a good sized wedding of about 175 people but getting married in Vegas was so fun.
We actually looked into those wedding packages at the Bellagio and such. They're actually really nice and not as expesnive as we thought it might be. They're still pricey but not as pricey as we thought. At the end of the day we didn't do that just because of the logistics of getting our parents and ohter guests there so we just figured that we'd saved the
"main" reception for the Saturday after thanksgiving and stick with our wedding at the Little White Wedding Chapel.
If you're thinking about doing it, make it big and fun. All of our friends that went and we told our plans to, loved it and were so excited to be part of our Vegas wedding.
