With over five million weddings under its belt, Las Vegas is even more the Wedding Capital of the World than when the city was dubbed that by the London Daily Herald in 1953. An estimated 300 couples a day get married here, and thankfully there’s both ample room for them to have a ceremony, and lots of ways to celebrate after the ceremony. Here are just ten ideas to get you started.
1. You can live the suite life
Nothing says once-in-a-lifetime like the sumptuous surroundings at legendary Strip resorts like Bellagio, where a sprawling pad with explosive views of those iconic fountains makes the perfect setting for creating honeymoon memories.
2. Romance isn’t dead
Certainly not at historic Downtown Las Vegas hideaways like Hugo’s Cellar, a classic steakhouse with fabulous wines where the ladies receive roses, and the classic Bananas foster dessert is prepared tableside.
3. Give married life a spin
Toast your marriage—and your resourcefulness—during one of the Happy Half Hour packages on the High Roller observation wheel at The LINQ, which offers 30 minutes of open bar with an epic view 550 feet above the Las Vegas Strip.
4. Pamper each other with a spa day
After the excitement of your Las Vegas wedding, you’ve earned some much-needed pampering to set the tone for the rest of your romantic getaway — choose from world-class facilities like the spa at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas. At Lapis Spa & Wellness at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, a spa pass gives you access to the first floor’s invigorating hot and cold rooms at your leisure. Or visit Amina Spa in SAHARA Las Vegas for a customizable couples massage.
5. Take your queen to Venice
Enjoy a semi-private moment (like real Venice, your ride will have spectators) with one of the gondola rides at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, offering both indoor and outdoor experiences. The rides come complete with singing gondolieri and you can even buy photo packages to commemorate the occasion.
6. …and treat her to dinner in Paris
Rated one of the romantic eateries in the U.S., the magnificent Eiffel Tower Restaurant offers critically acclaimed French dining with spectacular views of the Fountains of Bellagio and the Las Vegas Strip. Seeing as it’s a special occasion, go ahead and upgrade to a guaranteed window seat. Order the famous souffle as soon as you arrive so it will be ready by dessert.
7. Proclaim your love to the skies
Board a Maverick Helicopter tour to witness jaw-dropping sights such as the Hoover Dam or the Grand Canyon, with stops 3,500 feet below the rim — and return in time to gaze at the dazzling lights of the Las Vegas Strip from above.
8. Make a toast to wedded bliss
Las Vegas is home to some of the world’s best wine lists, but local venues like the Arts District’s Garagiste Wine Room offer a less high-stakes incursion into the world of viticulture. Stop in for a flight of their surprising, small-batch offerings from around the world.
9. Make fantasy a reality
Las Vegas after dark offers some of the most jaw-dropping stage shows you’ll ever witness. Be enchanted by the likes of Mystère by Cirque du Soleil at Treasure Island – TI Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, a show that has been dazzling audiences for over 30 years.
10. Find yourselves alone in nature
Leave the manmade world behind and disappear into the desert with a romantic drive through Red Rock Canyon. Or, let Pink Jeep Adventure Tours take the wheel for an invigorating day out.
