I think you may find some of the more known hotels will be booked for December of this year. Since it was my friend's wedding, I didn't compare the prices of different venues but I believe the hotel chapels will be more expensive. However, there are plenty of cute little wedding chapels around Vegas which should be pretty reasonably priced and probably more flexible to book a time for you in December. Just remember, anything in the heart of the strip is going to be more expensive.

This is an excellent account of your trip! Thank you for your great descriptions and photos. Las Vegas tourism should be thankful for your effort. You are right about seven days being just a bit too long. I find that most visitors find that they can do it all in about four days, but your trips to the outlying areas (Red Rock, Hoover Dam) are well worth it as well.

Wow what a great trip. Your descriptions and photos were excellent. I have been to Vegas twice and plan on going again only this time by myself. I have taken notes from your trip and will add some to my agenda. Thanks again I really enjoyed reading about your trip.

To anyone renting a car in Vegas go with ALAMO! I am in Vegas 3 times a year and only rent with them. You can use your DEBIT CARD and they DO NOT put a hold on your card at all. I found out the hard way the very first time with Avis.

Great profile and pictures of your trip.

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your pictures. That was a lot of work and you did such an amazing job. I am in Vegas several times a year and I don't even have the wonderful pictures that you captured. If you aren't a professional photographer you should be! I made a comment above regarding the rental car situation. Try Alamo next time. No hold on your debit card at all! Thanks again!

If you all go to the Stratoshere, make sure you go to the Bar on the top for a cocktail or 2. The view is unbelievable and if you can go right before the sun goes down you can see the view during the day and the night. That is a tradition on every trip to Vegas! Don't miss it!
