Post here if you are getting married in Las Vegas

Craftsteak is NO McDonald's!! Girrrrlllll... Craftsteak if owned by Tom Collichio, the main judge on Top Chef. It's probably one of the best restaurants in Vegas (for steak). Great choice!! They will LOVE their steak there and have many options. Some of the best chefs in America have set up restaurants in various hotel casinos, the concierge/front desk can suggest many fine dining establishments if you want more after being spoiled by Craftsteak. Off the top of my head, there's Bouchon at the Venetian owned by Thomas Keller Bouchon at The Venetian Restaurant and I've been dying to go to one of his restaurants, specifically the French Laundry in Napa Valley. I live less than 2 hours away but have yet ventured there...of course, there's a 6 month waiting list and it's about $300 per person to eat there...but imagine! Bouchon is more reasonably priced though, so don't worry. There's also the Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay where they have this gem of a burger:

Rossini $60.00

Kobe beef, sautéed foie gras, shaved truffles, Madeira sauce, on onion bun

Named after a XIX th century Italian composer whose love for fine food was legendary.

The preparation always includes foie gras, truffles and a rich brown sauce, in this case, Madeira.

 

Isn't it funny how we all want destination weddings? I love vegas, but since I grew up there, I don't want to get married there. Instead, I'm going to Mexico I wonder what it is that makes us desire to go somewhere exotic for our wedding? Oh, but I will be having my bachelorette party there, woot woot!

Hello Everyone...

I am getting married on 4/10/2010 at the Cresendo Pool at the Flamingo. We have decided to book a section of the buffet for the reception and then the Fire Side Lounge for drinks after.

Does anyone have photos from their Flamingo Wedding? I visited the grounds, but am very curious to see what it looks like all set up!

Viva Las Vegas!!

Hi everyone,

I'm getting married in the Wynn July 2010. There will probably be about 20 of us. Does anyone have any reception ideas or any ideas of what to do after the 3pm ceremony? I don't want a reception thats too flashy but then don't want tacky either! Thanks

try a private room at maggiano's for an early dinner reception. the food is great and they get great reviews for wedding receptions.

Thanks for that. Thats on my list. I am also considering the Wynn buffet, apparently they have a private room we can hire and then just have the normal buffet.

I am getting married in the Glass Garden at Chapel of the Flowers in 2011. Date was Oct 9, 2010 but decided to move it back a year. We're expecting about 30 guests. Everything is basically planned just not sure about the reception. I want it to be at whatever hotel we stay at. Was thinking the Flamingo, maybe the buffet? Any suggestions?
