Neon Nuptials: The Complete Guide to Las Vegas Weddings

Out of all the books I read on weddings in Vegas, this one was the best! It had everything I wanted to know about the locations and accomodations. Well worth the money if you plan on getting married there, but don't know what chapel to choose.

My fiance and I are going to Las Vegas in May to tie the knot. I was so excited to find this book! It gives totally complete reveiws of each and every chapel and rates them in a fun and informative way using grades such as "Kitch Factor" and "Romance Quotient" along with hours and costs etc. Every chapel is listed....there are separate sections for stand alone chapels and those in the casinos. It gives history of the chapels and little quirks, if Elvis is in the building, or the more traditional. There are all kinds of tips along the way, and at the end is some info on great restaurants and entertainment. I have read it cover to cover and am so glad it came into my life at the right time. It has made my planning MUCH easier! If you are getting married Vegas Style you NEED this book!

After reading about a local couple renewing their vows in Las Vegas with an Elvis impersonator performing the ceremony, it doesn't surprise me that there's a whole book devoted to Las Vegas weddings. This book covers the pricing, description of the facility, hours, types of ceremonies and even languages spoken. It also factors in how clean they are, how romantic, friendly and even how oddball the place might be. If you're thinking of taking the plunge into matrimony, this book will help you plan the ultimate Las Vegas wedding.

This is a great guide to getting spliced in Lost Wages. Van Vechten has a nice style - He's very informative, but keeps things light and humorous. Even if you're not planning on getting married anytime soon, it's a fun read and a good addition to your Vegas library.

Ken Van Vechten has written a book that tells us everything we would want to know about how to get arried in Las Vegasand what kind of experience it would be. The book is thoroughly up to date and even has the new 1 billion dollars WYNN Hotel erected by Steve Wynn. The author says this is his first book but his writing style is so slick and stylish that immediately it clicks, makes you want to go there and share in the fun and who knows, propose? He goes to every wedding chapel on the strip and beyond, and rates them for their various amenities, including if there is a dressing room available for the bride (and//or the groom)-something that will come in extremely useful. Along the way he tells funny stories, some scandalous, about the different celebrity weddings held in these chapels over the years. Remember when Britney Spears got married the first time-to a "friend"? You'll hear the inside scoop here. But it's not just about weddings. Through the magic of Van Vechten's prose you'll feel like you're driving in an open convertible right through the heart of the world's most improbable real estate. He even suggests free things you might like to do if you're there on a budget. He tells you the best ways to book rooms at the hotels, and he discusses why the square foot rate of the average Vegas hotel room is so different than the general rate prevalent in all of America. (It's bizarre!) The little sidebars along are worth the price of this book. And there's more about weddings themselves than most people know: did you realize that every flower in the bride's bouquet has some arcane significance? Ken Van Vechten does and he provides a list to help you deconstruct the arrangement!
