And the search begins....

So like I mentioned before, I have 8 casinos that I'm checking out wedding packages at, they are in no particular order:

The Stratopshere
The Monte Carlo
The Luxor
Circus Circus
The Mirage
Planet Hollywood
Hard Rock Hotel
Mandalay Bay

So what I am going to do is list out the Pros and Cons as I get through them.....

The Stratosphere
Pros-
I'd get married on the 103rd floor with a view over most of Las Vegas.
The photography and DVD of the ceremony are included with the package price
The wedding cake and champagne toast are included in the package price

Cons-
I don't like the pictures of the chairs in the chapel or the chapel itself
I have a limit of 25 guests including the wedding party, or there is an additional fee
Did I mention I don't like the chairs???

The Hard Rock Hotel
Pros-
I LOVE the Rock n' Roll wedding theme
They have a whole brochure of chairs in various colors to choose from
The wedding coordinator I spoke with was a LOT of fun to talk to on the phone.
The guest list limit is 100

Cons-
Almost nothing is included in the package price
The package prices are EXPENSIVE, like seriously EXPENSIVE
I have to hire a photographer, videographer, and officiant

The Monte Carlo
Pros-
Reasonably priced
The photography and DVD is included in the package price
The guest list is a limit of 100

Cons-
I really don't like the chapel or the chairs (the chairs are a big deal for me, don't ask, I don't know why)
The wedding coordinator I spoke with was kind of rude, and short to answer questions
Their reception brochure pricing is misleading

That is all I have for today, hopefully I will get through a few more tomorrow.......I'd really like to get through the list this week.

Until next time,

Stephanie
