From a great hotel that you can afford to finding a fantastic chapel that will do a great cheap Vegas wedding, the staff at the Las Vegas Tourism Office can do it. It’s like having a wedding planner for free. In addition to helping you with ceremony details, they can also track down hotel deals and group rates for your family and friends.

Ask the Front Desk at Your Hotel
Whether you’re staying at the Bellagio or The Golden Nugget, your hotel will most likely have a guest services officer or concierge. If you’re booking for yourself and your guests, they can often arrange either an on-site wedding for cheap or help you plan an affordable chapel wedding and small dinner reception at the hotel.
Like the Tourism Office, your hotel concierge knows the city well and can work within your budget.
Just Tour Las Vegas Blvd.
