Las Vegas is a hugely popular wedding destination. But, when most people think of a Vegas wedding, they either think of those little cheap wedding chapels, or an expensive resort on the Strip.  Lake Las Vegas Resort and Casino is a little different.  It's in Henderson, Nevada - close enough to the Strip, but also close to the beautiful Lake Mead National Recreation Area.  This gives you and your guests ample things to do, from gambling in the casinos to taking in nature.

Lake Las Vegas Resort and Casino surrounds a 320-acre private lake, and offers lakeside lodging, as well as two world-class golf courses.  They offer several different wedding packages, but this one for a small wedding celebration really caught my eye.  It's for small weddings up to 20 guests, for $3,250.00, and includes:

• Two night's one bedroom lake view accommodations
• Use of Celebration Plaza Gazebo, Town Heart Courtyard, or Grand Gardens ceremony venue
• Chair Rental up to 20 guests
• Non-denominational wedding Officiant
• One hour rehearsal with Officiant
• Wedding Planning Service
• Pre-recorded ceremony music
• Bride's Color Choice of:  Brides 12-Rose hand-tied satin ribbon bouquet, Groom's Boutonniere, Maid of Honor 5-Rose Bouquet, Best Man's Boutonniere, 4 bags of rose petals
• Professional Staff Photographer
• 24-Wedding Photos on CD Format
• First Dance
• Champagne & flutes

They also offer a wedding package for up to 40 guests, and a wedding package up to 150 guests.  For more information call 866-399-2747 or email jkgreen@intrawest.com
