Thanks for the advice:)

It sounds pretty much like the hotels are all up there so I shouldn't go wrong with whichever I choose which is good to know!

Must get OH to give the Wynn a ring about the $500 ceremony now...loved the look of the weddings there but the price was too ott so this sounds excellent - thanks for the tip.

Can I just ask Steff, are the photos one of the packages from the wynn or is this using an outside photograper?

I theory it's a good idea, in practise it's not so easy.

I have been posting up to 18 offers at a time which means opening the link/email, copying the text, going back and copying the link and typing in the hotel name and other details if they are not already there.

I'm not only doing it on MSE, but on at least 2 other sites so it takes ages.

If I know how much the resort fee is then I have added it to the post.

However, I have also posted a link on here more than once to a current list of all the resort fees so that anyone who is interested in a particular offer can check the resort fees for themselves.

for sure . would be great to include the resort fees but i know the hassle of just Copying and Pasting deals . i gave up when i stopped looking for myself , so i really want to say a BIG

THANK YOU

for taking the time to post these Luci :grouphug:

Congratulations! A fellow wedding planner - lol. We're just honeymooning there, going out 3 weeks on Monday now....can't wait! Not sure when Stew was last on here but he had his wedding reception at Maggiano's, had great things to say about it. Hopefully he'll pop by soon.....

I love wedding talk, lol so feel free to ramble, I do anyway. The time will fly by and you'll be flying out before you know it. I remember us booking our wedding a year ago and can't believe it's almost time..... :beer:

Ermmmm, not sure if you mean me Mookybargirl, I have been to Maggiano's and loved it, I even went to Maggiano's in Philly as well as I liked it so much, however I was single when I went to Vegas last (almost a year ago now) and i'm still single now. Still here's hoping you've been seeing into the future:rotfl:

I still hang around here wandering through the thread but at this moment I have no plans to go back to Vegas though I'd love to, I'll keep living vicariously through you guys so keep the trip reports coming.

Hi Lexis,
The Wynn will not allow outside photographers in their chapel. As standard they have photographer/s in the chapel during the ceremony taking pictures. The holiday ceremony includes this BUT doesnt include any photos. You can buy the photos seperately AND you can upgrade the photography package to your taste, but this gets pricey (there are details on the Wynn website) We are not upgrading, simply buying some prints from their collection.
Our wedding planner has advised that guests CAN take photos but without flash I think she said.

Glad the tip helped you - $500 for the Wynn is AMAZING isnt it?!
Steff;)
