Hey guys god this is a thread on vegas,would take me days to go through it all,probably some useful stuff on here to take note of and find out.
Myself and future wife is thinking of getting married in vegas,we have changed out mind a few times but back on vegas again,what put us off was some looked tacky.

She did not like that and so looked at elsewhere but since she has spoken to another girl she now wants to go unless we change our mind again.

I am looking for ideas or where to get married,dont want it to be too tacky,maybe a nice location outside or inside,lots of pics a video well just the package really,i do see that some travel agents we have offer packages.
There would i think only be us two and my parents,would i get discount if booking parents same time?
Is there a good time of year to get married there?
My girlfriend has her dress already and me being scottish is there places in vegas i can get a good outfit for that day,was gonna hire but thats no good as only be for one day and probably be away for 2 weeks anyway.

I have no idea what i can add as extras for our weddding what you guys would recommend thats been there and done it,but i do want to keep costs low but also make it special too,I could have had wedding back home but one reason was to do it here instead to keep my costs down as we plan on moving overseas next year or after and need to get things rolling on that asap.

As i not been to vegas before and i will have my oldies with me is there plenty to do and see there apart from a casino,i not been through this thread and im sure there is loads but just thought i ask.

Really want the wed venue to be special as so our pics look great and locations we might be taken too so also make them stand out.

I sometimes wonder if its best booking all myself diy or through a travel agent at least with a travel agent if anything went wrong your covered,just like we was ok a few years back in florida when our airline went bust.

Is there a recommended airline to fly with,we was also thinking of doing ny on way back but that might be too much hassle

Anyway any advise or help on our wedding day would be great,we hope to make this happen next year and really need to get things planned out or even deposit down at least.

Hi Guys,

Looking at going to vegas next August.

Direct Flight prices are around the £750 mark. Is it best to book earlier on or likely that prices will come down at some point?

Not to worried about indirect flights either, but they seem around the £680 mark at the mo.


Whats peoples thoughts on booking now or waiting?


Thanks

£750 is a lot me and gf are going 22nd aug we can get a week in vegas booking direct with virgin flight and circus circus for £1490.
Of course i dont suggest staying there but would be cheaper to book it like that and includes free transfer to hotel. we are going for excalibur for £1700. I normally fly indirect which is fine for me, other people on here may be able to tell you when the tax rise is due on airfares, maybe November

i'm not as experienced as some on here, but wouldn't have thought prices would go down much, as you're travelling at peak time (ie. August, summer holidays).

you'd get cheaper prices in September I'm pretty sure...

Prices are a little higher in August generally but next year they are VERY high, but then again the cheapest I can find going direct even outside of July and Aug is £585 in June and Sep with BA. It looks like it is going to be expensive next year.

OX Boy, I normaly book as soon as prices are released but they were £750 which is at lease £200 more than I have ever seen them 11 months ahead. There is a tax increase but not £200 AFAIK.

If you want to pay that much go ahead there is no gtee they will be any cheaper nearer the time, but I am hoping they will be

Direct flights this August wuth Virgin were around the £550 mark or less with miles plus money
