    Aah congrats Duchy :)

    We got married at A Special Memory in 2010. We went for the drive-thru limo wedding package as it was just the two of us and we wanted something a bit different; it went perfectly. We didn't go inside the chapel but the chapel weddings get brilliant reviews on Trip Advisor (they also do outdoorsy weddings and have run-through weddings during the marathon! :) ). Pastor Jamie Firzlaff is great and she made it seem as though our wedding was genuinely special to her. Our limo driver and the chapel staff were all very friendly and professional too

    Congratulations Duchy - we got married at the Little Church of the West (opposite Mandalay Bay) two years ago. It was lovely because it is in it's own little patch, quite vintage-inspired inside but also the communications between myself and the team there was fast and accurate throughout. I would thoroughly recommend it. We had some photos done outside it and you literally could have been anywhere, surrounded by trees and a lawn (also the LV sign is only over the road for a few cheesy photo ops!)

    Good luck x

    Can anyone recommend somewhere nice to eat for just the two of us after our wedding.
    Partner is a Vegetarian so something that can accommodate her. Something a bit special for after the wedding and open to all type of cuisine. And budget is no option.

    Morning all,

    Anyone booked a car with Alamo recently or in the past year even ???
    I prepaid with Alamo.co.uk (including fuel)
    Completed the Savetime option so my driver license stuff is linked to my booking.....
    Just wondering if its worth trying to use the kiosk machine, and then pick a car, or worth going to the check-in desk ?? (hopefully still pick my car!)
    On that note, anyone know/seen what type of convertables they got ?

    What you are asking is like "how long is a piece of string"
    So many options if price is not important, but in true moneysaving style my vote goes to Mon Ami Gabi at Paris. You can sit on the veranda and have really nice food and service, all for a fraction of the cost of some high end places. And you can't beat the setting.
    We used to walk past there years ago and thing "wow, I bet that place is expensive" because it looks it and the position is out of this world. Then one day we just had a look at the menu, half roast chicken $19!!! We were in there as fast as we could go, now every trip we eat there at least twice.
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    I don't think the kiosk machine excepts voucher numbers from U.K. bookings, then I guess it would just pick a car for you anyway?
    Usually they stock Sebrings.
    Join the Alamo insiders club and you can go straight down/up to the parking garage

    joined the alamo insiders this morning and entered all my details....
    looks like i have the option to 'checkin online' ?!

    Either way, i like the sound of skipping the main desks (same with my Dollar Express card)....
