Utilize the Tourism Office in Las Vegas

Because of the city and state's dependency on tourism dollars, Las Vegas has one of the most organized and helpful tourism office staffs in the country. One phone call with a layout of your budget and basic ideas, and they can help you plan your entire trip. Remember, these are local residents who know the city inside and out.

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.

To get in touch with the Tourism Office, try their toll free number at 1-877-847-4858 or check their website out at visitlasvegas.com.

Ask the Front Desk at Your Hotel

It doesn't matter if you're staying at the fancy Mandalay Bay or the budget Riviera, your hotel will have a concierge or guest services professional who can help you plan either a chapel or on-site wedding service that works within your budget - especially, if you're making a group booking that includes your guests too.

Much like the tourists' office, the hotel staff will know the city and can help you plan something that fits your price point.

Take a Stroll Down Las Vegas Boulevard
