The Ritz of Las Vegas Wedding Banquet Facility!!? Hi all, We're planning on getting married in Vegas next year, and like the pics from their website, can anyone give me some info on the place? The only info i seem to be able to find about the place is from their own website! Also, this is not the Ritz Carlton in Las Vegas, this place deals specifically with weddings and parties. Thanks a million guys for any info ye can give me

Why am I having such a hard time dealing with the fact we might marry in a Las Vegas wedding chapel instead of I know that God is everywhere, but my fiance picked a Las Vegas wedding chapel, and has told all of his family and friends that we will marry there, and I would prefer to marry in a church. Do other Christians have the same opinion that weddings should be performed in a house of worship?

Is there a Dollar Store or Deals in Las Vegas? I want to go there for wedding supplies instead of hauling stuff out there beforehand-any local Vegas people out there that can help?

Las Vegas Wedding? I have a million questions--just answer what you know best! I've already researched the www.vegas.com website. I'd like some suggestions from folks who have already wed there... 9 people in wedding party. We'd like some serious ceremony cheese, but probably not Elvis, and we'd like it to be as "upscale" as ~$1000 bucks (just 4 ceremony) will carry us. What's the deal between getting the ceremony done in a chapel vs at some nice site in or on hotel grounds? Do most hotels have places on-site for ceremonies? Which hotels are the most reasonably priced, but nicest & with the best amenities? Is it a good idea to arrange everything (from rooms to the ceremony and reception) directly through one of the main hotels? Or through the Vegas wedding groups? Are some of them better than others at the wedding thing? Is there a bakery other than Freeds that will do small, reasonably priced wedding cakes? Who has best photographers & where are best flowers? Thanks everyone! All great suggestions & great websites. I've narrowed places down to Mandalay Bay, Luxor, & Orleans--just can't decide is I want a free-standing wedding or to do it at whichever hotel I settle on. Anyone know which hotels have suites with a separate bedroom?

How do I convince my fiancee to get married in Las Vegas? I really want to get married in Vegas. I helped my sister plan a big wedding, and I don't want to do that again. I've never really dreamed of the big church wedding. I really just want the day to be about him and me, and not have to deal with all the fluff.

anyone know where to find a map of the Las vegas strip so I can find where the hotels are? And can anyone advise which hotels do the best deals for me and wife for 6 nghts 10th Wedding anniversary ???

Las Vegas florist? Getting married outside of Las Vegas in October. I need a florist that I can deal with from afar seeing as I cant get there until the wedding. ANYONE with a referral?

Destination Wedding duties?? So my fiancee and I are having a destination wedding in Las Vegas in June. I've been reading about destination weddings and how the bride & groom sometimes block out rooms in hotels for their guests, arrange transportation, make out maps and many other little things. Is it expected that you do room blocks at a hotel for a destination wedding? Majority of our guests that we invited all have time share in Las Vegas and so I didn't see the point in blocking out rooms or why we would even have to. Some of our guests have asked where we were stying and I've done searching for them to help them find the best deal on a room in the area they want. All of them have been to Vegas so I'm not sure maps and all that are necessary. Though I will be printing maps to the ceremony and reception sites. Is there anything anyone recommends be done for a destination wedding? If you were attending would there be anything that would help you out? actually they are all THAT familiar with Las Vegas. Like I said the maps I will be making are for directions to the ceremony and the reception. his side goes a few times a year and my side use to live out there so that is why were all pretty familiar with the layout. We all only live 4 hours away =-) blocking out rooms requires a contract and we aren't about to do that. if they don't book all the rooms we end up holding the bag and we can not afford that in anyway shape or form, and besides why should we?

Harrah's Las Vegas...? My fiance and I were offered a week at Harrah's LV for our honeymoon and wedding night. I am a little weary of the "carnival" theme. I'd like to have the nicest hotel we can get, but of course money is always a factor. Should we take this hotel, or look for a different one? Anyone ever stay there or know someone who has? Anyone know of a nice hotel on the strip that is a good deal? Thank you for your input!

why should these people have a problem with the truth? I have two friends. She lives in Wyoming, he lives in Washington (where i live) I invited them to Las Vegas for my wedding and they "hooked up". I know that there are serious issues (deal breakers) between them and felt like I should be honest with each of them about eachother. I told him that she was a job-jumping, bi-polar, slut ( she decided to sleep with him before they even met or spoke). Who definately has issues. I told her that he's a OCD (obssessive compulsive disorder), who victimizes women and only views them for sex( he wanted to know if she'd move to WA immediately after sleeping with him). She was previously engaged twice. He doesn't believe in marraige or living together. Now, they've shut me out of their lives - so that their new found long distance relationship an be given a chance to "work". I appologised to each of them for telling the other their "faults" - but they're still shuting me out. How can I get my individual friends back?

How can I convince my Fiance we're ready for a baby? Ok. So here's the deal. I'm 18 years old and my fiance is 22 years old. We both make enough money for a lil addition to our colliding families. We're having a small wedding in Las Vegas in August 2007 since he doesn't like big get togethers and doesnt want to dance. I agreed cause it saves us money since I do want a baby really bad. Family,friends,and also he [once] agreed that i was ready to be a mom and would be a great one. I helped my dad raise my two very young siblings.I see girls my age who dont want kids or arent ready having babies..and I feel its unfair to me. I want that and I feel am ready more than anything else. How can I convince my fiance or get over my urge??? HELP!! PLease. I cant look or read anythin about children without wanting to be pregnant more than anything. he does want to be a father.. but he wants to wait another 3-4 yrs... We've been together for four years...And we always give each other what we want, we're the typical love birds.... but when it comes to wanting a baby its more complicated then wanting a big wedding but havin a smaller one cause its what he wants and it makes it easier on me. know what im sayin? so its not convincing to be a father... just to do it sometimes these next two years rather than 3-4 years from now. He knows my desire and how good i will be. He's really paranoid about not being able to give his children everything they want. And I'm happy with giving my children evrything they need physically and mentally to have a healthy life. I've studied child development and psychology.I know what it takes to be a parent cause I helped raised my brother and sister, my sister the youngest even called me mom untill she was old enough to understand i wasnt mom, i was sissy. Thank you. Please keep answering. I do need ideas on how to support his idea. More than likely I need to understand his reasoning more than I need to "talk him into agreeing with me".

What to do about the guest list? My fiancee & I decided to have our wedding in Las Vegas in June. Kinda cutting it close but my dad & step-mom offered to pay for the ceremony & my dress so we don't mind bumping it up a few months. All our immediate family mom's, dad's, siblings already said they'd be able to make it. So they chapel we're having the ceremony in only holds up to 70 people. Our list including us stands at 68, of those 68 we assume (lol i know we shouldn't but oh well) that 9 won't be able to make it. His grandma had mentioned all her family in texas being able to make it. They aren't on our list an we only have room for 2 more people. Any advice on how to deal with this one? I'm usually pretty straight up but I can't be that way with grandma even I'm not that mean LOL. Should we just not worry about it & hope it isn't brought up? Or should we plan ahead so we know how to answer the questions that might come up as to why certain ppl aren't invited? the other reason we're not wanting more than 70 people is we are footing the bill for dinner and we don't want to pay for more than 70 people, we budgeted it out perfectly with 70 when the chapel told us that was what they could accomodate. Paula Christina I think you misunderstood Grandma is invited her relatives in Texas are not.

Help me with catering question, Please.? I found a reception hall in the Texas Station (well known casino in Las Vegas) that is willing to give us a wedding/reception package that includes everything (linens, plates ect) even a room for the night for the couple, for 4500.00. We wouldnt have to set up anything or cleanup. it even includes the minister fees. If we opt to bring our own food, they will reduce it by 900.00. It is for up to 150 people. Would you pay the additional 900.00 and have one less stress maker to worry about or would you save the 900.00 and have the family get together and work it out and save about 400.00. My fiance is willing to pay the money so we dont have to worry about it and he also said that it will leave room for those who didnt RSVP to still be able to join us if they show up. 2 questions Is this package a good deal to you all? or is it overpriced? Should I go with the caterers or hook it up like we do the family reunions? What would you do? Thanks Wow, Bellagio. I looked up for Bellagio and theirs only includes the wedding and thats like 3000.00 alone. The receptions are additional. ALOT additonal. Well, I am happy for you. Thats a beautiful casino. Youre so lucky!!

plz. help me to write the main idea of this article in the NY Times. in two pages.?

Vow renewal etiquette? We are planning a vow renewal for our ten year anniversary. We eloped in Las Vegas, no ceremony, no family. I have regretted it and I have never heard the end of it from my mom especially. I am the oldest so it was really hard for them to deal. Now here we are 10 years later and my parents have offered to help pay for the vow renewal ceremony because they didn't get to the first time around. They have ideas that are more for the traditional wedding rather a vow renewal. My dad wants to walk me down the aisle, is this okay? My grandmother wants me to get the white dress, is this okay? We are doing something small with 50 or less family and close friends.We were also thinking of doing the Unity Sand with our boys during the ceremony. How much is too much? People are telling me that since we didn't have it the first time around it's okay to go all out if we want. Your advice is appreciated. I don't want to do things that are really tacky for a vow renewal. I am not looking to re-enact a wedding. My husband and I have gone through some really tough times over the past 10 years and want to do it for us as a renewal of our vows to each other. And have our close family and friends be a part of it. My father would like to escort me down the aisle because he didn't get to before not as a symbol of giving me away but as an escort. As for the sand ceremony I want to include my boys because they are my stepsons who I have raised since they were 1.5 and 3 years old and were not able to be with us the night we got married due to custody arrangements at the time.

my employers aren't paying me? I am a nanny, and have not (yet?) signed a contract with my employers. I agreed to work 6 days a week for $250. Last week I worked Wed - Fri about 12 hours a day, then Sat for 8 1/2 hours, which was 2 1/2 hours longer than agreed. They gave me only $13 for the 2 1/2 hours, for a total of $180 for the week. My boss's mother is in town, and they went with her on vacation to Las Vegas, without informing me until the day before. Monday I went to work, and my boss told me they wouldn't need me for the next 3 days, and to go home. I thought I was to return tomorrow, but she just called and told me not to come back till Monday. My question is, if my employer doesn't pay me for this week, is she breaking a deal? Do I have reason to confront them about this? Is this something that they'll keep doing if I let them? Should I be payed for this week? We agreed that I would be payed $250/week for whatever they need. Does this qualify as 'whatever they need'? Please give any advise you have. Thanks the deal is, I sleep and eat there, and work from 8:00 on Monday till 2:00 on Saturday. I get up at night with the baby, and clean the house during the day. When I said I was 2 1/2 hours late getting off, I mean they let me go at 4:30. But if we agree on 6 days of work for $250, and they're the ones that tell me not to work, didn't they break the deal? I'm not working, but that's not my fault, right??
