Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival, ceremony, photos, and an intimate post‑ceremony celebration on the Strip.
Arrive & Meet at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign — pre‑ceremony check & styling
Meet your officiant and photographer. Final outfit touchups, prop placement, and a quick walk‑through of the ceremony spot so lighting and camera angles are set before the vows.
Tips from local experts:
- Aim to arrive 30–40 minutes before the ceremony (this slot is 17:30–18:00) so your photographer can scout the best angle—April spring light is soft and ideal.
- Parking: there's a small parking lot directly across from the sign (south side of the sign) — if it’s full, ask your photographer/officiant for the recommended temporary pull‑over spot; avoid blocking traffic.
- Privacy note for couples: choose the left side walkway closer to the sign post for more intimate photos and to keep the Strip in the background; the right side is busier and better for crowd shots.
Movie‑Themed Vow Ceremony at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign
Private 45‑minute themed ceremony (choose Wizard, Space Sci‑Fi, Dude, or Vegas Hangover). Includes officiant, vows, keepsake certificate, souvenir packet, first dance opportunity, and epic photos at golden hour.
Tips from local experts:
- Golden hour perfection: in April sunset often falls around 19:00–19:20 — booking around 18:00 ensures warm, flattering backlight for your first dance and portraits.
- Bring comfortable shoes for quick walking between photo angles; if you want full dress shoes off for some candid shots, pack flats to swap in between poses.
- Keep officiant tipping in mind (customary USD 60) and stash a small envelope with cash — organizers recommend this but it’s not required.
Post‑Ceremony Photos & Portrait Session at the Sign
Extended 30‑minute photo time to capture a range of shots (closeups, full‑length with the sign, fun themed props). Photographer will use nearby vantage points to maximize the Strip skyline and neon glow as light changes.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your photographer to do one or two brisk walk‑and‑talk shots to create natural, candid moments with motion—these look great in draft album pages.
- If you’d like night shots with neon, keep one outfit accessory that contrasts (e.g., a bold scarf or boutonnière) so you pop against the sign after sunset.
- Accessibility: the sign area is step‑free and stroller/wheelchair accessible; if family members with mobility needs join, ask the photographer to stage them closer to the accessible walkways.
Transfer: Drive from the Vegas Sign to The Cosmopolitan (The Chandelier Bar)
Short private transfer (we recommend a taxi or rideshare) from the sign back up the Strip to The Cosmopolitan for cocktails and a relaxed toast.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow 20–30 minutes for travel and possible light Strip traffic—typical drive time is 15–25 minutes depending on lights.
- Ask your driver to drop you at the casino Porte‑Cochère of The Cosmopolitan for the quickest access to The Chandelier and elevators.
- If you prefer privacy, reserve a rideshare in advance and mark it as small luggage/party; drivers are used to quick drop‑offs on the Strip in evenings.
Pre‑dinner Cocktails at The Chandelier (Cosmopolitan) — toast to your vows
Enjoy intimate cocktails inside the multi‑story crystal Chandelier — a moody, romantic spot perfect for private toasts and playful photos.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a quieter alcove near the central chandelier so you can toast privately — staff at The Chandelier often accommodate couples celebrating special occasions.
- Try a Champagne cocktail or the house specialty for a photo‑friendly, celebratory sip; ask the bartender for a smaller pour if you have dinner plans after.
- Timing tip: plan 35–45 minutes here—enough for a relaxed toast and a few photos without feeling rushed before dinner.
Short Transfer to Paris Las Vegas — settle for dinner
A brief transfer/walk across the Strip or short drive to Paris Las Vegas where your romantic dinner awaits at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant.
Tips from local experts:
- If walking, use the pedestrian bridge at Flamingo/Las Vegas Blvd for an easy, scenic crossing; allow 10–15 minutes for a leisurely walk and photo stops.
- If you’re tightly scheduled or wearing delicate shoes, take a quick rideshare for a 5–8 minute trip to the Paris porte‑cochère.
- Ask the host at Eiffel Tower Restaurant for a window table (if available) to enjoy the Strip lights — mention you just had a ceremony to increase chances of a special seating.
Romantic Dinner at Eiffel Tower Restaurant (Paris Las Vegas)
Classic, romantic French‑inspired dinner with elevated Strip views — perfect for a post‑ceremony celebration. Expect refined service, a curated wine list, and the option to request a special dessert presentation.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve in advance and request a window seat overlooking the Strip — golden‑hour to evening transition provides beautiful views for a celebratory dinner.
- Mention your ceremony when booking; the restaurant often offers small complimentary touches (a dessert message or Champagne upgrade) for special occasions.
- Menu note for couples: order dishes to share (starter + main + dessert) to keep the evening intimate and leisurely; the wine list pairs well with steak and seafood options.
After‑Dinner Stroll or Return to Hotel — slow finish to your night
Optional relaxed walk along the Strip for a few night photos, or take a short rideshare back to your hotel to unwind after the celebrations.
Tips from local experts:
- If you’re up for a short walk, head north on the Strip for quick night shots — the Bellagio fountains are a short stroll and ideal for a romantic encore photo.
- Rideshare pick‑up spots are best at casino porte‑cochères to avoid pedestrian congestion; tell your driver to meet at Paris Las Vegas porte‑cochère.
- Carry a small emergency kit (band‑aids, safety pins, stain wipes) — it can save time and keep the mood relaxed after a long dressy evening.
