Unless you want a boring wedding that you could have anywhere else, go with the Stratosphere!!!

I visited all of those chapels last summer before my August 2 wedding. Rainbow Gardens was definitely the nicest of the four, but there is nothing Vegas-y about it, and you would think you're in any other city in America at a reception hall. Whatever you do, don't go to Victorias. The people were very friendly, but their locations are terrible. The one chapel is located inside a strip mall next to business offices and a convenience store! Your guests would never find it, there's hardly any parking, and it's tiny!

Alexis Park is a hotel off-strip, and I believe the Wedding Bells chapel is set on their grounds. I never actually saw where the wedding would be, because I could never get a hold of a representative from their facilities. I do not believe that they have a centralized "wedding office," so you'd have to do a lot of the planning yourself.

The Stratosphere was so wonderful. If you know Vegas at all, you know that the Stratosphere isn't necessarily one of the fanciest hotels on the Strip (compared to the Wynn, Bellagio, etc.). But you get more bang for your buck, and the staff is wonderful. I sent them a picture of the exact bouquet and cake I wanted, not only did they give me a cheap upgrade from their package prices, but they executed both things better than I could have imagined. The chapel is located on the 103rd floor overlooking the Las Vegas Valley, we picked a sunset time for our ceremony, so the view was absolutely stunning.

The staff took care of everything for us. We got to choose our own ceremony and reception music, the minister (Pastor Pete) was fantastic, the butler got us extra champagne when we ran out. Best of all, it was on the Strip, half the price of a package at Wynn or Bellagio, with twice as much service. Your guests will have no problems finding it, unlike the other chapels. For after your ceremony, all of your guests will receive free passes to the Romance Lounge on the 107th floor (has a wonderful jazz band on the weekends), AND Poly Esther's dance club.
