Most times when you think about Las Vegas, the Elvis wedding chapel and drive-thru weddings come to mind. But your Vegas wedding doesn't have to be a quickie! In fact, there are dozens of well-planned options for creative and unique weddings that can fulfill your sweetest dreams or your wildest fantasies. With all of the themed casinos on the strip, it's a veritable hotbed of ideas for a destination wedding. And, it saves you money, too! There's no need to fly all over the world for the perfect setting, when it's right there in Nevada. Here are some unique wedding themes that will make it worth the trip.

Pirate's Paradise:

Whether your heart longs to recapture the innocent adventure of Peter Pan or the bodacious brawls of the Pirates of the Caribbean, “X” marks the spot at Treasure Island. You and your first mate can swashbuckle your way into matrimony with a pirate-themed wedding. Stepping onto the set of Treasure Island's outdoor production, you can choose from six different wedding packages that can include a ship-side ceremony in Sirens’ Cove with the ship’s captain as the officiant and a pirate who swings down from the crow’s nest to deliver the wedding rings—now that's a grand entrance for the ring bearer!

French Kiss:

Ah, Paris—probably considered the most romantic city in the world. Full of beautiful architecture, history, and opulent mystique, romance fills the air and draws couples with its charm. Getting married at the Eiffel Tower would be any bride's dream. But you don't have to travel there to do it. Just make a pit stop in Paris Las Vegas. Paris Las Vegas wedding package options range from the casual to the quaint, but the most memorable would be their wedding on the Eiffel Tower Observation Deck. As though you were instantly transported to France, getting married inside the “Eiffel Tower” is an extremely intimate and unique experience that (unfortunately) can only be shared with up to 12 guests.

Vegas Weddings Rock

For the adventurous nature lover, this place rocks! A quick jaunt up to Red Rock (located just 20 miles from Las Vegas) takes you to a place that seems far away from the bright lights, but it still offers a commanding performance. Surrounded by a brilliant red splash of sandstone, Red Rock Canyon is the remains of an ancient sea that has long since evaporated. Ranging in color from deep red to white, the view is breathtaking and makes a lovely landscape for your wedding that's sure to be full of natural beauty.  And, the best part is that it's almost 300 miles closer to Vegas than the Grand Canyon.

Now That's Italian!

A popular tourist destination, especially for honeymooners, Italy boasts great food, romantic gondolas, and fabulous scenery. It's definitely a beautiful place for a wedding, but so is The Venetian in Las Vegas. Several romantic rendezvous await Italian-inspired couples, but of note are two unique wedding venues: Pont al di Piazza, which takes place over a bridge that is reminiscent of Venice, Italy, and the Ceremonia Sul’ Aqua or Ceremony on Water, which takes place aboard an authentic Italian gondola. Being serenaded by your gondolier after professing your undying love, it's Italy without the passport.

No matter which Vegas wedding theme you choose, the possibilities are endless and there'll be plenty of excitement to go around. With so many great options for the bride and groom, all of your guests will want to attend. But if they can't, be sure to have some Las Vegas wedding favors on hand so that everyone can bring a bit of experience, as well as the memories, home with them. Challenging the city's slogan, what happens in Vegas doesn't always have to stay in Vegas!
