Outdoors

From undulating desert sand dunes to a starry night under a Joshua tree forest, outdoor venues in Las Vegas are stunning. Trade the barn for a real life gold mine, create your own movie reel from the famous rock formations in the Valley of Fire, or take a helicopter ride over the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip.

Wide Open Spaces

Under the Desert Sky & Stars

Getting married under the desert sky, day or night, is nothing short of spectacular. The Las Vegas desert offers some of the darkest skies and brightest stars in the United States. If you’re dreaming of a daytime ceremony, check out Lake Mead and Mount Charleston, or head to the heart of the city and use the sparkling lights of the Las Vegas skyline as your backdrop.
