Why not experience getting married one in one of the most breathtaking outdoor locations in all of Vegas? With its awesome rock formations, bright red mountains, and light desert hues, The Red Rock Canyon provides a scenic natural backdrop for your wedding. As the sun slithers across the sky, the landscape's colors vastly differ, making this a really charming place to exchange vows with your loved one.
This site was appointed as one of the state’s premiere national conservation spots and features various places for picturesque wedding photography. Located around 20 minutes away from the Las Vegas Strip, the Red Rock Canyon is one of the most famous wedding venues. Another advantage is that the ceremony locations and photoshoots are very accessible and it doesn’t need a long hike to get there.
Conclusion
Most couples want to have typical Vegas weddings with the trademark Elvis Ceremony. What’s a Vegas wedding without it, anyway? But there are some who’d rather skip that and experience a different wedding in the area. If you’re the latter, feel free to choose from these options and enjoy every moment.
