Ceremony options and logistics

Ask the wedding planner about seasonal constraints: the main outdoor waterfall pool and some outdoor areas operate seasonally, and Las Vegas weather varies widely by month. The resort enforces property-wide policies such as a minimum check-in age of 18 and a mandatory daily resort fee covering items like in-room Wi‑Fi and fitness access; confirm any extra event fees with the planner.

Planning tips, permits and day-of coordination

Contact the resort’s wedding sales team early to discuss available dates, guest counts, venue holds and catering packages. Many of the larger ballrooms can be subdivided, so give your planner a clear guest estimate to help identify the right footprint and pricing.

Check seasonal logistics: outdoor sites and the main waterfall pool are seasonal, and Las Vegas weather varies by month. Confirm delivery, vendor load-in windows, audio-visual needs, and any venue-specific rules such as noise curfews or preferred vendor lists with the wedding coordinator well before the event date.

• Confirm with the planner whether your preferred vendors are allowed or if the resort has a preferred vendor list
• Ask about ceremony rehearsal times and whether those fit within the event schedule or require additional fees
• Verify the resort fee and any event-related charges such as security, setup/breakdown, or additional room-block requirements
