years. I also have to remember

Imagine the cheapest wedding you'd like. You have to pay the $55.00 fee for the marriage license and you have to pay someone to perform the service. Then there's the witness who must be present at the ceremony. And you have to perform the service somewhere, although it doesn't have to be lavish. There are many places in and around Las Vegas that will harrahs las vegas perform the service and provide the witness for as little as $40.00. And they'll even throw in a CD in the background featuring traditional wedding music.You get there on your own, present your paid license and in a few short moments you'll be in front of a person licensed to perform wedding services in Las Vegas that are recognized las vegas suites around the world. Not exactly the wedding of your dreams but for $40.00 and the price of the license what did you expect. Go for another $60.00 and they'll throw in a limousine ride back to your hotel, a few photos taken with a disposable film camera that you'll get developed on your own, a bouquet of flowers and a boutonnière for the groom.

But with all the choices for Las Vegas outdoor weddings, you can get confused. How can you plan your Las Vegas wedding so that you get everything you want? Well, you have three choices: you can hire a travel agent who specializes in Las Vegas outdoor weddings, or you can purchase a package yourself online, or you can plan everything yourself when you get there in order to have true control over every detail.

The California Hotel seems like it could be renamed the Hawaiian Hotel, as they specialize in Pacific Island specialties. For example, this is one of the few places to find Spam on a menu. And their best lunch is in a place called Aloha Specialties. For cheap drinks The California offers Heineken and Corona for $2 in all of their casino bars, 24 hours a day. Located at Ogden and Main Street, it is one block north of Fremont St, and behind the Las Vegas Club. The California Hotel is also connected to Main Street Station by an over-the-street walkway.

Tips to eat a lot, well and for a good las vegas holidays price! If you go to Las Vegas and enjoy food you have three options:1 - Eat at the many restaurants there, on or off Strip. We avoid this option because when we go to Vegas we want to experience something truly different from what we experience at home. There are many restaurants everywhere but we always favour variety and of course we always want to eat well at a good price.
2 - Eat at buffets. This is our favourite option, because we love variety, freshness and a good deal anywhere we can find it. We want to try dishes we may not eat everyday at home and we also want to enjoy our regular favourites amongst some healthy options too! We think that the prices of Las Vegas buffets are, with the exception of dinner, more than reasonable for what you can enjoy. If you follow our tips you will eat well and at reasonable prices.
- There are several top-quality buffets in Vegas. Amongst them we recommend the buffet at the Bellagio, the one at the Mandalay Bay, the las vegas buffets buffet at the Mirage, the buffet at the Wynn (but this one's pricey!), the buffet at Planet Hollywood, the buffet at the Paris, the buffet at the Rio and, if you love Sushi, the Sushi buffet at Planet Hollywood (more on these buffets further on). These are top buffets so if you are on a budget make sure you show up between breakfast and lunch so you will enjoy a great lunch at breakfast prices (so go there 15 minutes before breakfast ends.)

Garden CourtBuffet
Located at Main Street Station, this international buffet is likely the best choice in the downtown area. The selection of Asian dishes is respectable here. Garden Court Buffet only charges $10.99 on most nights, and a Buy1 Get 1 coupon is usually available online. Their Friday Seafood Buffet runs $5 more, on Thursday they have a Filet Mignon & Scampi Buffet for only $3 more, and a T-Bone Buffet on Tuesday for $3 more. Dinner starts at 4 p.m. and lasts until 10 p.m. This has been one of my favorite places to eat downtown, for years. I also have to remember to save room for the deserts here. (Just one block north of the Fremont Street Experience on Main Street, and connected to the California Hotel by an over-the-street walkway.)
Le Village Buffet
I'm a sucker for French cuisine, and this buffet is probably my very favorite, anywhere in town. At Paris, Le Village Buffet only serves food from the different regions of France; it is not a world buffet. If the $24.99 price is too steep, you might consider going in for late lunch, which is served until 3:30 p.m. By arriving around 3 p.m. and casually enjoying a two hour meal with someone special, you will just be finishing around 5 p.m., and you will only have paid $17.99 a piece for a fabulous meal that would run north of $49 in any other city. Le Village Buffet serves the same selections for lunch as they do for dinner, except for the choices in shellfish, and they don't close down between Lunch and Dinner. Be sure to find the made-to-order crapes for desert! The line at Le Village is always long, so plan for that too. (On The Strip across from the Bellagio, near Flamingo Road.)

It really doesn't get any cheaper than that and you'll have more than just your memory of the event to take home and share with friends and family. Getting married on the cheap in any other city but Las Vegas would be, well, tacky. But cheap Las Vegas weddings have been turned into an art form, unequaled in any other city in the world. Anybody can spend a lot of money, but doing a fun wedding and reception on the cheap shows real talent!

- Planet Hollywood unfortunately does not offer this option so just go for lunch. Also, always ask for coupons at check in or when you book your stay. Alternatively, check the local newspaper (they offer coupons almost everyday), the flyers inside the cabs and always ask for free buffet coupons at check in and at the Players' Club. We haven't paid full price in years and we go to Vegas 4 times a year!
