The Little Vegas Chapel — Attraction in Las Vegas

I’m certain that at least half of the out-of-state marriages occurring in Las Vegas start the exact same- “you know what would be even MORE fun… right now?”/“Well we COULD just go get hitched… right now”- way.

And when it comes to “right now”, Vegas stays ready. The County Clerk is open until midnight to register your application, and they are happy to take cash, card, check, Apple Pay, Bitcoin, gold bullion, livestock, or your little sister who borrowed your shirt that one time and it came back covered in bacon grease.

The City handles the logistics flawlessly, but everyone knows that the true magic of a mythical “Vegas wedding” is found in the collision of luck, fate, and timing that lead you to the Chapel. Being married by Elvis is still a very popular request off the Strip, but our request was a little more… dark camp and understandably hard to accommodate last minute.

I can hear you ask: what could be darker and campier than being married by Elvis?

The answer is: being married by Dracula.

Of course.

Dracula marrying us was definitely in strong consideration over the course of our 20 years, but it had faded as of late; we had not planned for a wedding on this trip. But there was this Dracula themed slot machine at the airport, and we started joking about it…

It was JUST a joke- moving forward meant being without our families to witness. That was a hard call to make, and kind of an uncrossable threshold only a boon from the Dark Lord sent across an ocean of time to Bless us could shatter.

As if to prove to ourselves it was a joke, we made a few phone calls… and we thought that this very last-minute themed wedding was turning out to be no-go. But when we contact the outstanding folks at Little Vegas Chapel, they confidently said, “no sweat” like last minute requests for themed weddings happen to them every other hour of the day!

I was a bit in shock that it could be so easy, but they are genuinely masterful at customizing your wedding details. They’re VERY engaging and ask lots of questions- it should be harder than this to speak with strangers. So the staff had won us over, but arriving at the facilities only strengthened that certainty. I don’t know if other folks experience the same “this is exactly where I should be” feeling when they get to their Chapel, but we absolutely did.

Some of it was the pink Cadillac out front, and another good bit of it was because the facilities were immaculate. Clean, open, organized- the attention paid to the quality of detail inside is undeniable. Even the front desks are low- they paid special attention so no one would ever feel claustrophobic.

Then we met our photographer, and he’s just AMAZING!!!! If the experience with the staff over the phone drew us in, our photographer – also our witness- approached us with confidence, boatloads of humor and made the experience feel comfortable and joyful. I’m not photogenic, so it’s hard for me to feel comfortable with a pose- but he put me at ease with super clear and encouraging instructions. We had FUN- me having fun taking a picture?! I was in Heaven!!

Then the true star of the show himself arrived- Count Dracula!!!

Our officiant was just the BEST person for the job- the best camp, the warmest reception as he introduced himself, and the most ridiculous jokes peppered throughout the ceremony (which we wanted).

This is our first (and in this economy- our ONLY) time, so it was important that they filled it with laughter, happy tears, and warm emotional support from the time we stepped in until the time we left.

The folks at Little Vegas Chapel brought to verdant life a whisp of an idea of a joke that had been brewing between my husband and I for 20 years as if they had been in on it from the start. I am grateful, I am ecstatic, and I will treasure these memories for the...

Disappointing Experience with So Much Untapped Potential - and a used car salesman reason for the 5* reviews you see…

Let me start by saying: getting married should feel joyful, celebratory, and memorable in all the right ways—let me share how frustrating and underwhelming this experience was. And also understanding a Vegas chapel will never be extravagant - but it can be a happy and decent experience!

Our wedding day transportation started with a limo that felt more like a meat locker, the AC blasting so hard it was uncomfortable. When we politely asked the driver to turn it off, he merely turned it down. We also requested some music instead of the talk radio he had playing, and after a sigh, he begrudgingly switched it to a staticky country station. Not exactly the romantic or festive ride we were hoping for.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by… no one, really. The front desk experience was awkward, quiet, and entirely unwelcoming. I tried to lighten the mood by joking about our less-than-stellar limo ride and even suggested they offer a “fun and celebratory playlist” to make the drive better for future couples. My comment was met with silence.

Then came the tipping. We were informed we had to tip—minimums included—for the driver, photographer, and Elvis (the website states the Elvis tip, but not the other 2). We’re always happy to tip, but after the limo debacle, we left $20 for the driver instead of the demanded $40 minimum. The $100 for Elvis and $30 for the photographer? No problem—they were both fantastic and worth every penny. But as we began taking photos, the receptionist loudly confronted us in front of the photographer (who was a foot away) and asked if she should deduct the driver’s extra $20 from the photographers tip. Absolutely inappropriate. We ended up giving the additional $20, just to avoid further embarrassment.

To be fair, Elvis was the highlight of our experience—warm, energetic, and everything you’d hope for from a Vegas wedding. The photographer was also lovely, doing his best with the limited backdrop options available.

Post-ceremony, we were told our driver was running late—with no ETA and, again, no fun music, no congratulations, and no effort to make the moment feel special. We awkwardly stood in the lobby, surrounded by the staff chatting among themselves like we were in a waiting room at a car dealership. After nearly 40 minutes, the driver finally appeared. No apology, no explanation—just another silent, freezing, talk-radio-filled ride back to the hotel.

What makes this even more frustrating is how easy it would be to make this experience better. A little hospitality, some curated music, clear communication, and warm staff would go a long way. But instead of fixing the issues, they rely on a pushy sales tactic: if you leave a 5-star review within 24 hours, they’ll extend your photo package promo access. It’s manipulative—especially when people are caught up in the emotion and excitement of just getting married and in Vegas continuing their celebrations and vacation.

We won’t be leaving a glowing review. In fact, this is the honest one we wish we had read before booking.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for a place that treats your wedding like the once-in-a-lifetime celebration it should be, save yourself the disappointment and go...
