#4 – Pahrump Valley Winery
55.9 miles from the strip.
You’d think wine wouldn’t be able to thrive in Nevada, considering its desert-like conditions. However, Pahrump Valley Winery proves that’s not the case. This incredible venue is beautifully filled with rows upon rows of grapes, making Nevada’s largest winery a reality.
A wedding here is something unique and special. The winery is quaint, even though it’s large in size. The restaurant onsite is rather small, so it doesn’t cater to the largest guest list, only allowing for gatherings of roughly 50 people. There’s so much to enjoy at this wonderful venue, including their delicious wines!

You can have up to 300 guests if you’re looking for a major wedding, but this works perfectly even for the couple looking to elope.

#7 – Mount Charleston
19.5 miles from the strip.
While most of Red Rock Canyon is the red sandstone and sparse vegetation, Mount Charleston is the outlier. It’s a lush mountainside with a spot at the bottom for weddings and elopements to take place. It’s a venue that boasts INSANE natural beauty and a charming little area overlooking the mountains.
More than half of the year, the mountain is covered in snow, which only adds to the beauty. This is overall a venue where you’ll be able to have a more low-key, intimate experience with your partner and guests as you celebrate your wedding.

Easily one of the COOLEST venues on offer at the Red Rock Canyon Park is the El Dorado Canyon Nelsons Ghost Town. This place is authentic, and out of all the places to get married in Las Vegas, this is one that will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The venue is stylish and offers a rustic charm of a bygone era.
The venue has their own decor like old road signs, old mining equipment, rusted-out cars, and some scattershot dilapidated buildings. Not to say you can’t add your own personal flare, but why would you when it’s already perfect! It’s a great place for an elopement and for photos! This should be a top consideration when thinking of places to get married in Las Vegas.

They’ve got numerous packages available that include dining, beverage, and cocktail selections.

#10 – Dry Lake Bed
50.2 miles from the strip.
There’s a strong chance you’ve seen this landscape before in a movie or music video. It’s an extremely popular location for filming and photoshoots, but even better for a wedding. This dried-out lake bed acts as a great location for a stunning wedding where you exist isolated and surrounded by mountains in the distance. In a sense, it’s a unique choice to have a wedding, but it’s an incredible blank canvas to make your elopement dreams come true.
It’s not all perfect, unfortunately. The lack of toilets is definitely its biggest downside, so it’s important to be aware of that right off the bat. Otherwise, this venue can be a great place for a small intimate wedding where you can have the reception in and around the general area.
Features of Dry Lake Bed
– 50 guest capacity
– Parking is available at the entrance

This 680-acre park means there are a lot of options for you to consider when looking for the best spot to get married.

Lake Las Vegas is a truly UNIQUE venue. It’s like a literal oasis in the sands with palm trees, grass, a large lake, and a beautiful setting for a wedding. You’ll be married in a peaceful setting that’s so uniquely Las Vegas in the best ways.
For the reception, you can enjoy exclusive use of the clubhouse and its private balcony.

#13 – Spring Preserve
50.2 miles from the strip.
This is one of my favorite venues. Why? Because it’s got so much to offer. Stunning trees and stone features make this just a gorgeous location for a wedding. You’ve got options for where you want the ceremony to take place, including a gazebo, an altar, and under the trees, among other choices.
The Spring Preserve is a 180-acre cultural institution that features a botanical garden, an interpretive trail system, and various cactus gardens. There are a lot of opportunities here to have a beautiful, intimate wedding. You are able to have about 20 guests or so, but any more than that and it starts to feel cramped.

– Parking is available at the entrance
– There is a $10 per vehicle entrance fee (Non-NV Vehicles: $15.00 per vehicle)
– Everything is handled by the couple and their wedding planner (the venue doesn’t take on any elopement responsibilities)
#14 – Desert Love Land and Chapel
50.2 miles from the strip.
This cute little venue isn’t far from the Red Rock Canyon. It’s a unique place to get married because it has that old western feeling, like a little house on the prairie – but instead of lush grass, think sand, and lots of it!
Beyond the little chapel, however, there is more to this venue. Views of the Nevada mountain ranges and so many other places in the general vicinity where you can get married. It’s a venue that has a lot to offer if you’re ready to look around and give it a chance.
Another benefit is that there’s a lot more room to play than in other park areas like Red Rock Canyon. We can actually do more extensive decor like large structures and arches!
Check out one of the amazing weddings we did at the Red Rock Canyon Overlook!
Features of Desert Love Land and Chapel

#15 – Red Rock Ash Springs
19.5 miles from the strip.
Almost like an oasis in the desert, the Red Rocks Ash Springs is a beautiful little spot for you to host a great wedding! Located in the Mojave Desert, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of this location, there’s so much potential for a charming, small, and intimate ceremony.
You’ll only be able to have about 15 guests, so this is truly an elopement spot for couples looking for something unique and special that isn’t going to be a large gathering. It’s a bit of a journey, so be prepared for some walking, but once you see those towering red sandstone peaks and Keystone Thrust fault, it will have been worth the walk.
Features of Red Rock Ash Springs
-15 guest capacity
– Parking is available at the entrance
– Everything is handled by the couple and their wedding planner (the venue doesn’t take on any elopement responsibilities)
– There is a $15 per vehicle entrance fee
#16 – Red Rock Canyon Red Springs Boardwalk
19.5 miles from the strip.
Another one of these great places to get married in Las Vegas is the Red Springs Boardwalk. It’s a beautiful spot that’s nestled amongst some trees with a magnificent view overlooking the canyon. The wooden boardwalk is what makes this venue, though, as it allows for a place to enjoy the ceremony and get some STUNNING photos.
You can enjoy the spot with a small group of family and friends, up to 50 people. It’s just the perfect spot to enjoy your special day, thanks to the serene nature of the surrounding area.
Features of Red Rock Canyon Red Springs Boardwalk
– 50 guest capacity
– Parking is available at the entrance
– Everything is handled by the couple and their wedding planner (the venue doesn’t take on any elopement responsibilities)

#17 – Red Rock Canyon Overlook
19.5 miles from the strip.
The final Red Rock Canyon location is the overlook because it’s one of the best ways to end off this stunning park in general. The overlook puts a majority of the park into perspective, and it’s a sight to behold. You’ll look back at the pictures and think it’s nothing more than a photoshopped background because it’s really something special.
While most might think getting married in the sand isn’t a romantic wedding idea, they clearly don’t know how AMAZING a desert wedding can truly be. Up to 50 guests, including you and your partner, can enjoy this location for your special day, and you’ll never regret it because it’s out of this world. With all these Red Rock Canyon locations, once you’re done with the wedding, you can head to the amazing Red Rock Casino and Resort for a night of celebrations!
