ELVIS VOW RENEWAL
There are many chapels in Las Vegas where you can renew your wedding vows –or say I DO for the first time. Why not do it with the King of Rock and Roll! Doesn’t get any more romantic than looking into the eyes of your lover and declaring your Burning Love until death do you part.
Our vow renewal was way back in 2004 for our 10th anniversary. Elvis Presley serenaded us and gyrated as we said our vows. He finished with an appropriate rendition of Viva Las Vegas.
This was all done at the Graceland Wedding Chapel, the oldest wedding chapel in Las Vegas. It lays claim to being the original chapel with Elvis officiating the ceremony. No, we aren’t THAT old! That was way back in 1977.
Nowadays the Graceland Wedding Chapel makes state-of-the-art video recordings, but ours was made on a VHS, way back in the day, that I converted to digital in order to share the Elvis melodies during our ceremony.

Venetian Gondola Ride
Take a ride in a gondola through the Venetian canals at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. If you have not been to Venice, this is the perfect substitute.

The gondolas have been around for more than twenty years and are still one of the most popular and romantic things to do in Las Vegas.
The authentic gondolas go through the canals that wind through the vibrant streets of Venice in the Venetian Resort, passing cafes and shops and gliding under bridges and balconies. There is a route through the indoor or the outdoor Grand Canal.

Other things to do while you are at the Venetian Resort
Fountains Of Bellagio
The Fountains at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino are sure to romance the senses of you and your loved one. The Bellagio Fountains are a complex water show that is absolutely free in Las Vegas for anyone to enjoy.
The romance never gets old with different songs, and different choreography, but the same beauty. A must-see, stunning array of water, lights, music, and a show of pure creative imagination.
PRO TIP: They are fun to see during the day, but add to the Las Vegas romance and see them at night with the added bonus of choreographed lights. Find a good spot around the man-made Bellagio Lake. The fountains shoot up so high that even if you don’t make it into the front row, you will still have a good view.
