1. Because an average of 350 days of sunshine and blue skies annually provides for plenty of beautiful outdoor weddings.

2. You can enjoy all the fun of Las Vegas and find faraway-tropical-paradise settings as you say "I do" at the "Primrose Courtyard" at Wynn Las Vegas, "Fountain Terrace" at The Four Seasons Las Vegas and, of course, The Mirage.

3. "Foodie" brides and grooms can indulge themselves and their guests at wedding-celebration parties or reception dinners at establishments such as Charlie Palmer's Aureole, with his "flying wine angels," Thomas Keller's Bouchon or Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico Steakhouse, to name just a few of hundreds of delicious options.

4. No place in the world but Las Vegas has anything like "Neon Boneyard,", part of the Neon Museum, Las Vegas, as backdrop to take totally cool engagement or bridal portraits. The exhibition houses more than 150 historic neon signs, including those of Caesars Palace, the Sahara, and the Stardust.

5. Couture Bride, a luxury bridal salon, has designer gowns to swoon over, and they will make you feel divine in their elegant, inviting salon; Bella Bridesmaid offers a fun, stylish experience that makes the dress shopping with your girls fun and a cinch, too.

6. When you want to party like a wedding rock star or diva, Pure Nightclub, Tao Nightclub or the over-the-top XS Nightclub at Encore, Las Vegas are some of the hottest clubs to party, party, party your singlehood status away. Many of the clubs have bachelor and bachelorette packages!

7. Head to downtown Las Vegas, a newly revitalized, hip, swingin' place to be, with a giant TV canopy at the Freemont Street Experience and vintage casinos to enjoy and explore. The Downtown Cocktail Room, Firefly Downtown @ The Plaza (for tapas) or Beauty Bar make for unique venues for get-togethers, rehearsal parties and cool pics!

8. Because Las Vegas ("the meadows" in Spanish) is also for nature enthusiasts and environmentalists, with sites to explore or even marry at, such as Mount Charleston, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire State Park and Springs Preserve, that embrace and preserve our desert beauty.

9. When you have to get away to relax; pre- or après-wedding, visit Qua Baths and Spa at Caesars Palace (with the Arctic Ice Room that features falling snow!) or Canyon Ranch Spa Club at Palazzo. Both are great for couples retreats, bridal-shower manicure parties or a private indulgence good for relaxing any bride or groom.

10. For the stylish, design-oriented, modern, technologically advanced, luxury, green, urban bride and groom, the newest and most impressive piece of real estate on the Las Vegas strip to stay, dine, party, explore, relax, be entertained at -- and marry -- is City Center. With fabulous properties such as the luxurious (and non-gaming) Mandarin Oriental and Aria (with casino and the new "Viva Elvis" Cirque du Soleil show), City Center is a marvel that only Las Vegas could create!
