Las Vegas hotel suite to hold a 50-person wedding ceremony and reception? Thinking of Palms and MGM Grand...?

Need help with personal reviews/recommendations of a hotel suite, preferably with a view of the strip, to hold 40 to 50 people for a ceremony and a reception. I am thinking of hiring a private bartender service and we will provide the alcohol, and hire a caterer from the area if the hotel doesn't have great catering services.Las Vegas hotel suite to hold a 50-person wedding ceremony and reception?

Glad I logged on and saw your question...Hotel suite option...?



Qualifying points: Yes, there are Very Large suites that can be used for such an event. They run in the few/several square feet range. They usually have bars (at least one) already in place that can be used for drink services, etc. Your greater concern or issue may regarding "budget"...you haven't clarified that yet. These suites, the ones that can accomodate a ceremoney AND reception, usually range from $2,000++ (taxes, etc) up to $10,000 per night, depending on which property, night of the week/weekend, etc. Most/many properties "require" you to use their in-house food %26amp; beverage facilities (Room Service/Banquet departments) which have prices that are just "silly" for an 'in-house' service, depending on the property, the food is 'okay' or good...never found one that's "great". With some properties, we can get around ththe whole in-house catering. In those cases, as you know, you have to pay an outside caterer to bring in food and equipment of their own...of course those costs depend upon the type of food and quantity. (I have preferred private caterers and local restaurants that also cater parties for these types of events.) Additionally, I have "professional" bartenders (some of which work at the properties you've mentioned) for their 'regular job' and bartend for us on the side...it's always good to have someone who knows what they are doing...handling your needs!



You can click on my profile, send me an email if you'd like more help, details, etc...If you already have a date and or a budget in mind...that would help. Once you contact me by email, I'll forward you the company ph# etc...I try to not promote my company too excessively on YA, but offer good, informed advice as answers and when 'appropriate'...refer to my company.



But hey...while I'm at it..."We can help with the complete 'event planning' package of services, pre-wedding dinner reservations/parties, limos, etc...as much or as little as you wish. If you can imagine it, and have a reasonable budget for it..we can find a way to make it happen!"



Note: There are Banquet rooms in the hotels you can "rent" and decorate...and there are local (ouside the hotels) spots with good options as well, and outside catering there is welcomed!



**For those who answer, and don't know better...conventions (such as the one I'm involved in) "regularly" host "in-suite" parties...in banquet rooms/meeting rooms inside the hotels...as well as in some of the larger suites (again, some range into the several sq ft) for much more than 40-50 people...It's a matter of budget, not availability. (Done this for a Living for years.)
Geez .. that is going to not only cost a bundle but be near impossible. You should start by hiring a wedding planner here in Vegas. You can find them listed in the phone book. You better have deep pockets.Las Vegas hotel suite to hold a 50-person wedding ceremony and reception? Thinking of Palms and MGM Grand...?
What you need is a convention room and not a hotel suite. Call the hotels directly and get quotes.
No hotel in the city will allow a party like this in one of their suites. 40-50 is just too many people, and NO hotel will allow you to bring your own food, alcohol and staff. You have to use their catering or nothing.
May work at the American Legion or Elks lodge, but your plan will never happen on the resort corridor.

Live here.

Sorry.
