USA: Wake up to Vegas

Whether it's a romantic weekend, a family vacation or outdoor adventures, Sin City has it all.

Who says Las Vegas is only good for drinking and gambling? Whether it's a romantic weekend, a family vacation or outdoor adventures, Sin City has it all.

Tying the knot

Voted Best Wedding Chapel by the Las Vegas Review Journal, Chapel of the Flowers will have you pronounced husband and wife for anywhere between US$195 (NZ$264) to US$20,000. With both indoor and outdoor settings, the location has its own photo lab, florist and on-call Elvis impersonators. And if you get last-minute guilt for not inviting your mum, she can tune in via Skype.

Not your style? For fancier nuptials, head to The Chapel at Mandalay Bay, where you can say your vows against a beach backdrop.

Or: Say your I do's while belted into New York-New York's 108 km/hr rollercoaster.

Honeymoons and anniversaries

If opening your eyes to the luxurious surrounds of Bellagio's arc-shaped Cypress Suite isn't romantic enough, glance down as the famous fountain show plays through floor-to-ceiling windows at the foot of your bed. Soak up the sun poolside before heading to Spa Bellagio for a couple's massage.

Later, join the ranks of Sandra Bullock and Leonardo DiCaprio with a dusk helicopter flight over the Strip with Maverick Tours, complete with pre-flight bubbly, then enjoy French and Spanish-inspired fare at Bellagio's Picasso restaurant.

Not your style? Pretend you're in romantic Venice by checking into The Venetian, where gondola rides for two can be followed by wine and wood-fired pizza on the deck of Lavo.
