The Venetian, Las Vegas
Posted on May 7, 2010 by Jeni Larson in Featured, Las Vegas
The Grand Venetian and Palazzo Hotel- possibly the most impressive hotel I’ve seen in Las Vegas. That’s saying a lot, when you consider the impressive structures lining the Las Vegas Strip.
My overall impression and recommendations: Shop here, enjoy the charming gondola rides, marvel at the talented opera singers amidst the Canal Shop Square… then stay elsewhere. I checked out of the hotel nearly a week ago and I’m still spending a few hours a day trying to get out of $5400+ in duplicate charges for my $1600 hotel bill. No, I’m not joking. My billing was not only screwed up multiple times, but Rudy in their billing department has little concern for the matter. Honestly, I’m not bitter. It’s been so ridiculous, I’ve resorted to actually laughing about it! In the meantime, I’m thankful for Chase Bank, and their amazing ability to match the numbers on hotel statements with bank charges, which the Venetian can’t seem to do.

Before getting married in Mexico, you will need to know the general requirements outlined by Puerto Vallarta’s Civil Registry. While the requirements are minimal, it is wise to plan ahead and allow yourself plenty of time to gather the necessary documents. You may choose a legal ceremony that requires blood tests and legal paperwork to be performed within Mexico, or a symbolic or religious ceremony with a legal ceremony and paperwork completed in your home country.
Most resorts offer an onsite wedding coordinator to simplify either process, and a number of experienced wedding planners can be found online and are happy to guide you through the process. Either way, a wedding planner is usually an ideal approach- the bride and groom can relax while the coordinator handles all the details from catering to music.
