Viva Las Vegas! Many call it Sin City, but we call it home and for that reason we want to share 20 adventurous Las Vegas elopement ideas . No wedding chapel in sight here. We’re about to show you our Las Vegas.

So let’s get to it!

1. Take a party bus through Red Rock Canyon.

Stop to have a quick ceremony in front of the craziest looking rocks. Take the party bus to any of Red Rock Canyon’s group camping sites and have a personal chef create a dinner for you and your guests under the stars. Be as adventurous as you want to be for your Las Vegas elopement.

2. Rent a motorcycle at Harley.

You and your lover can ride through Lake Mead Recreation Area and admire the way your big body Harley hugs the curves. Take a quick hike to the edge of a cliff, exchange letters and vows. Have a picnic and admire the views of the cotton candy skies reflecting in pools surrounded by red, orange, and yellow striped cliffs. Las Vegas elopements aren’t just about the Strip.

3. Have an infused day.

4. Exchange vows in front of your favorite art mural in Downtown Las Vegas.

Then take a stroll to one of Las Vegas’s tattoo artist’s shops and mark your day in permanent ink. Head down to the cannabis lounge and enjoy an evening taking in the lights of the city. Hit Fremont Street and zipline down Slotzilla to the other side, Superman style. Just because I said adventurous elopement, doesn’t mean your adventure can’t be just about anywhere.

5. Tuck yourselves inside a hot air ballon and bring an officiant to make it official.

Celebrate your vows as you float above the Earth and pop some champagne. When you come back down, enjoy a meal at your hotel or Air BnB made especially for you and your guests.

6. Say your vows at a ghost town with old buildings, vehicles, and even a downed plane.

Then take your guests to the Colorado River to set up camp and BBQ some steaks and veggies. Bring a telescope and check out far away galaxies while you imbibe with your nearest and dearest. Hire a musician or a band to croon with around the camp fire.

7. Rent a Lambo and head out to Valley of Fire.

Test the Lambo’s road worthiness and bring your picnic basket to enjoy a day exploring the Marslike landscape of Valley of Fire. Whisper your vows in slot canyons or on fire waves, and pop some champagne to celebrate your unique taste.

8. Have your first look at 7 Magic Mountains,

a giant set of stacked colorful rocks that provides a gorgeous contrast to the vast desert it faces. Take your crew of up to 10, including yourselves, to grab a drink at Pioneer Saloon, a little western saloon and restaurant with big Vegas history.

9. If you don’t have your M1 endorsement, take a trike tour.

You can choose from Red Rock Canyon or Hoover Dam, but enjoy the sites while the wind blows through your hair. Head back to your hotel room, suite, or Air BnB and enjoy every amenity. Your Las Vegas elopement is all about you, so why not indulge?

10. Explore the gold mines and pop champagne at the mouth of the caves.

Some of the mines have amazing views of the desert valley. A professional off-roading driver can take you on some of the best kept off-roading trails that exist all along the desert.

11. Rent out a cabin in Mt. Charleston.

Make a hearty breakfast before you hit any one of the trails to the perfect spot to say I do. Have some coffee before you break off to get ready by yourselves. You’re going to have a first look right before your ceremony. When you’ve had your first kiss you’ll smoke a joint and take in the sites of a place that seems so far away from Vegas, it can’t possibly be a 40 minute drive away from the Strip (but it is!). Have your personal chef make you your favorite meal and enjoy your first dance and your first piece of cake as married couple under the stars.

12. Kayak to any of the beautiful blue coves lining the Colorado River.

Enjoy your privacy while you watch the river rush by and whisper your vows to seal your union. Take a dip in the crystal blue water and set up camp on the rocky shore. You can kayak back to civilization or hike, it’s up to you!

13. Rent a Jeep and bring your dogs and your crew with you to Mount Charleston.

Set up camp and take a hike to a view point to say your vows. Pop a bottle of champagne, toasting your beautiful union.  Take in the views and head back to camp to enjoy an unplugged day of wedded bliss. Make s’mores and exchange love stories around the fire. If you’re musicians, bring your instruments and jam around the fire.

14. Take a helicopter to the Grand Canyon.

Say I do in the middle of secluded tribal land.  Enjoy dinner while you take in the massive sights and try to shake the feeling of utter tininess. Head back to your accommodations by helicopter taking in the sights of the brightly lit Las Vegas skyline. Meet your intimate party with your at your hotel suite reception. You’ve got the grand terrace so you can continue to take in all the Las Vegas lights. Your adventurous elopement can be in the Grand Canyon, yes, even if you do start in Las Vegas.

15. Say your vows on a massive dry lake bed and take in the views.

You can drive straight on to a dry lake bed, set up your tea party, say your vows and be back on the Strip within 30 minutes, trust me, we’ve done it before! Once you get back, take a nap and hit the Strip to take in all the neon lights, famous fountains, enjoy an alcoholic beverage anywhere on the street and enjoy a five star meal.

16. Head to Boulder City, about 30 minutes from the Strip.

Go on a scenic hike and say your vows. Enjoy the rest of your day by ziplining through the desert and having a picnic with a view to commemorate the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever seen. Remember, this sunset belongs to you.

17. Head to some sand dunes and say your vows atop the highest one.

Take some quads or dirt bikes and zip through the dunes at your leisure making your way to a dinner served personally and far away from prying eyes. Rent a camper and enjoy the sounds of nature and the sight of the milky way as the sun sets.

18. Rent a suite on the Strip and splurge, but locally!

Order all of your favorite foods, desserts, candy, and trees that Las Vegas has to offer. Might we suggest Milkshake Wasted, loaded mouthwatering milkshakes designed to fulfill your sweet tooth and your high munchies. Plenty of dispensaries provide delivery services to top off your night with a blunt.

19. Rent a houseboat on Lake Mead.

Take your guests to a private red rocky island and say your vows in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a lake. Bring the booze, the flower, the food, and the music and enjoy a boat with a slide the spits you out into the blue waters of Lake Mead. See, bet you didn’t know we have water in Vegas, but this would make for a fitting adventure elopement for water lovers.

20. Take a trip to Death Valley National Park.

Don’t let the name scare you. Its landscapes include colorful hills and white canyons, as well as salt flats, sand dunes and hilly ridges you can exchange vows on while taking in the beauty of this interesting desert landscape. If you’re moved by camping, maybe we can entice you to stay by telling you that this is the best location to see the milky way. What a great way to end an adventurous elopement!
