2.	Say “I Do” at the Little Church of the West If your nuptial plans include a ceremony in the Wedding Capital of the World, opt for The Little Church of the West, where Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton pledged their troth, along with other notable couples in recent years.

The Little Church was voted the Best Wedding Chapel in Vegas (of dozens currently operating) in 13 of the past 14 years. 1-800-821-2452 « hide
3.	Cruise the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Make shopping part of your fun getaway adventure by visiting the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Hotel. You can pretend you’re in Venice for the day, strolling along the Grand Canal or sipping a cool drink at one of the many waterside cafes. You may enjoy the artificial sky with shifting colors, and gondola operators will take you for a ride in their boats. During your visit you can listen to live opera or take in the masquerading performers whose singing and jesting will capture your attention. The food court encompasses small coffee shops as well as larger more filling dining areas. Located at "The Venetian," 3377 Las Vegas Blvd « hide
4.	Beware of the Hot Climate Located in a desert environment, Las Vegas weather and temperatures may be very different from what you are used to. The climate can be fiercely hot and dry, especially during the summer months. Plan to stay indoors during the day; most hotels, casinos, shops, and places of business are air conditioned for comfort. Drink plenty of water during the day to stay hydrated, and avoid drinking too much caffeine, which can pump necessary fluids from your system. Wear sunscreen when you venture out in the daytime, especially if you schedule an outdoor activity like golf or sightseeing. Sunglasses are a good idea, along with light-colored, lightweight clothing on hot days. Seek shelter or immediate medical help if you become overheated. « hide
5.	Use Caution in the Desert Be careful if you head out of the city limits to the open desert area. Objects are further away than they appear, which can be confusing to someone trying to gauge distance while hiking or taking a stroll. Dangerous insects, reptiles, and animals can be a problem, especially if you are by yourself or startle one of these creatures. Stay with a group and avoid their natural habitats. While outdoors in the heat, you can become dehydrated very quickly. Drink plenty of water and carry some with you whenever you spend time outdoors. Don’t forget the sunscreen, one of your best friends in Vegas. « hide
