Las Vegas Has been the capital of World gambling since its legalisation in 1931. It is a colorfull city, full of casinos, waiting for millionaires as well as the average tourist, wishing to get rich. Due to its abundance of restaurants and hotels, Las Vegas is quite cheap: you can find a place to stay for only a few dollars and have a delicious dinner for even less.
What can you see in Las Vegas?
A part for the casinos, Las Vegas has lots of other attractions to offer. There are museums, galleries and lots of parks.

Near Las Vegas there is very interesting open-air McCarran Aviation Museum, which shows the history of aviation in Southern Nevada from the first flight in 1920 to the appearance of jets. The museum is open 24 hours a day, so you can visit it any time you want.

Another place which is the All-American Sports Park, which offers plenty of space and various sporting activities for everyone.
Get married in Las Vegas!
Another aspect Las Vegas is famous for are weddings. It is a great place for those who want to get married very quickly and without all the unnecessary formalities. Weddings take place there every minute and the whole city is full of chapels, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best. You can even choose a drive-thru chapel, where you can get married without leaving your car.

More and more young couples are interested in not only the attraction of weddings, but also in changing the formula of the wedding. With help comes the wedding called - weddings away, and in particular: the ceremonies in Las Vegas. Weddings in Las Vegas are on the one hand a very fast way to marriage, without any formalities, on the other hand this is the possibility of craziness and originality to one of the most important events in our lives.

If you choose to conclude a marriage in this oasis of luxury in the middle of the desert, we can be sur
e that it will be incredible and unforgettable experience, how different from the events celebrated in Poland.
1. Would you take such kind of marriage?
2. What do you think about this way of getting married?
3. Would you like such kind of marriages to be concluded in Poland?
It would be good to visit Las Vegas some day, ofcourse not to get married but to spend (or win? :P) some money in casinos and feel the atmosphere of that place.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would like to take such kind of marriage - maybe, but after that I would like to have traditional polish wedding party ;) This way of marriage is dangereous because when people are drunk (and in such place there are probably a lot of such people) they do stupid things like getting married, and due to no formalities it is possible. Next day after hangover is gone they may regret it ;P
I'd like to visit Las vegas but not really to get married there. I don't see it very unconventional, it's just another city.
ReplyDeleteMuch more crazy weddings are in air or underwater.
I think if people like it then the way is free, who cares?
Unfortunately 'polish traditional wedding party' seems to me very kitschy so maybe this one in Vegas is better.
In my opinion, this kind of weddings is takes just for fun. It reminds movie, “The Hangover” where people are drunk and get married. Next day they do not remember anything.
ReplyDeleteI prefer our traditional Polish wedding. They have their charm. In Poland this idea would not work at all. More interesting is to organize the wedding in a variety of interesting and strange places. We have influence what we want to have, how it looks like.
Although I've never been to Las Vegas or generally USA, I have my own opinion and I'm going to present it ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid the weddings in Las Vegas can most probably be got only for fun... The most important reason would probably be the fact that the state of Nevada and it's acceptance of gambling seems very specific in comparison to the other states ;) So the other american states may not be acknowledging marriages from Las Vegas... Not to forget that the couples getting married there are a little drunk or on drugs ;)
If it comes to Poland and our traditional weddings, I think they're overrated and archaic... All the wedding parties I know always were just a simple drinking bout... But maybe some things are changing. I've seen advertising once of such ceremony: http://www.ceremoniehumanistyczne.pl/slub.html
Every nation has got its own traditions. USA is young country, it is mix of cultures, which based on different tradition. Every of this deserve for its own space to cultivate and of course for tolerance. Las Vegas seems to be a perfect example of such tolerance for tradition and also a will of adding something new to existing ones. And it is great that it is place like this, because if someone will decide in Poland to organize weeding like this, perhaps he will, but there is huge possibility that such pair will have to fight for it witch family, and with the representatives of church. They will try to convince them that traditional would be better. In Las Vegas everyone is free and can do it as he like. Because i grew in this Polish and i like it i would not be revolutionist, but if i was born in USA there is possibility i would search tradition which suits me best in Las Vegas.
ReplyDeleteI was never in USA and I don't want go there in future and really dislike a weddings in church, because
ReplyDeleteI think it take too many time, money and.. stres. I'm not married (I'm very happy about that!), but I've many friends who had, have or will have a wedding. They told me how many work it take.. brrr.. I totally agree with Maciej Kuchciak when he said: "this kind of weddings is takes just for fun". Wedding in Poland is a very important time for two people and these family, then that must prepare perfect. BUT! Villemo said "Unfortunately 'polish traditional wedding party' seems to me very kitschy so maybe this one in Vegas is better." I agree also with that, because you hadn't any crazy problems with papers, priest, family, cost...
Wedding in Las Vegas could be a good option for people who want get married secretly and quickly as possible or for the people who don't like big and traditional wedding party and related organization with that. It's very easy option. Newly-weds don't need any preparations, don't need any wedding suit and dress, they can wear normal clothes.This kind of wedding would be very original in Poland. I'm interested how many people would choice that quick wedding in Poland. If decision of getting married in this way is aware, doesn't have to be a bad solution.
ReplyDeletePersonally I wouldn't take this kind of marriage, call me old-fashioned but I want normal open air wedding, with roasted pig and live music :D
ReplyDeleteI don't support this kind of marriage, I think wedding should be well thought and in made in traditional way.
I think this kind of marriages won't be socialy acteptable in Poland, however people who would like non traditional wedding always can go to Las Vegas for example and get married there. This would be a great story to tell :D
You can see an example of marriage in Las Vegas in film titled "Hangover" ;)
1. Would you take such kind of marriage?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't take such kind of marriage, but it is not because of the form of this wedding. I don't like the idea of getting married at all. For me it isn't really important if it is 'fast' wedding in Las Vegas or 'traditional' wedding. Love doesn't need any confirmation in some kind of registry office.
2. What do you think about this way of getting married?
I think, this is fast and cheap way of getting married, but it also may lead to hasty decision.
3. Would you like such kind of marriages to be concluded in Poland?
Why not? If someone like this, why shouldn't he/she have an opportunity to get married this way :)
As I'm not very keen on marriage, if I am ever going to have a wedding It
ReplyDeletewould probably be something unconventional. So maybe a wedding in Las Vegas is
a good idea for me. As far as introducing this type of getting married in
Poland is concerned, I don't thing it's a good idea, because people in Poland
treat marriage more seriously. I agree with Tomsi that it is a matter of
tradition and people are just used to church wedding with a party (reception) afterwards.
To me Las Vegas is a specific city that has always interested me. I think it is unique despite the fact that it is full of kitsch. Certainly I would like to see it, but I would not take the wedding there. I’ m rather the type of traditionalist. As we know people are different, some prefer a traditional Polish wedding as I, others need more ‘grandstanding’. It seems to me that something like this wouldn’t assume in Poland. Polish people prefer a traditional wedding in a large family circle. Polish weddings are in a lot of charm. Personally I don’t like the idea of a wedding in Las Vegas.
