The night before the wedding -- full of wedding stress, last minute details and your wedding rehearsal. While the rehearsal itself is designed to give you an idea of what to expect when it comes to your ceremony, your wedding rehearsal dinner can be thought of as the official kick off to your wedding occasion. And, if you have chosen to have your wedding rehearsal dinner in Nevada, you'll be able to chose from an array of top gourmet restaurants and casual cocktail joints, as well as other, less sedate options.
Luxurious Las Vegas
Las Vegas couples can have a classy rehearsal dinner at a four star restaurant, such as
Bouchon at the Venetian,
Joël Robuchon at MGM Grand and
Red Square at Mandalay Bay. These ultra swanky restaurant "experiences" will cater to your every desire and serve out-of-this-world cuisine. For a fun, relaxed change of pace, why not search out one of Vegas's legendary cheap eats joints? For lucky $7.77 (easy on your pocketbook!), your guests can enjoy a steak and shrimp dinner at
Mr Lucky's at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (available off menu). And, of course, no one will pick at their food or complain of going hungry at one of Vegas's many all-you-can-eat-buffets.
Planet Hollywood's Spice Market buffet offers both vegetarian and vegan options (not often found in meat-hungry Vegas) and a separate room for parties. Make sure to invite all out-of-town guests to your rehearsal dinner, to make them feel a part of your special ceremony.
Kick Back in Reno and Lake Tahoe
A wedding rehearsal dinner held outside of Las Vegas doesn't have to be a boring affair. In Reno,
Rapscallion Seafood House and Bar offers a private room for parties and an exquisite, seafood-laden banquet menu. A relaxing wedding rehearsal dinner on the banks of Lake Tahoe can be just the ticket for tense, nervous couples, allowing them to relax and be soothed by the sounds of water. You can even book Lake Tahoe's
Bleu Wave yacht for a pre-wedding cruise and rehearsal dinner amid the snow-peaked mountains surrounding the lake.
Explore Nevada's Other Venues
If you are interested in doing something a bit different for your Nevada wedding rehearsal dinner, why not consider a catered barbecue at one of Nevada's picturesque old mining towns, like Chloride or
Goldfield, once Nevada's largest city? Even a simple cookout overlooking the Grand Canyon or in Red Rock Canyon can be a fabulous "thank you" (although, not during the baking summer heat!) to all who are participating in the ceremony, and all who have traveled to attend the wedding of your dreams.
