Vegas Dreams Come True At The Resorts World Wedding Venue

Nov 25, 2025

Resorts World is a luxury casino that overlooks the heart of Sin City. While the table games and slot machines might be the most popular attractions on site, the rooftop is ready to provide you with an experience unlike any other! As a Las Vegas wedding photographer, I get the chance to explore some of the best venues across this town, and now, I am here to chat about all my faves. If you have been wondering about a Resorts World wedding, I would love to tell you my experience after working with Christopher and Stephanie! 

About The Resorts World Wedding Venue

3000 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109

Resorts World is the ideal space to satisfy any hotel loyalty reward members. This 59-story building offers three different hotel brands on one easy campus. When you stay at Resorts World for your wedding, you are going to have access to the Las Vegas Hilton, the Conrad Las Vegas, and the Crockfords Las Vegas. With over 3,500 rooms, you are going to have the perfect space for nearly every kind of stay.

With so many rooms, you can bet they also have the very best amenities. Throughout your stay, you are going to have access to an on-site spa, a dayclub, a nightclub, a theater, and more food than you know what to do with. The casino frequently hosts professional tournaments while still welcoming the occasional gambler. You can try out slot machines, craps, roulette, and so much more. Regardless of what you have in mind for your Vegas weekend, this is your spot to make it happen

Details of the Grounds

Christopher and Stephanie invited me to document their Resorts World rooftop wedding, and spoiler alert, it was a total dream! The pair had worked with Tara Marie Events to take their vision and make it a reality. The morning of their wedding, the pair stayed in separate Resorts World rooms and got ready with their respective wedding parties. Stephanie spent a few hours getting spoiled by the team at Vegas Makeup Artistry as her team sipped on champagne. Not only did the hotel rooms give them tons of room to relax with their friends and family, but the windows let in spectacular views of the surrounding city. And of course, we soaked up that natural lighting for their pictures!

This venue is able to host parties with up to 5,000 guests, with both indoor and outdoor spaces available. Christopher and Stephanie decided to take full advantage of the mild October weather and held their wedding out on the rooftop. The colors throughout their late afternoon ceremony were truly spectacular as the setting sun turned the world vivid shades of pink and blue. Truly, the space didn’t need much decoration, but their lush flower arrangements from Blooms by Sirce breathed a little extra life into the view. The venue also had string lights across the area, adding a touch of romance.

A Beautiful Resorts World Wedding Reception In The Same Place

The pair said their I dos, and we remained on the rooftop to take their portraits while their guests enjoyed some light refreshments. The space was then converted for their reception as the Vegas nightlife began. While the daytime made the atmosphere look nearly ethereal, the evening really gave us some classic Vegas backdrops. The hotels lit up in the background while the party danced for hours to music played by Choice Sound. It was vibrant and electric, just like this couple!

If you would prefer to have an indoor celebration, Resorts World has several event spaces you can choose from. Their ballrooms are modern and luxurious with neutral color palettes and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in all of the views. If your day gets a little too windy, they will work with you to pick an indoor spot as a backup option so you can still have your dream wedding, just without the vertigo.

Photography Opportunities

As a wedding photographer, I absolutely loved working at Resorts World. There were just so many picture-perfect backdrops we were able to use throughout. I already spoke a little about how the rooms were ideal for candid pictures, but they were also great for more formal portraits. The color palette was neutral, while the huge windows let us showcase Stephanie’s finished look.

The pair chose to have their first look portraits outside on the terrace. This is always my favorite part of the day, and it did not disappoint! As Christopher admired his bride-to-be, I used the towering hedges as a lush backdrop. Then, we went around the lounge, using the bar for their portraits together.

For their formal portraits, I loved using the rooftop! This space is very flat and accessible, giving you the perfect way to share this moment with all your friends and family. Trust me, the golden hour up here is truly unmatched!

Wedding Details

Resorts World features luxury hotels, and as such, they are going to make sure you feel positively pampered throughout your entire wedding weekend. Their culinary team draws inspiration from across the globe and will help you plan your perfect meal. They can also take care of all the desserts. They will provide your guests with room blocks so everyone has a cozy spot to crash after the party is over. The hotel is also going to give you all the necessary supplies, including tables, chairs, a dance floor, and audio equipment. Throughout your celebration, your guests will have on-site parking as well as a valet service. By the way, many of the rooms are pet-friendly, and the hotel has child care if you choose to have an adult-only party.
