I'm helping a very good friend of mine plan her Vegas theme wedding in November.. it's going to be about 75 people.
So far we've though about doing personlized playing cards for favors.. getting dice candles for the table and making personalized CDs with all swank cocktail music on it...
for the placecards I was gonna pick her up old-school cheezy vegas post cards when I'm out there.
any other ideas for us?

Las Vegas Wedding
Vegas is truly the city that never sleeps! Whether it's the fabulous casinos or the glamourous shows and shopping that appeal, this is one theme your guests are sure to remember! Here are a few ideas for your Las Vegas themed celebration:
Invitations
Include a few playing cards or poker chips in with the invitations.
Handwrite invitations in gold or silver pen on heavy black paper.
Food & Drink
Feature outrageous cocktails with lots of 'accessories'(paper umbrellas, fruit garnish, huge bowled glassware)
Serve pink champagne out of boule cocktail glasses, Oysters and jumbo shrimp
Hire a showgirl/cocktail waitress to serve drinks and pass hors d'ouevres
Arrange a 'Ceasar's Palace' - style buffet of tables draped in gold lame withhuge bunches of grapes and faux Roman sculptures.
Entertainment
Elvis impersonator
Hire a mobile casino to set up a few games tables and give your guests fun money to gamble with
Karaoke machine with only Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin songs
Décor
Palm trees, sprinkle tables with glittery dollar-sign confetti, use black or red coloured table linens. Dramatic lighting will make all the difference, turn overhead lights off and make use of table lamps or hire a lighting company to light the room for you Use heart confetti, to mimic the card suit
Use Vegas souvenirs to incorporate into the party. Collect matchbooks, brochures and other trinkets from hotels and restaurants you visit and scatter them on tables to add an authentic feel to your celebration!

I saw those chocolate coins on one of the wedding favor websites, I'll see if I can find it. You can have those on the tables. Poker chips, feathers, martini glasses?

Definately need to get some gambling tables for the guests to play.. Give them tokens to play with and at the end of the night they can cash the chips in for silly prizes...stuffed animals or even the center pieces.

SOmeone on the knot had a vegas wedding and made the bo-ks out of those big furry dice. She had 3 white ones and the bms had three red ones. It sounds cheesey but it was kind of cute.
