There are lots of cool places to elope in Las Vegas – and we’re not talking about the Las Vegas Strip. Whether you’re looking for a desert elopement or a fun day in an old ghost town, there are endless unique places to elope in Vegas. Here are a few of our favorites just outside of town!
Red Springs is an oasis of green against a backdrop of red and tan sandstone cliffs. The area is fed year-round by three springs to support large cottonwood trees, ash trees, scrub live oak, honey mesquite, and saltgrass meadows. The Red Spring Boardwalk trail is fully accessible. The marshy grassland attracts a variety of wildlife.
Permit fee applies.
Nelson Ghost Town, five miles from the Colorado River, provides a true desert backdrop for your ceremony. The old mining town has ranch houses, parts of a Texaco gas station, and the weather-worn wooden buildings and machinery. Once a wealth of gold, silver, lead, and copper, the town was mostly occupied by Civil War deserters. Come for history and fun out in the desert!

High above the city in the mountains sits a small hotel with a beautiful outdoor terrace. The Retreat on Charleston Peak provides chairs and guest rooms to get ready in before your special day. Great option any time of year, but especially in the summer to escape the heat!
