Okay, so my FH and I are very intrigued by the idea of an in-suite "reception," as we are getting married in Las Vegas and don't want anything super formal, more so just a party-esque celebration afterwards. We don't really want to have a formally catered event, maybe something like pizza and/or snack/appetizer/veggie trays and cake, which would mean us bringing in our own food & beverage. I've seen others say that a lot of hotels on the strip don't allow you to bring in your own F&B, so that kind of makes me nervous because we don't want the jacked up hotel prices. Do we just not say anything about it, or should I try to work with them first? And I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for which hotels/suites would be suitable for a party of 35-40 people (if 100% RSVP yes)? If this ends up not working out, we'd probably just do a normal dinner all together like we originally planned, but we just feel like this would be more fun for everyone.
This will be out-of-state for everyone involved. I obviously want to do a hotel block at the hotel we decide to book this at, but odds are, it will be in one of the more expensive hotels in Vegas, and the more cost effective hotels will be a decent distance away (doing a block there too). I know some have 10 room minimums & I'm sure I could add more if a block fills up, but how many should I start with at each location? We are looking at about 20 households, so 10 each? I also want to make sure my guests get to their hotels safely, so should I be responsible for their transportation if they decide to stay at a further location, or would that be on them?
