Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for my wedding guests in Las Vegas?
For a Las Vegas wedding, reserve your guest-room block at least six to nine months in advance, especially if you're planning around a holiday weekend or popular convention dates. Properties like Crockfords Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas can fill quickly during peak travel periods. Booking early ensures your out-of-town guests have rooms near your venue and helps you lock in pre-negotiated rates.
What should I compare when choosing where to house my wedding guests?
Compare the number of available guest rooms, proximity to your ceremony or reception venue, and the hotel's own event space if you plan to host pre-wedding events or your reception on-site. Check amenities that matter to your guests, like parking, shuttle service, and restaurants. Properties such as Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa offer about 100,000 square feet of event space and 21 event rooms, which can be helpful if you need multiple spaces for rehearsal dinners or welcome receptions.
Should I pick a hotel close to my ceremony venue or focus on convenience for the wedding party?
That depends on your timeline and transportation plan. If your ceremony and reception are at separate locations, consider a hotel that's central to both or offers easy access to shuttles. Some couples reserve the hotel's event space for the reception so guests can walk straight upstairs after the ceremony, simplifying logistics and keeping everyone together.
How do I book a block of rooms for out-of-town guests?
If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve through Engine's platform. Either way, you'll get consolidated invoicing, multiple payment options, and no membership fee.
Can Engine help with both guest rooms and booking the reception space?
Yes. For a guest-room block of nine or more, Engine Groups manages the booking. The hotel's event and reception space can be searched, compared, and booked through Engine Spaces, Engine's free marketplace of hotel meeting and event spaces across the U.S. and Canada, or arranged with the hotel directly. Crockfords Las Vegas, for example, offers about 250,000 square feet of event space and 15 event rooms, all searchable on Engine Spaces.
