Whether you've never been to Vegas before or you're a regular member
of the Rat Pack, we hope you can join us in celebrating our wedding.
Where to Stay...
Our wedding will take place at the Canterbury Chapel
in the Excalibur Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas Nevada.
We have arranged a block of rooms at the group rate
of $89 Thursday and Friday and $139 Saturday
under the reference code
“WBRIGGS”.
However, it pays to check travel websites such as Expedia and the hotel's own website,
as you might catch a sale with an even better rate.
If you’d like
something a little different, the Luxor Hotel and the Mandalay Bay
Resort are connected to the Excalibur by indoor tunnels as well
as a tram system. You can check any of the three websites for up-to-date room rates and sale information. |

 |
The Tropicana and the New York New York Hotel are also convenient to the Excalibur, and there are many other great hotels on the Strip.
Feel free to stay wherever you like and join us at your leisure.
In Vegas, there's something for everyone—you can pay anywhere from $29 per night to over $1,000, depending on your taste.
