Destination wedding, what kind of questions should I be asking?
I'm planning on getting married in Las Vegas (Oct 2010), and I'm heading up in a few weeks to check out venues. What kind of questions should I be asking?
A few things have come across my path that I didn't think to ask about, like whether or not the venue allows you to bring your own vendors (photographer, officiate, etc) and whether or not tips are included in the fee.
I love Las Vegas because of its convenient location (away from moochers!) and even for a nice (non-cheesy) wedding it's still comparatively affordable. The distance makes checking places out difficult, and there's only so much you can tell about a place by looking online. Planning a wedding makes traveling back and forth between CA and NV prohibitively expensive, so this trip up is pretty much my one chance to nail down a venue.
I've never done anything like this before, so I don't know where to begin. Any help would be appreciated!

call the hotels on the strip and inquire about the wedding packages
For the reception venue: is catering included? Is tableware included? Is service included? Is cleanup included? If catering isn't included, what do you need from the caterer, and by what date? What specifically do you mean by "service": one waiter for every two tables, or one waiter for the entire room? If we supply our own alcohol, how much do you charge for corkage? Do you charge extra for serving the wedding cake? How much do you charge per extra guest? If you have to cancel our reservation, will we get our deposit back, and when is the latest date we can be cancelled for anything short of Act of God?
