Henderson

Nevada's second-largest city — quieter than Vegas, closer to Lake Mead, home to Green Valley Ranch and the M Resort. Henderson is southeast of the Strip on the way to Boulder City and Lake Mead. It has 320,000 residents, the state's best-rated schools, and three locals casinos that most tourists never see: Green Valley Ranch, M Resort, and Sunset Station. Rooms are $110-$200, casino minimums $10-$15, buffet lines short. At 9pm the District at Green Valley Ranch — an outdoor plaza with restaurants and a movie theater — is where the neighborhood eats dinner. It is calmer, cleaner and 15-20 minutes from the Strip.This is a solid base for weddings at a resort that isn’t chaotic, business travel to the McCarran Business Park, and anyone doing Lake Mead or Hoover Dam. It is a bad base for anyone who wants to be walking distance to Strip nightlife. Rideshare to the Bellagio is $25-$40, 20-30 min. Water Street in old-town Henderson has a small revival with breweries — Lovelady, Bad Beat — but the actual downtown is compact and closes by 10pm.

Henderson, une bonne base pour un mariage à Vegas ?

Oui — Green Valley Ranch, Westin Lake Las Vegas et Reflection Bay proposent tous des formules mariage complètes ($3 000-$15 000) avec des décors photo qui n'évoquent pas un casino. Les invités logent dans le même resort, pas besoin de navette vers le Strip.
