Las Vegas

Go totally over the top in the capital of kitsch

Propose here

No, it's not quite Paris but the Eiffel Tower Experience is a half-sized replica of the real thing and has an observation tower atop its 50 storeys. The setting may not be real -- but your intentions doubtless are. Pourquoi pas?

To get you in the mood

Vegas has spawned hundreds of romantic films, from Indecent Proposal to Honeymoon in Vegas to the darker Leaving Las Vegas. Then, of course, there was the hour-long episode of Friends, with its cliff-hanger ending leaving Ross and Rachel married (by mistake), and Chandler and Monica on the brink. As for music, there's the lounge songs of Sinatra and anything by the King himself, Elvis Presley. Viva Las Vegas!

Language of love

Happy anni-Vegas-ary!

Who loves ya baby?

Jackpot! = congratulations!

Uh-uh-uh! = I do!

Stags and hens

When you eventually drag yourself away from the casinos, Vegas has lots of other attractions for groups. Speedworld has a variety of virtual racing rides, including Star Trek -- The Experience, an intergalactic journey aboard a virtual shuttlecraft. There's also a casino called Spacequest that's got futuristic slot machines and characters from your favourite episodes popping out at you all over the place. And those who fancy experiencing the sensation of being flung over the edge of a 900ft building will enjoy Insanity, the white-white knuckle ride at the Stratosphere Tower.
