Bringing a touch of Asian elegance to the Strip, the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino offers a variety of entertainment experiences ranging from the glitz of "Legends In Concert," a tribute to beloved entertainers of the past and present to the authentic Polynesian ambiance of a luau revue.

Guests of the 2,700-room hotel can marvel at the automotive artistry of over 250 vehicles once owned by presidents and other notables at "Auto Collections," try their luck at 56 gaming tables or over 1,000 gaming machines, including video poker, wheel of fortune and hundreds of nickel slots in the 75,000-square-foot casino, or simply soak up the sun while sipping on a cool drink from the Shangri-La poolside bar.

Location: Conveniently located only moments from McCarran International Airport, this luxury hotel, purchased by Harrah's Entertainment Inc. in 2005, is a fixture on the Strip.

The Wedding Packages: Five wedding presentations are available, beginning with the cost-conscious "Jade" package, which provides couples with a half hour in the chapel, a long-stemmed rose for the bride to hold as she walks down the aisle, a wedding album in which to display 12 4X6 photos of the nuptials, and Imperial Palace champagne.

For the ultimate expression of love, the "Majestic" offers limousine service to the courthouse for a marriage license or a one hour scenic drive along the Strip, a video of the wedding ceremony (as with the other packages, couples are allowed 30 minutes in the chapel), a cascading bouquet for the bride as well as floral finery for the maid of honor, groom and best man, and a wedding album containing 12 4X6 photos.

The package also provides post-ceremony pampering, including his and hers bathrobes, which the newlyweds can wrap themselves in after a couples massage at the hotel spa; a gift certificate to dine at one of four of the venue's restaurants, and two fluted glasses brimming with champagne in order to toast to a two night stay in the Luv Tub suite.

Special "bride-to-be" and "groom-to-be" spa wedding packages are available, which allow couples to prepare for the big event with a 25-minute massage, a mini-facial and an invigorating vanilla sugar scrub.

Receptions: Up to 600 guests can dine at round tables draped in linen on delicacies offered on eight different menu plans, which range from the elegant simplicity of cold canapés and hot hors d'oeuvres to a lavish buffet setting for parties with over 50 attendees. After sampling slices of a multi-tiered cake (which is offered with each wedding package) guests can kick up their heels on the dance floor.

The Chapel: In the We've Only Just Begun Wedding Chapel, up to 100 guests seated on gold gilt, straight back chairs accented with ivory padding can witness the bride walk down a carpet of muted hues toward the pulpit. Cascading displays of floral finery provide a romantic backdrop for the ceremony. (A petite chapel is available for intimate weddings involving 20 guests or less.)
