Two couples, one for renewing their vows at Venetian and that went off really nice I thought. The other couple was their actual wedding and that was at Imperial of all places. That couple said they would never even consider doing it at Las Vegas again but I think the issues was that it was at Imperial that didn't help the matter. The renewal's at Venetian was actually pretty nice. A group of about thirty guests plus their own immediate family for a total group of about 50. They said they would do it again and the last I heard from them they are thinking about doing it when they hit another milestone anniversary. As I didn't plan the events I don't have much to offer except from a visitor's standpoint.

I got married in Vegas, however, I am a local and got married in my moms backyard...
I have been to several of the tourist type chapel weddings. Some of the hotels have really nice facilities and some are really cheesy...
Do you have some specific questions?

I went to a friends wedding at one of the hotels a few years back. I don't remember the hotel. A lot of family that lives in Vegas got married in town. The most recent was my cousin that got married in the little wedding chapel accross from the Luxor. It has been moved several times over the years and is actually very nice for a small wedding. You don't even feel like you are on the strip at all.

Almost all of the big hotel/casinos have wedding packages that include the suite, limo, chapel, etc.
The Paris, Bellagio and Wynn have great packages (a bit pricey, but worth it) but you can also just book a chapel. Granted, most chapels are more than slightly cheesy, but some people find them fun.
The larger hotels usually have a more "romantic" wedding site - a garden area and nice background for photos.
Go on-line to any of the larger casinos and click on wedding packages - you can compare prices and might be surprised how affordable they are!

Bellagio
My wife and I were married at Bellagio back in '03, and I posted some of our experiences with the reception (and a few tips) in this thread:

We also married in Vegas in 2003. In fact Saturday was our third anniversary.
We flew over a year beforehand (any excuse for a Vegas jaunt!) after some preliminary research to decide on a location. We visited Bellagio, MGM, Caesars, Monte Carlo and another that I have since forgotten.
Bellagio was nice but not worth the extra $$$. Monte Carlo sucked. Caesars was very good but slightly overpriced so we went with the MGM.
We found it quite easy to organise (with help of the chapel's worforce) from such a distance. The day was great. The wedding was followed by a prearranged reception catered by room service in out Terrace suite at the MGM and the evening climaxed (so to speak) at Fontana, drinking Champagne whilst watching the fountains.

A friend from college got married last year at the Flamingo. There's a garden area out back with a little gazebo and such--nothing huge, nothing fancy, but it was nice and something different.
Of course, that was before it started to rain during the ceremony (in July, no less...ugh...hot *and* humid!)...but that just gave everyone something to talk about.
