Valley of Fire Wedding Package: Red Rock Desert Elopement from Las Vegas

The Experience

Before You Go

Time it for late afternoon

Schedule the ceremony an hour or two before sunset to avoid harsh midday light and get the best colors on the sandstone.

Footwear matters

Choose flat, closed shoes or bring a second pair—sand and uneven rock make heels and slippery soles impractical.

Hydrate proactively

Although bottled water is provided, bring your own refillable bottle and drink frequently, especially in summer.

Know the guest limit

Up to 6 guests are included at no extra charge—confirm your party size when booking to avoid surprises.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Fire Wave viewpoint (requires short walk but offers sweeping stripes)
  • Atlatl Rock petroglyph panel—close, intimate rock art site with shallow steps

Wildlife

  • Desert bighorn sheep
  • Lizards such as side-blotched and chuckwalla

Conservation Note

Stay on established paths and avoid touching petroglyphs; the park is fragile—minimize footprint, pack out all trash, and follow Leave No Trace principles.

Valley of Fire was designated Nevada Historical Marker #150 and was set aside as the state’s first park in 1935; Ancestral Puebloan people left petroglyphs here centuries ago.
