Yes, there are two events now you may rsvp for after updating our website (4/29/24). In an effort not to confuse everyone we were only going to use this website for Portugal, but looks like the website we were using for our Las Vegas wedding was unreliable. Please note the Las Vegas Wedding is on June 8th at 5pm in The Little Church of the West, and the Portugal wedding is August 2nd at 4pm.

The processing time for a US passport is up to 10 weeks and about half that time if expedited. The website is very helpful and will walk you through the process. To start with, you'll need a DS-11 form and a passport-quality photo (I got mine done at Walgreens/CVS). The fee is about $165 for the passport book. please look on this website for more details: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/apply-in-person.html

Yes! The cocktail hour starts at 6:30pm at Resorts World, and if you can only make it to that event on June 8th-that’s completely fine!

If you're in the middle of the Crockford casino floor, follow the signs to the Hilton, and it will lead you to a corridor next to the escalators. Follow this corridor and it's next to Genting Palace.
