Where to Stay

Erin & Michael are at The Venetian, Thursday through Monday. You do not have to stay there — here are our picks at a few price points.

Transportation

Getting Around

Walk, or take an Uber. That covers 95% of the weekend. Do not rent a car.

What to wear

The Look Book

Funky semi-formal.

If you would wear it to dinner with Elvis, you can wear it to our wedding.

Think 1970s Vegas, but the fun version. Color, pattern, shine, texture, a little bit of drama. Dressed up enough for a chapel and a nice dinner, loose enough that you can dance in it at 1 AM.

This is not a black-tie wedding. Nobody needs a gown or a tux. It's also not a jeans-and-a-nice-top situation. The sweet spot is "I clearly made an effort and I'm clearly having fun."

If you're standing in your closet going "is this too much?", the answer is no. Wear it.

The one rule

Please do not wear light blue.

Not these

Baby bluePowder blueSky bluePeriwinkle

These are fine

Royal blueCobaltNavyTeal

Baby blue, powder blue, sky blue, pastel blue, "it's more of a periwinkle." None of it. That color is spoken for. Royal blue, cobalt, navy, and teal are all fair game and look nothing like it, so you still have the whole blue family minus one shade.

That's it. That's the only rule. Everything else on this page is a suggestion.

The colors

Bright, warm, saturated, and a little bit 1975. If it looks like a shag carpet, a vintage Vegas sign, or a bowl of citrus, you're on the right track.

Burnt orange, terracotta, rust, tomato red
Mustard, marigold, curry, gold
Avocado, olive, chartreuse, lime, emerald
Hot pink, fuchsia, magenta, bubblegum
Royal blue, cobalt, teal, navy
Violet, grape, lavender
Chocolate brown, camel, cream, warm beige
Anything metallic: gold lamé, silver sequins, bronze, copper

Dresses, jumpsuits & skirts

Any length works. Mini, midi, maxi, all of it. Things that are very on theme:

✦A puff-sleeve mini in a loud color
✦A sequin slip dress or a sequin anything
✦A feather-trimmed sleeve or hem
✦A bold floral or psychedelic print, especially with a bell sleeve
✦A metallic pleated maxi or a lamé halter
✦A satin jumpsuit or wide-leg pants with a dramatic top
✦A fringe dress that moves when you do
✦A lace mock-neck layered under a satin mini
✦Vintage. Actual 1970s vintage. Go to a thrift store. Go on Etsy. Go wild.

Suits & separates

A suit is great. A suit in a color is better. A suit in a color with a printed shirt and no tie is the whole assignment. Things that are very on theme:

✦A colored suit: rust, olive, forest green, burgundy, mustard, pink, tan, chocolate brown
✦A velvet blazer (green or burgundy especially) over dark trousers
✦A patterned shirt under a plain suit: big florals, paisley, retro geometric, polka dot, a flower-power print, something satin
✦A tonal look: camel jacket, camel pants, cream shirt, like a Bond villain on vacation
✦Wide lapels, wide-leg trousers, a slightly open collar, a chain or a pinky ring
✦A fun tie if you're a tie person: floral, paisley, something with a little shine. If you're not a tie person, don't wear one
✦Loafers, Chelsea boots, or a Cuban heel. Please not sneakers unless they're very intentional

What to skip: the plain navy suit and white shirt you'd wear to a work thing. It's a fine outfit. It is not an Elvis outfit. Swap the shirt for something with a print and you're there.

House Rules

This is an elopement. There's extended family who isn't invited and doesn't know yet — we want to tell them ourselves, a few days after the wedding.

01
Hold off on wedding content.
No posts of the wedding, the ceremony, or any photos of Erin or Michael until we give the all-clear.
02
Do take photos. Lots of them.
Take the ugly ones too. Just keep them on your phone for now.
03
Vegas shenanigans? Post away.
Anything that isn't the wedding itself is fair game.
04
Then flood the feed.
Once we've made our calls, we'll tell the group chat. Go wild.

Empire Strips Back

After Dark

Strictly optional. Strictly 18+.

Friday night we're at The Empire Strips Back at the Rio. It is exactly what it sounds like: a Star Wars burlesque parody. You're invited if you want to come, but nobody is checking attendance. If you'd rather be at a blackjack table or asleep, both are valid.

When: Friday, January 8 — time TBC
Where: Rio Hotel & Casino

One RSVP covers the whole weekend. Just tick The Empire Strips Back.

Destruct-A-Thon

BattleBots

Robots. Fighting. Live.

Sunday we're at BattleBots: Destruct-A-Thon — live robot combat at the BattleBots Arena, right behind the Horseshoe. Same deal as Friday: come if you want, nobody's taking attendance. Placeholder: tickets / how it works.

When: Sunday, January 10 — time TBC
Where: BattleBots Arena, 4165 Koval Ln
Getting there: Parking is limited (there's a lot just north of the arena, around $15). Easiest is a rideshare, or the Monorail to the Horseshoe/Paris stop.
