The Little Church of the West
The Little Church of the West, Gothic Revival wedding chapel in Paradise, United States
The Little Church of the West is a Gothic Revival chapel with cedar exteriors and redwood interiors decorated with Victorian lamps salvaged from 19th-century railroad cars. Its straightforward layout and crafted details make it a recognizable wedding venue on the Las Vegas Strip.
Built in 1942 as part of the Last Frontier Hotel complex, it was the first freestanding wedding venue designed specifically for the Las Vegas Strip. Over the decades, the structure was moved three times but maintained its original architectural design throughout each relocation.
The chapel draws couples from around the world who appreciate its old-fashioned interior with wooden pews and vintage lighting fixtures. This combination of heritage materials and its role as a marriage venue creates a distinct place where visitors seek traditional wedding experiences.
The chapel sits between Mandalay Bay and the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign, making it easy to locate while exploring the Strip. Visitors should know that ceremonies are available in different languages, and availability can shift depending on events happening nearby on any given day.
The wooden pews inside date back to 1942 when the chapel first opened, making them among the oldest furnishings that remain in place from the early Las Vegas Strip era. This continuity is striking given how many other buildings from that period have been torn down or completely redesigned.
