A Nevada Ghost Town Wedding Unlike Any Other
Nelson Ghost Town (also known as Eldorado Canyon) is surrounded by historic Eldorado Canyon remnants. Featuring weathered vintage buildings and Old West aesthetics, it sits just 45 minutes from Las Vegas and provides one of Nevada's most unique Las Vegas wedding backdrops.
The terrain is gravel and uneven desert — wear comfortable footwear for your arrival. Notable features include vintage barns, antique vehicles, a Cholla Cactus Field, and a historic rustic wedding chapel made famous by film and television productions.
For the most stunning photography, schedule your ceremony approximately 90 minutes before official Las Vegas sunset to capture the Canyon Glow — the soft, warm light diffused by the canyon walls that makes Nelson Ghost Town weddings extraordinary.
