Get Started
Eldorado Canyon at Nelson Ghost Town is a restored historic mining site southeast of Las Vegas, filled with weathered wooden buildings, old gas pumps, vintage cars, and desert hills. It is ideal for couples who want a rustic, cinematic look rather than a traditional chapel or hotel setting.Ceremonies here feel like stepping onto a movie set, with endless photo backdrops and a mix of old structures, props, and open desert. You will want to plan footwear and outfits that work with gravel, dust, and sometimes tight walkways between buildings.Because Nelson Ghost Town is privately managed, all weddings, photo sessions, and events are subject to their site rules, fees, and scheduling. A local officiant who is familiar with the property can help you coordinate timing, respect location boundaries, and keep your ceremony running smoothly around photography and site usage.
