Stained Glass Chapel

Just a short walk from downtown Las Vegas, on Ogden and 9th Street, is a house that was constructed between 1932 and 1942 as the private home of Las Vegas Sheriff Frank Wait. It was built primarily with labor supplied by prisoners from the local jail, and its walls contain authentic Native American Petroglyphs and stones from National Parks and Indian Reservations that would have later been protected from such use.

The building was officially recognized in 1995 as a Historic Site and today is serves as the wedding ceremony facility of the Stained Glass Chapel. The owners have decorated it with antiques and artifacts of days past. These include an authentic, hand-crafted 17th century pulpit, museum-quality iron church doors, and colorful stained glass windows.

Wedding packages at the Stained Glass Chapel start at $175 and run up to $599. Among services available are floral arrangements, wedding cakes, professional photography, limousine transport, and up to three songs sung by "Elvis." Also available are branded merchandise items bearing the Stained Glass Chapel logo, ranging from T-shirts, caps, aprons, teddy bears, and coffee mugs to intimate apparel.

The Stained Glass Chapel is located just east of the Las Vegas Strip at 901 East Ogden Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101-4234. An old gnarled oak tree provides shade over the entrance.
