Fashioned after the original Graceland Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, NV the Oasis Palms chapel was built in the 1950s to facilitate wedding-based tourism to the small desert town. The proprietor of the Flamingo was also an ordained minister so after you checked in, if desired you could get hitched next door.
The chapel is an original 1950’s Plasticville CC-8 Country Church with the belfry. The church was painted off-white and the roof and widows were given a wood finish starting with flat black, then brown and dusted with cream. The windows were covered with multi-colored transparent plastic to mimic traditional stained glass and the interior was fitted with a strip of LEDs in the roof to illuminate the glass from the inside. The picket fence is from Woodland Scenics.
