Vegas is known as a place for quickie, kitschy, ultra-luxe or otherwise zany weddings, and with good reason. More than 100,000 marriage licenses are issued annually to couples who choose the backdrop of Sin City for their nuptials, with certain major holidays (New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day) enjoying the majority of the wedding action.
Having a rare date combination on the marriage certificate is also a plus. Last year, August 8 (8/8/08) was an incredibly popular date wedding, as 8s are considered the luckiest number in Asian cultures. Of course, the year prior brought us 7/7/07 – the quintessential Vegas jackpot sequence – making it a natural choice for the Vegas-bound betrothed.
This year brings us 9/9/09, and the Stratosphere is first on the scene with a 9s-themed promotion. It’s offering 99 couples the chance to get married, en masse, at 9:09 p.m. on its indoor observation deck. For the price of $99.09, the ceremony includes a champagne reception, classy green-screen, souvenir wedding photo and a two-fer on tickets for the Strat’s sky-high thrill rides. In somewhat of a break with the theme, hotel rates of $29.09 are being extended to wedding participants, too.
Couples are reminded they must present a valid Nevada marriage license by 5 p.m. on the day of the ceremony in order to be included. To reserve your space in the lineup, call (800) 789-9436.
