Going to the Chapel, Over 200 Times a Day, in Las Vegas

January 12, 2010 at 6:29 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

If you're the type of bride-to-be who doesn't want to deal with any other brides on your wedding day, then um, don't get married in Vegas sister.

According to the Las Vegas marriage statistics about 108,963 applications for marriage licenses were filed in 2007 for Clark County. When you break that down, about 298 couples got married every day and you have to assume a lot of that is happening for weddings in Las Vegas--provided the couples go through with the "I Do"s before the tequila shots wear off.

In 2009, that number dropped down to 92,725 which is still about 254 couples getting married a day.

Of course, most folks are probably getting married on the weekends, especially the drunk in love kinds, and it's not typical to see wedding parties parade through the casino on a Monday. But since we know that everything is cheaper during the week, we can understand if couples get married during the week instead. We just can't understand having Elvis as the officiant.

Fast Facts on Gettin' Hitched in Vegas

So, you want to get married in Vegas. Whether you’re propelled by the idea that true love must involve spontaneity and therefore a drive-thru wedding chapel is in order, or your relatives are spread all over the map and Vegas is as good as anyplace to convene them for your special day, here are a few practical tidbits you need to know:

1. Get a License Beforehand:
While you can get married at various wedding chapels 24 hours a day, as of a couple of years ago, you can no longer get a marriage license at any hour of the day or night. (Just think of the headache that would’ve saved Britney a few years back.) The Clark County Marriage License Bureau is still open from 8 a.m. until midnight daily, so you and your betrothed should be able to squeeze in a visit there.

2. Bring $60: That's how much the marriage license fee is in Clark County. So make sure you still have some twenties stashed in your pockets. And no, they don't take poker chips.
