Las Vegas Hotel Weddings

It comes as no surprise that along with the fame, great fortunes have been made from the Las Vegas hotel wedding. In fact, Las Vegas is quite rightly known as one of the world's main marriage capitals, where getting a marriage license at much lower costs is part of the attraction.

The Las Vegas hotel wedding's process is what makes it even even more appealing. Licenses are not governed by waiting times or blood test requirements. Couples, divorced or otherwise, fill out a quick form, pay the lowly fee, show picture ID and within minutes they are set to go. Interestingly enough, proof of a previous divorce is not needed, and the couple to be have only one year to tie the knot.

The wedding industry in the city is highly competitive with around 150,000 of them being performed annually. The varied types begin with the cheap $50 civil/non-religious/religious/desk wedding, performed by the Marriage Commission of Las Vegas. However, for the more traditional at heart, a fair number of the major hotels and restaurants will do a wedding, as well as the local churches, golf courses and the famous wedding chapels.

The wedding chapels are found on the Las Vegas hotel wedding strip or in their own district. The choices of wedding types are seemingly endless – traditional (reception/non-reception), drive-thru, motorbike, gazebo, themed and outdoor. Fancy a Star Trek wedding, dear?

The Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel is quite well-known for hiring impersonators to make fantasy or theme weddings much more realistic. An impersonator attended wedding can get the happy couple a ceremony with Elvis or some other famous icon in attendance. This can cost as much as $200 or more.

The outdoor chapel weddings are usually performed somewhere nearby in the Las Vegas area. Some of the most popular locations include lakes, the Valley of Fire, Mount Charleston, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, and the Grand Canyon. In fact, many a famous person has opted for this, either surprising the world with a sudden, but secretive marriage or a major affair with countless guests and extreme opulence.

Whatever the case, the Las Vegas hotel wedding makes Las Vegas a popular romantic place that people from around the world flock to for their marriages. Each couple is rewarded with mountains of memories, but if the wedding ends in a hasty divorce, Las Vegas can perform that too. As they say, if need be, 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'.
