More than 100,000 marriages are performed in Las Vegas every
year. Blood tests are not required and there is no waiting period in the
State of Nevada, so basically all you need to get married here is a valid
driver's license, money($35) and a fiancé. After you visit the Clerk's
office to obtain your marriage license, you have to find a chapel. Some
of the casinos have chapels for more traditional weddings, but if you're
going all the way you might want to consider the non-casino alternatives.
Within a half-mile of the Strip between Sahara Ave. and downtown, there
are numerous private chapels where you can get hitched.
The (very) basic chapel fee starts at around $50, and you should give
the minister about $40. A variety of services are usually available including
civil ceremonies, non-denominational ceremonies, ceremonies with original
vows and marriages involving kids from previous relationships.
