WEDDING CHAPELS

Las Vegas often is called "The Wedding Capital of the World." Upwards of 100,000 marriage licenses are issued here each year. And the license is all that is required, no blood test or waiting period. One simply goes to the Clark County Courthouse at 200 S. 3rd Street downtown, anytime between 8 a.m. and midnight. The fee is only $50.

Then, for the ceremony and celebration, Las Vegas has more than 50 wedding chapels, offering all sorts of services - even limousine transportation from your hotel and back. The chapel fees range according to extras you order such as flowers, recordings, videos, etc.
