Wedding traditions of Las Vegas
The wedding capital of the United States, where a license, a chapel and a ceremony can be done in a day.
Nevada has no waiting period and no blood test, so couples can get a marriage license at the county clerk and marry the same day. The city has dozens of wedding chapels and tens of thousands of weddings a year, and the Clark County office issues the licenses.

Chapels offer ceremonies in many styles, from a plain service to themed packages. Drive-up ceremonies and Elvis impersonators are best known, though many couples choose a hotel garden or a desert setting. The Clark County Marriage License Bureau is open late and at weekends, and a license is valid in the state of Nevada for one year.
Wedding tourism
People travel from around the world for a quick wedding or a vow renewal. Some chapels livestream the ceremony for guests unable to attend. It is a wedding business built around convenience, and it also hosts many second and third weddings.
