Getting married in Las Vegas is an option that’s not for everyone. If you value traditional settings, Las Vegas with its casinos and flashing lights is probably not the best option for you. But for couples looking for unique experiences, spontaneity, and flexibility, Las Vegas may be the perfect wedding destination. It’s become a popular place for many couples to tie the knot. You can get a license quickly and choose from many iconic locations to exchange your vows. Venues range from tacky and quirky to ones that offer pure luxury and decadence.

How to prepare

Many venues in Las Vegas will accommodate you without a booking. However, planning ahead of time means you have less stress. If you do some research, you can find wedding planners that offer some all-inclusive packages. Hotel accommodation is more expensive on holidays or if any major events are taking place. You could save money if you don’t get married at these times. Packages are available for a wide range of budgets so you can opt for a simpler package if necessary.

With the wide selection of entertainment on offer in Las Vegas, post-wedding activities can be unforgettable too. If you are going to gamble while in Las Vegas, it’s helpful to practice at US online casinos before you go.

Legal requirements

One of the reasons why Las Vegas is a good place to tie the knot is because it is easy to get a license. The Clark County Marriage License Bureau issues the license and you can pre-register for it on its website. With the permission in hand, you can marry anywhere there’s someone licensed to officiate. To apply for it, each party needs a valid form of identification. Your license will have the names that appear on the identification documents.
