Wedding facts
As you might expect, getting a marriage license in Vegas is as easy as dropping $20 into a slot machine.
Both the bride and groom must apply in person at the Clark County Marriage License Bureau, 200 South 3rd Street. The bureau is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to midnight and continuously from Friday at 8 a.m. to Sunday at midnight. Bring a driver's license as identification. The marriage license costs $35 (cash only).
No blood test is required, and there is no waiting period.
When to go
We actually visited Vegas once in June and can report that it was hot -- really hot. Forget all that stuff about "dry heat" somehow being better. That's bull -- 110 degrees is 110 degrees. It doesn't matter what the humidity is.
The busy seasons in Vegas are in spring and fall. Winters can be downright cold, and Christmas/New Year's week can be incredibly crowded.
Insider tips
The three most popular chapels are Little White Chapel (800) 545-8111 or (702) 382-5943, Candlelight Wedding Chapel (702) 735-4179 and Little Church of the West (702) 739-7971.
Most chapels charge about $50 to rent and request at least $40 for the minister. Almost all take credit cards.
Food is incredibly cheap, as is booze. Do you need a rental car? Probably not. Several shuttle services run from the airport to the casinos. Buses run up and down the strip at frequent intervals. Even if you want to take an excursion outside of Vegas, many companies offer bus tours to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead that will save you the expense of renting a car.
