Las Vegas is known as the "Marriage Capital of the World" because it is very easy and cheap to get married here, and "Honeymoon" facilities are everywhere. Commercial wedding chapels are very popular as they can provide everything from the traditional wedding to the more zany Drive-thru chapels or Elvis-as-your-best-man wedding. Approximately 100,000 marriage licenses are issued annually in Las Vegas. The most popular days to be married here are Valentine's Day and New Year's Day. Smaller wedding chapels provide wedding packages that start at around $40.00 and go up from there depending upon the frills you choose. Keep in mind that the wedding chapels within the large hotel-casinos tend to be more expensive.
