There are so many unique wedding venues in Las Vegas that make your jaw drop.

Las Vegas is the home for the unconventional. It’s a place where the eccentric and the out-of-the-ordinary thrive, and this also goes for wedding venues in the city.

Las Vegas Is The Wedding Capital Of The United States

The city of dreams, Las Vegas, is also the wedding capital of the entire country, Vegas’ official wedding website states. Data from Clark County also show that Las Vegas has issued 33,000 wedding licenses in 2024.

Celebrity couples like Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos and so many more have made Las Vegas their wedding venues.

Historical marriages — and later annulments — have happened throughout Vegas’ start as a city. We’re the city of pleasure and dreams, so it makes for a great wedding. In fact, the wedding industry generates a significant amount of revenue for the city. The New York Times reported last year that the wedding industry boasted $2.5 billion for the city’s tourism sector.

Why Do So Many People Have Weddings In Las Vegas?

Aside from being a city that melts aspirations and turns them into reality, the historical glamor of Vegas attracted couples like Elvis and Priscilla Presley or Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow to say “I do.” Along with that, the New York Times reported that the short drive from Los Angeles made Las Vegas alluring to celebs, who wanted a smaller and more intimate setting.

But the real popularity of wedding venues in Las Vegas happened during Prohibition.

“Clark County eliminated blood tests and waiting periods that were required of couples who were trying to get married,” The New York Times reports.

Yale University even published an article in its student publication that said affordability, non-legal ceremonies, hotel packages, parties and intimacy have been major factors that propelled Vegas’ popularity for weddings. Vegas is also popular for elopement.

You can get themed weddings and even drive-thru weddings, which makes the process easy and adds a “no frills” vibe to a usual stressful day.
