Vegas Chapels

The most well-known of the Vegas weddings is in one of the wedding chapels. Couples can choose one from about 50 different chapels. These chapels offer various different packages from a simple ceremony to an elaborate themed affair. Some of the chapels even offer drive-through weddings. Many of the chapels offer their weddings inside, while some, even along the Strip, offer beautiful gardens outside in which couples can exchange their vows.
Civil Ceremony

For those who do not want a more elaborate ceremony in a chapel or who are looking to spend as little as possible, a wedding at the Clark County Marriage Bureau is your best option. As of 2011, the marriage license will cost a couple $55. A civil ceremony costs an additional $50. Some of the other Las Vegas venues require a civil ceremony to be completed before they perform the religious ceremony in the chapel. Check with your venue of choice to ensure the proper steps are taken.

Dining options can also be added to many of the casino wedding packages. These weddings are the best option for those seeking a more elaborate wedding.

The Little Chapel of the Flowers also offers flying weddings over the Grand Canyon using helicopters and airplanes.
At the MGM Grand, a couple can marry while riding a roller coaster, while couples at Treasure Island can have a pirate-themed wedding. Several chapels also offer packages that take you to the Grand Canyon to be married while standing at the edge of the canyon.
