According to a Las Vegas Convention and Visitor’s Authority (LVCVA) profile survey, about 5% of visitors to Vegas made the trip to get married or attend a wedding in 2021. With total visitation in 2021 totaling 32 million visitors, 5% equates to a significant number of wedding-driven trips to Vegas.
The reason many flock to Vegas for their wedding is the ability to get a same-day marriage license with no waiting period or blood test required.
In addition to easy access to a marriage license, Las Vegas is an appealing wedding destination due to the wide range of venues offered. From budget, no-frill venues, to elaborate chapels, Las Vegas has something for everyone.
Here, I thought it would be fun to point out some of the most unique places to get married in Vegas, highlighting one-of-a-kind venues that can differentiate your wedding experience.
If your idea of the perfect Las Vegas wedding venue is a dull casino or off-Strip chapel, these suggestions are likely not for you.

The Mob Museum

Elvis Weddings in Vegas on the Way Out?
There is nothing more “Vegas” than a wedding hosted by an Elvis impersonator. Unfortunately, for those looking to get hitched by “The King”, this type of ceremony may not be around for long.
Recently, chapels across Las Vegas that performed Elvis weddings were sent cease and desist letters by an attorney representing a company called Authentic Brands Group.
According to an interview conducted by NPR, the terms of the letter were vague, but it sounds like weddings could potentially continue if unspecified licensing fees are paid. Only time will tell how the drama eventually unfolds.
Congrats on your upcoming wedding or proposal! Hopefully, you are able to find a unique wedding venue in Las Vegas that fits your needs!
