"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."Michael Jordan

I'll be straight, I did the deed in Las Vegas. But, quite frankly, I don't consider myself of the shameful and despicable sort. And, I'm definitely not alone. Each year, more than 150,000 couples from all over the world travel to Las Vegas to tie the knot. Eloping to this gambling town has actually become one of the most trendy things to do and for lots of good reasons.
A Las Vegas Wedding is Hassle Free
The State of Nevada's laid-back marriage laws make it one of the easiest places in the world to obtain a marriage license and to get married. There are no blood tests required and no waiting period. Just a quick trip to the courthouse, show some identification (driver's license or passport), lay out $55 in cash and you're on your way.
What's more, planning your wedding couldn't be easier. Full-service Las Vegas wedding chapels and hotels with wedding chapels typically have a wedding coordinator ready to personally attend to your wedding arrangements right down to the last detail. Your wedding flowers, music, photography, video or any preparation of your ceremony can all be handled by phone or even online.
A Las Vegas Wedding is Cheaper
No doubt about it, a Las Vegas wedding will save you money. There are services to match just about any budget. You can have a "just do the job" wedding ceremony for as little as $100. Not a bad deal. A traditional Las Vegas wedding package for around $200 will include chapel fee, a video of the ceremony, basic flower and photo arrangements and chapel time.
On the other hand, if you want a more stylish wedding with all the bells and whistles, you can expect to pay up to a few thousand dollars depending on the package you choose. Nonetheless, compared to a do-it-yourself traditional wedding, which averages around $22,000, you've saved yourself a bundle.
A Las Vegas Wedding
Allows You Plenty of Flexibility
You don't have to lock in the church, minister or reception hall a year in advance. In Las Vegas, you can book a chapel in very short notice. In fact, in some places, you can walk in without a reservation, depending on how busy they are. I wouldn't advise this, however. Better to have a reservation and not take a gamble.
Been There, Done That
Las Vegas weddings are extremely popular with couples who have been married before. If you've already been there, done that with a big wedding, you may take great pleasure in a relaxing getaway for a comfortable, stress-free wedding.
Las Vegas Weddings Are Unique
If you choose to exchange vows in Las Vegas, you are not limited to a quickie, unfashionable affair. A Las Vegas wedding can be as stylish or as intimate as you like. If you are in the "been there, done that" category, you may want a very simple, get-to-the- nitty-gritty service. On the other hand, you may prefer something a little more romantic and traditional. It's your choice. Elvis wedding ceremonies are very popular in Las Vegas, as well as outdoor ceremonies and helicopter weddings above the Strip or to the Grand Canyon.
Honeymoon Express
Your honeymoon begins immediately after the "I do's." What could be a more unique place for a honeymoon than Las Vegas? And if you brought along a wedding party, you won't have to worry about keeping them entertained. They'll have all kinds of fun.
So, is getting married in Las Vegas tacky? If you're looking for a hassle-free, cheaper wedding with plenty of flexibility, a Las Vegas wedding could be...well, a pretty good gamble.
