While it sounds very romantic, it might mean that your family may not be able to attend, since some may be too old to travel, some may find a destination wedding too costly and some may not have the time availability to travel for the wedding. If you are thinking of eloping...then go for it...Las Vegas can be quite captivating and would be a great place to honeymoon. There are a lot of small chapels in many hotels and on the Strip near Downtown Las Vegas. You can also have an Elvis impersonator marry you, or get married in the chapel where Elvis and Priscilla got married.

I don't think it is a good idea to get married in Vegas. I guess if you happen to meet a nice croupier at a blackjack table. I quite like Spanksy's post, and thanks to him for pointing out all the advantages. I have bolded them out above.
I wonder how many people on CC have got married in Vegas. I know of one.
"it might mean that your family may not be able to attend, since some may be too old to travel, some may find a destination wedding too costly and some may not have the time availability to travel for the wedding".. in my book these are all plusses not minuses,
........but yes I'm the type that would sneak away and elope to vegas, sounds a whole lot less stressful than a big wedding👍

But, Marc, those reasons you called "advantages" can apply to any location, can't they?
I'm talking about these:

I agree with you. I wouldn't like it either. All that noise and especially the gambling environment. I prefer focusing on the matter in hand instead of getting tempted to register in some tournament or sitting at a Blackjack table. In which case, what would the bride be doing?
If we had the resources and such a goal, then why not? It seems like a good idea. To combine our lives in such an interesting place, ... and at the same time lose the money we had saved for our own home. Perhaps it would even become a reason for further divorce.najisami said:
I don't like weddings in the city... I like country weddings! When you go into any house the next day as if you were your relatives... The next morning I ran off with my fiance to go fishing with a keg of beer... And such a range of feelings and sensations!!! That this is understood as the main thing in life!!! )
