Las Vegas Weddings - Las Vegas Ends Late-night Wedding-license Service

Thursday, September 14 2006 at 11:53

Las Vegas bills itself as "the wedding capital of the world," but late-night revelers who decide they want to tie the knot now must wait until morning.

The county's marriage-license office, as of Wednesday, will be closed between midnight and 8 a.m., when much of Las Vegas is still very much alive.

"It's one of the things Vegas is known for -- you can gamble, get drunk and get married all in the middle of the night," said Jay DeLeon, manager of the Graceland Wedding Chapel -- where Elvis impersonators make special nuptial appearances.
