“Las Vegas is the place where you can dream and make your dreams come true,” American actor Wayne Newton once said. And, indeed, it is hard not to believe him.

A city straight out of One Thousand and One Nights, where you can dine beneath the Eiffel Tower, watch Lady Gaga take the stage just hours later, soar along Fremont Street on a zip line and end the day with a romantic gondola ride, Las Vegas is also, unmistakably, a city of love.

A must-see stop on any honeymoon across the United States, it is also the place where more weddings are celebrated than anywhere else in the world: 74,275 couples said “I do” here in 2023 alone. And you can feel it from sunrise to sunset—in the city’s iconic wedding chapels, inside the grand resorts, or against the otherworldly backdrop of the nearby desert.

And when it comes to love, Las Vegas offers even more unexpected ways to say “I do”: couples can exchange vows beneath the waves, complete with wedding dress and tuxedo, but equipped with scuba gear. Or they can embrace the adventure of a “wreck the dress” experience—literally ruining the gown—by wearing their wedding attire while hiking, climbing, or even taking the plunge from a cliff.

Whatever brings a couple to Las Vegas, there is an entire world to discover beyond the clichés, beyond the familiar imagery shaped by songs and pop culture. Look a little closer, and the city reveals its true grandeur: a place that pulses with energy, spectacle and possibility. Quite literally.

Las Vegas is the city where anything can happen. Including saying “I do.”

Every year, thousands of couples choose this iconic American city to celebrate their “I Do” in a way that is anything but ordinary. But how does it work?

Planning a wedding in Las Vegas is surprisingly simple. To obtain a marriage license, couples only need to meet a few basic requirements:

• both partners must be legally single and at least 18 years old;
• a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, is required;
• the ceremony must be officiated by an authorized celebrant;
• in addition to the officiant, one witness must be present;
• no blood test is required, and there is no waiting period: once the license has been issued, couples can say “I do” right away. The marriage license is valid for one year from the date of issue.

Romantic Experiences

Love in Las Vegas can mean an intimate dinner for two at one of the city’s most luxurious restaurants, followed by time spent unwinding at an exclusive spa; a sunrise hot-air balloon ride over the Mojave Desert, or a spin on the High Roller, the second-tallest observation wheel in the world.
And, of course, the chance to experience something truly unforgettable: getting married in Las Vegas.

Exclusive Experiences

The list of exclusive experiences is seemingly endless. Take a Maverick helicopter flight for breathtaking views of landmarks such as Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon; venture into the desert aboard a 4×4 Jeep; or kayak through the Emerald Cave.

Back in the city, step into an immersive experience at The Sphere, catch a concert by global superstars such as U2 or Beyoncé, or enjoy the timeless spectacle of Cirque du Soleil.

And last but certainly not least, there is the ultimate Las Vegas “tour”—one that requires no guide at all: a journey through the city’s legendary, larger-than-life casinos. Not to try your luck at the famous slot machines, but to wander through different cities, eras and worlds. The feeling is almost surreal: as if you were travelling to a thousand different places, without ever leaving one.

Food & nightlife

Even after dark, Las Vegas pulses with an energy that is constantly in motion. When it comes to deciding what to do in the evening, the choices are endless: even a “simple” stroll along the Las Vegas Strip becomes an immersive, all-encompassing experience of the city’s nightlife.

The evening also calls for exclusive aperitifs and unforgettable dinners. The restaurant atop the Eiffel Tower serves a selection of French dishes with a breathtaking view—ça va sans dire—over the Bellagio Fountains. At Hugo’s Cellar, in Downtown, the mood shifts to old-school Las Vegas, with classic steaks served in an atmosphere steeped in timeless glamour.
