A Las Vegas NV Wedding

According to www.frommers.com, there are many reasons to consider a Las Vegas NV wedding. First of all, it's the only place you can get married by Elvis at a drive-up window in a pink Cadillac, 24 hours/day. Additionally, you can find wedding buffets for as low as 99 cents/person, the bachelor parties are always spectacular and the honeymoons are equally memorable. Las Vegas Nevada is the easiest place to get married and, in fact, more than 100,000 couples take the plunge in "sin city" each year.
