Wedding bells have been ringing in Las Vegas for decades and 70 years ago it was dubbed “The Wedding Capital of the World” by the London Daily Herald.
And to celebrate that title, Las Vegas is holding a 70th anniversary event in 2023. It is Sunday, Sept. 3, at Caesars Palace. Think of it as the ultimate wedding party.
Organizers expect hundreds of couples to gather for a group vow renewal during the event. The celebration is open to the public – ticket information is below – and will include activities and brunch. Since receiving the title, more than five million couples have been married in Clark County. The event benefits the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth.
“As the most iconic wedding destination in the world, the best love stories start in Las Vegas,” said Lynn Marie Goya, Clark County Clerk. “With endless possibilities, couples have been making their wedding dreams come true in Las Vegas for decades. Couples around the world are invited to celebrate their love stories with us at this wonderful 70th Anniversary Celebration.”
As part of the celebration, a vintage-Vegas style show and mass vow renewal ceremony will be broadcast around the world. The original production with theme song written by Dan Slider, “Las Vegas Will You Marry Me” will be hosted by Dennis Bono, recording artist and star of “The “Dennis Bono Show,” the weekly show which broadcasts world-wide from Michael Gaughan’s South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in the Entertainment Capital of the World, Las Vegas.
Tickets go on sale in mid-May. General admission tickets start at $70 and VIP Vow Renewal tickets will start at $170 per couple. Interested parties may register their names to the exclusive presale database by going to weddings.vegas/event.
