In Las Vegas, marriage capitol of the World, people get married every day, but when numbers on a date are strangely unique, like 10-10-10 last year, there is always a larger amount of people getting married.
On News Years Day, 1-1-11, there will be an unusually high number people getting married. But because of budget cuts, you will need to get your marriage license early or prepare to stand in line.
From The Clark County Marriage License Bureau: Our Laughlin and Mesquite offices will be closed on Friday, December 24 and Saturday, December 25, 2010 for the Christmas holiday.
Our Laughlin and Mesquite offices will be closed on Friday, December 31, 2010 and Saturday, January 1, 2011 for the New Years holiday.
Our Henderson office will be closed on Thursday, December 30, 2010. The office will reopen on January 6, 2010.
We expect to be busier than usual at the Marriage License Bureau for New Year's Day, 1-1-11. To expedite your marriage application process, we strongly encourage you to use the online Pre-Application for a Marriage License. The link is listed below. When you complete the application online, you will be issued a reference number. Bring that reference number to a designated window in the Marriage License Bureau for faster service.

If you plan on getting married in a wedding chapel, make reservations now. Some chapels will do up to 100 weddings on the first.
So, if you plan on getting married on the 1st and don't have plans yet, you better start making them very soon.
Of course, you can wait for 1-11-11 or 11-11-11.
Spur of the moment weddings may have to wait an extra day. Not knowing who the bride will be on Jan. 1st, may not be a good idea to get married. (and yes, that does happen)
The Las Vegas Badger is about politics, humor, sports, reality shows in Las Vegas, especially Pawn Stars and anything else interesting. While I live in Las Vegas, my heart is still in Wisconsin. Thanks for visiting the blog and feel free to browse the web site.
Interesting fact. If you're a dude who's been partying at one of Las Vegas' primo clubs, and hook up with a hottie chick, you two can get married on 1-11-11, even if you just met yesterday (as long as you manage to get the paperwork squared away). But if you're a guy who's been with ANOTHER guy for a year, ten years or twenty years, no such luck. Sanctity of marriage, and all that. Just sayin'. . .
