You can do it all at the airport: Hudson News, Cinnabon, marriage license.
Planning on getting married this Valentine’s Day? Travelers whose plans include visiting Las Vegas for their nuptials will soon have a convenient option for their wedding license.
From February 11 to February 25, Clark County will operate a pop-up Marriage License Bureau at Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport. In addition to a round on the slot machines while waiting for checked luggage to arrive, would-be wedding participants can also get a marriage license or a vow renewal certificate.
The pop-up Marriage License Bureau will be located on the first floor of baggage claim, next to the Howard W. Cannon Aviation Museum at Terminal 1. Most domestic airlines use Terminal 1 for baggage claim. Passengers with checked bags arriving on Alaska, Breeze, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Sun Country, or United will have to claim their bags at Terminal 3 first. Passengers on those airlines arriving without checked bags can follow the signs for Terminal 1 baggage claim to visit the pop-up Marriage License Bureau. Passengers arriving on international carriers must clear Customs and claim their bags at Terminal 3.
The pop-up will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, including weekends. While marriage licenses can be issued at the airport, weddings at the airport, which is also owned and operated by Clark County, are not permitted. However, there is no shortage of other venues in Las Vegas, the city that invented the drive-thru wedding.
Couples wanting to wed in Las Vegas must get a license from the Clark County Clerk (Marriage License Bureaus are staffed by deputy clerks). Nevada has long been notorious for “quickie” weddings because it was one of the first states to significantly reduce most barriers to marriage in the 1930s, at a time when many states had requirements for blood tests and waiting periods. In Nevada, weddings must be performed by an officiant licensed by the state, and a witness is required.
