Las Vegas Braces for Record-Breaking New Year's Eve Weddings
Unique 'specialty date' 12/31/23 expected to surpass single-day marriage record as Vegas Weddings fully booked.
- Las Vegas is expecting a record-breaking number of weddings on New Year's Eve due to the date's unique pattern of 1-2-3-1-2-3, known as a 'specialty date' in the wedding industry.
- The current single-day record for marriages in Las Vegas is 4,492, set on July 7, 2007, another 'specialty date'.
- Typically, New Year’s Eve draws between 450 to 550 couples to wed in Las Vegas, but this year is expected to far exceed that number.
- Vegas Weddings, a company that operates multiple venues, is fully booked on midnight and expects to wed more than 120 couples on New Year’s Eve.
- To accommodate the surge, a pop-up marriage license bureau has been set up at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, a first for the December holiday season.
