Las Vegas to close all-night marriage counter
There won't be any more early morning quickie marriages in Vegas. After years of sanctioning hastily made matches, the Las Vegas marriage bureau plans to close its all-night counter.
AP reports county officials approved a new 8-a.m.-to-midnight schedule, effective Wednesday, that eliminates 24-hour marriage license service on Fridays, Saturday and holidays. The counter did not offer after-midnight service Monday through Thursday.
The cost-cutting move could jeopardize Las Vegas' self-proclaimed standing as the marriage capital of the world, although it also could save the rich and spontaneous from some high-profile grief.
