Las Vegas can rightly claim to be the Wedding Capital of the World. Sin City is known for weddings of all descriptions—from quick and hassle-free to over-the-top indulgence.

Halloween weddings are on the rise in this city of lights – and shadows. The Wedding Capital of the World caters to couples enchanted by dark themes. Check out some of the options:   Las Vegas Weddings features a "'Til Death Do Us Part" package at Nelson Ghost Town—a real Old West ghost town at Southern Nevada's most famous gold mine. The rustic spot features a large barn, where ghostly figures have been seen lurking. The special package includes an officiant and photographer attired all in black; 200-plus photos; special Halloween-themed ceremony, music, and the use of a coffin ring-bearer wedding box.   At The Little Vegas Chapel, the "Love at First Bite" package offered exclusively on Halloween includes a choice of officiants, including Elvira, the Corpse Bride, Darth Vader or a Vampire, as well as Halloween-themed florals, music, roundtrip limousine, photography and cake.   Sure Thing Chapel features After Dark packages that include Hellvis—Elvis' evil twin, a blood-themed spooky burlesque show and Wine Hearse for photo ops. Happy couples and guests can even sip champagne served out of a hearse carrying a coffin.   With more than five million "I do's" and counting, each year Las Vegas conducts more destination weddings than any other place on earth. For well over 70 years, a "Vegas wedding" has been the ultimate quick, stress-free, fun, glamorous wedding option.

A new Las Vegas hotel is looking to attract a very different type of high roller. The current Artisan Hotel is being rebranded to become a pot-friendly hotel. The property becomes The Lexi Hotel. Some of the 64 rooms will be pot-friendly and the hotel also plans to house a pot lounge. "One of our goals is to de-stigmatize the use of cannabis in the proper areas,” said Alex Rizk, CEO of owner Elevation Hotels. The hotel still has to be assessed by the Nevada Canabis Compliance Board. The Lexi will also feature a members only lounge, chapel and event space. There will be a café, a Cajun-inspired steakhouse, a pool and live music programing.

The last four months have record volumes at the airport volumes, with most international flights tourism returning, which is highly welcomed by a community where 30-35% of all employment is tied to tourism. The rebranding as 'The Greatest Arena on Earth', goes along for a city with 150,000 hotel rooms, where a new Madison Square Garden Arena is opening; a new 700-room Fountainblue Hotel adjacent to Resort World; F1 races slated for November 2023 as a night race; NFL Super Bowl in 2024.
