Getting a marriage license in Las Vegas has always been a pretty easy task.  But may be no more! Currently the Clark County Marriage License Bureau is open 24/7.  But it's looking like that may soon come to an end.  No money is the culprit.....the proposed hours are from 8am until midnight daily.   Will the 70+ wedding chapels object?  So far not.  August 16th there is a public hearing we will see what happens then!  If this goes in effect it will save the county some $150,000 a year in staff and overtime fees. 

My husband and I came to Las Vegas to marry in 1964.  I don't think we ever gave it it thought that it might be open 24/7.  Who wants to be at the marriage license bureau in the middle of the night???  I can't imagine this change, if it goes in effect, will make a lot of difference to the people needing the services.
