Beyond the Strip
Nelson Ghost Town & Desert Weddings
Nelson Ghost Town sits in Eldorado Canyon, about 45 minutes southeast of the Strip. Its weathered wooden chapel has stained-glass windows and a steeple against the canyon walls, and the old mining town around it is full of classic cars, rusted trucks, and desert roads for photos.
Las Vegas Wedding Chapel runs Nelson Ghost Town ceremonies from $850, for just the two of you or up to 100 guests. The same Clark County marriage license covers it.
- Valley of Fire — red sandstone, from $900
- Eldorado Dry Lakebed — open desert, from $1,499 for up to 10 guests
- Helicopter weddings — over the Strip from $1,499, or Valley of Fire from $3,999

Common Questions
How do I get a marriage license in Las Vegas?
Visit the Clark County Marriage License Bureau in downtown Las Vegas. Both parties must appear in person with a valid government-issued photo ID. No waiting period, blood test, or Nevada residency is required. Licenses are issued same-day and are valid for one year. Cost: $102.
How much does a Las Vegas wedding cost?
The marriage license costs $102. Simple chapel ceremonies start around $100–$300 all-in. Full packages with flowers, photography, video, and a minister typically range from $500 to $2,000+. LVWC.com offers packages at multiple price points to suit every budget.
Can we get married the same day we arrive?
Yes. Nevada has zero waiting period. Get your license in the morning, walk into a chapel in the afternoon. Las Vegas Wedding Chapel accommodates same-day and walk-in ceremonies — it's one of the reasons couples fly in from around the world specifically for this.
Is a Las Vegas marriage legally valid?
Absolutely. A Nevada marriage license is a legal government document, recognized in all 50 U.S. states and most countries worldwide. Your marriage certificate is issued by Clark County, Nevada — the same as any other legal marriage.

Las Vegas Wedding Chapel holds ceremonies at the vintage chapel in Nelson Ghost Town, about 45 minutes southeast of the Strip in Eldorado Canyon, starting at $850 for just the couple or up to 100 guests.
