24/7 marriage licenses no more

Say you're in Las Vegas, it's 3:30 a.m., you're drunk, and you just met someone with whom you whimsically want to tie the knot at a nearby 24/7 chapel. If this happens tonight, congratulations! If it happens next week, too bad.

Right on. I'm glad to see that this behavior and wasteful use of money are not continuing. It is kind of
like endorsing Animal House frat parties because they
are cute and funny in Hollywood movies.

If people want to waste their time on stupid false weddings, who am I to stand in their way? This should be legal, and laughed at.

Also, without drunken late night weddings, America would never have had the collective moment of thinking that Britney Spears had married George from Seinfeld (which I still consider to be one of the best moments in modern American history).

although it's nice to see them trimming the budget on superfluous shit, $200,000 isn't all that much compared with the continuity of a hallowed Vegas tradition (as ingen has noted). why does 16 shift hours per week cost that much per year anyway?

this significantly reduces my chances of marriage in the next two years.

if it weren't for late-night vegas marriage, my girlfriend's sister wouldn't be married, and i wouldn't have eaten all that shrimp at the awkward party 3 months later.

I stand by my point. It's time for more creativity anyhow.

this is weird. if they were imposing restrictions on these kind of weddings because of some kind of moral judgement, i'd be annoyed. but since they're chalking it up to budget cuts, i'm not annoyed. go figure.
