Las Vegas has always been known at the Marriage Capital of the World. More than 50 wedding chapels alone dapple the city, and more than 100,000 people a year get married here. It's easy to get a marriage license here. There's no blood test required. You can get one in minutes, up to midnight. And it's only $60 for the license.

That means you can find about any type of wedding ceremony here in Las Vegas, from a $75 wedding with the Office of Civil Marriages, a Britney Spears shotgun wedding at A Little White Wedding Chapel or an extravagant splurge. This week, Racked Vegas kicks off Weddings Week, five days of all things for putting together the perfect nuptials. Look for great places to buy wedding gowns, where to get your engagement photos taken, great wedding venues in Vegas, some fun ideas for bachelorette parties and much, much more all week long. So whether you're planning to get married soon, have a friend flying in to Vegas to tie the knot or you just wake up in the middle of the night and decide to get hitched, we have you covered.
