With over 122,000 marriage licenses issued every year, Las Vegas has truly established itself as the "Marriage Capital of the World." This is often explained by the fact that it is so easy to get a marriage license in Las Vegas, with no waiting period and no blood test.
This reasoning, however, does not explain the growing number of couples choosing to come to Las Vegas to renew their vows. Although every couple's reasons for renewing their vows in Las Vegas is different, here are a few reasons that are common to many couples:
Every little girl has dreams of her wedding day. She visualizes her dress, her flowers, even her reception centerpieces. A renewal of vows is a way to make those dreams a reality, even if they might have been a financial impossibility for your original wedding. Because there is so much competition, Las Vegas is a very affordable place to plan and create an elaborate renewal ceremony.

Many couples may have been married traditionally, but deep down they really wanted an overweight Elvis impersonator singing "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love" or "Blue Hawaii" to cement their love for one another. There are plenty of locations that cater to the cheese-seekers, from Elvis-themed weddings and Star Trek weddings to Drive-Thru Weddings.
Chapel Recommendation: Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel
Sharing a life with someone is not always easy. Couples often choose to renew their commitment to each other after they have been married 5 or 10 or 25 years, or even after they have gone through a particularly tough time together. Renewal ceremonies can truly give new life to a relationship, and can help you to remember why you fell in love with each other in the first place.
Chapel Recommendation: Any
An increasingly popular option for couples renewing their vows is to make the renewal a celebration of the relationships surrounding the couple. They might invite parents, close friends, and children to be there as they renew not only their wedding vows, but to acknowledge the importance of good friends and family in making a marriage work.

Where in Vegas?
With literally over one hundred locations in and around Las Vegas that specialize in weddings, it can be difficult to choose a location for your renewal. The following is a brief list of some of my personal favorites:

Mandalay Bay Wedding Chapel - This chapel is also very classy, with a straight-line, post-modern feel to it.
Little White Wedding Chapel - This is the chapel with the Drive-Thru Wedding Window. If you are looking for cheesy, look here.
