Weddings have been leaving Las Vegas. In the last decade, 47,000 fewer couples tied the knot in the glittery hotels and walk-in chapels that line Las Vegas Boulevard. That’s a 37 percent drop and a loss of $1 billion annually.
LAS VEGAS — The King did it with his Priscilla.
So did Mia Farrow and Ol’ Blue Eyes; Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford; Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. Mickey Rooney did it twice, with two women.
They all got married in Las Vegas, an indulgence that has long been considered the epitome of reckless romance for both celebrities and average lovers alike.
