Candlelight Wedding Chapel (1966, restored to 1996)

This Carpenter Gothic style chapel was once in the middle of the Las Vegas Stip. By the late 1970s, it was one of sixteen wedding chapels in Las Vegas.

On Valentines Day, Saturday February 14, 1981, the Candlelight Wedding Chapel made the Los Angeles Times and national news when it hosted 150 weddings in a single day. Nobody wanted to get married on Friday the 13th, so the next day, Saturday, February 14, was very busy.

In 1987, Saturday Valentines Day, 450 weddings were performed at the chapel, a record number of weddings at a single site over a 24 hour period. That's one wedding ceremony completed every three and one half minutes.

The Chapel's final wedding ceremony was performed in 2005. The chapel was moved to the Clark County Museum in 2007, and re-opened to the public in 2009 to become on one of the museum's most popular historic buildings.
