Las Vegas weddings: Arizona tops the list for unions

Arizonans are married in Las Vegas more than any other state other than Nevada, study finds.

Arizonans – more than any other state other than Nevada – are the most likely Americans to get married in Las Vegas, a study has found.

Nevada was excluded from the ranking, keeping the focus on couples coming from out of state.
