Yes, it is Legal to get Married in Vegas and it is Legal Everywhere.

Marriages performed in Las Vegas, or anywhere in Nevada, are legally recognized throughout the United States under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This means all states must respect the legal acts (like marriage) that occur in other states.

Most foreign countries also recognize marriages legally performed in the U.S. However, some countries may have additional requirements for the marriage to be valid within their borders. These might involve:

  • Certified Copy of the Marriage Certificate: A formal copy showing proof of the marriage.
  • Apostille: An official certification from the Nevada Secretary of State, authenticating the document for international use.

It’s always best to consult with the embassy or consulate of your home country if you intend to get married in Las Vegas and plan on returning to your home country afterward.
