Worth what, exactly? What kind of a wedding do you have in mind?

You can get married in a few minutes in a low-key civil ceremony in the county offices for a cost of US$60. (I mean the actual marriage ceremony takes a few minutes. In order to have the ceremony you need to apply for, and get, a marriage licence, and that's something to be sorted out before you rock up to get married.) Bring cash, they don't take credit cards.

If you want your wedding to be anything more than that, then you need to tell us something about what you want and how much you are prepared to pay for it.

I was looking online for chapels in vegas and they had some who take debit cards and we are wanting a small wedding and getting everything b4 hand and then get married and go on our honeymoon. Ive never been to vegas and I wanna gamble some and go walk the strip.

Well, the link that sawdoubters has provided has contact details for the Marriage License Bureau, which is the government office which deals with these things. You have to deal with them to get your marriage license, and you can also celebrate your marriage there for $60 cash, which is the cheapest option.

If you want a marriage ceremony that's even slightly more elaborate that the Bureau option, then you need to talk to wedding chapels. Google "Las Vegas wedding chapels" for an almost endless list. They will take debit cards and credit cards and such, but they will be charging a lot more than $60 to them.

But your main costs are going to be flights and accommodation and, of course, your honeymoon. Any travel agent can help you there. Avoid anything at all that's branded or marketed as a "wedding package" or anything of the kind; once the W-word is uttered hefty surcharges swoop down on everything like a swarm of locusts which has sighted a field of ripe corn. Just organise a flights-and-accommodation holiday in Las Vegas that suits your taste and budget, and deal separately with the Marriage License Bureau and (if desired) with the wedding chapel of your choice to line up your wedding.
