YES!! This is a stupid question that people ask...No offense to you, but I don't understand why people think that if you get married in Vegas that it's only legal in Vegas...

Hmmmm you need to take a good hard look at your man because he is either very ignorant or just plain stupid. A legal marriage in any place in this country, or the world for that matter is going to be legal in any state of the union. Last I heard Las Vegas was still a part of the USA so your marriage would be legal there or in North Carolina or in New York or any other state. Are you sure you want to marry and have children with this dimwit

If you were married by someone with the authority to do so, yes, of course, it is recognized in all states. Look at all the people that run off to Vegas to get married!
Now if you were married by an Elvis impersonator that is not an ordained minister or a Justice of the Peace, your marriage is not legal. LOL

Just FYI…”full faith and credit” does NOT require a state to recognize a marriage from another state, if that marriage is illegal under the state’s laws. For example--if a same-sex couple gets married in Massachusetts (where it’s legal) then other states are not required to recognize that marriage if their own laws prohibit same sex marriages (and most, if not all other states, have laws against it).
With that said, if you marry in NV then it’s recognized in every state as long there was nothing about it would make it illegal under another state’s law (and I wouldn’t image that would be the case).

If you get married in any city in any state/province in any country in the world, it will be recognized anywhere (assuming you have the legal paperwork).
People think it's funny that you get married in Las Vegas as a joke. Well, here are some costs:
- Marriage as a joke: $55.
- Divorce after getting sober: $780 minimum.
- Look on the person's face: Priceless...

It is a part of the US Constitution that all states are obliged to honor a legal marriage no matter what state it is held in.
When Massachusetts legalized Gay Marriage for a short time those marriages had to be honored in all 50 states; unless they had a specific law against them. That law would be likely challenged if it Gay marriage was still legal.
According to: http://www.gracelandchapel.com/html/las_vegas_marriage_license.html
"Getting married in Las Vegas could not be easier. The first thing you'll need is a marriage license from the Marriage Bureau, prior to your ceremony. The cost for the marriage license is $55 cash, and you will need one form of I.D., a driver's license, passport, or birth certificate. There are no blood tests or waiting periods. They are located at:
Las Vegas Marriage Bureau
201 Clark St.
Las Vegas, Nevada 89155-1603
Las Vegas Marriage Bureau Hours
8:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.(Midnight)
Seven Days a Week"
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution#Article_Four:_States.27_powers_and_limits
According to Article 4 of the US Constitution:
"For instance, it requires states to give "full faith and credit" to the public acts, records and court proceedings of the other states."

Off course it will....Do you really want to go Vegas to get married.???
Vegas does not have a good reputation about marriages over there...
When you tell someone you got married in Vegas, they look at you weird..I really don`t know why...
If I had a choice, I`d rather be with my family and friends.........

Yes. I have been married for 16 years. My husband and I were married in Silver Bells wedding chapel. It was me, him and 2 friends. We had our marriage license and was married by a preacher there. We live in another state and it is definitely recognized.

Yes, unless you "fled" to Vegas to avoid the marriage laws in some states - Indiana for example, does not recognize marriages that took place elsewhere if that marriage was done as a means to avoid meeting the legal requirements for the State of Indiana.

Yes...as long as the marriage license are legitimate and the person officiating is licensed and "real". By the way, Las Vegas is a city not a state. The state is Nevada, and it should say that on the license
