The Marriage Pit: In Las Vegas — the wedding capitol of the world — the business of "I do" is quite the moneymaker. Second only to gambling, tying the knot rakes in an estimated $900 million per year for Sin City. With so much at stake, and so many competing chapels, the business of luring in love birds can be cutthroat. Outside the county courthouse, handbillers representing different chapels, wait in the so called "marriage pit," bombarding newlyweds, handing out flyers, and making a pitch for couples to get married at their chapel. It can all be a lot to handle as Chris Bury reports tonight on "Nightline."
Check it out and then check out my own experience getting hitched in Sin City back on 777.
