Clark County has big plans in September to celebrate Las Vegas being known as the “Wedding Capital of the World” for the past 70 years.

The county plans to host a mass vow renewal ceremony at Caesars Palace for hundreds of couples and a vintage-Vegas style production show hosted by Dennis Bono, of “The Dennis Bono Show.” Participants will have an elaborate wedding cake by Buddy V’s Carlo’s Bakery Las Vegas, brunch-inspired fare and activities.

The event will be a partnership between the different municipal governments in Clark County and celebrates the 70th anniversary of the London Daily Herald calling Las Vegas the “wedding capital of the world,” in a Sept. 23, 1953 article.
