The Clark County Clerk’s Office will open a temporary marriage license office at McCarran International Airport in February to help couples coming to Las Vegas obtain marriage licenses faster and easier during what the office expects will be an exceptionally busy February that includes Valentine’s Day, a three-day Presidents’ Day weekend, Leap Day, and the dates 2/20/20 and 2/22/20. Businesses throughout the city are coming together to showcase the fun and excitement that comes along with getting married in Las Vegas.

Adding to the excitement, the airport office will have a special life-sized cutout of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner giving couples the chance to “celebrate” with a photo with the famous duo who were secretly married in Las Vegas back in May 2019.

Marriage License Bureau in Downtown Las Vegas
Those going through the main Marriage License Bureau will also enjoy a “selfie station” inside the bureau leading up to and for Valentine’s Day weekend from Feb. 12-16 for even more fun photo op moments.

Fun and Surprises for All
Additional businesses have come together for all couples who just need to show their marriage license or marriage certificate showcasing their February 2020 wedding to redeem: Diamond jeweler Sky Diamonds in Town Square is offering all couples a complimentary ring cleaning with one lucky couple winning a $500 gift certificate towards jewelry at the store.

All couples getting married in Clark County in February 2020 will also get to take home a souvenir ‘Married in Vegas Feb. 2020’ keepsake and auto decal to celebrate their marriage during this popular month and year.

“Las Vegas is a great place to get married,” County Clerk Lynn Goya said. “We anticipate that 2020 will be a very busy year for weddings as couples take advantage of the year 2020. This pop-up office will make it even easier for couples to get their marriage license and allow them to have more time to spend having fun.”

The temporary office will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from Feb. 13-29. This is the third consecutive year the Clerk’s Office will open a temporary Marriage License Bureau at the airport.

Couples coming to Las Vegas to get married are encouraged to fill out a marriage license pre-application, which can be found through the County website at www.ClarkCountyNV.gov.

After completing the application online, the couple will be issued a reference number that they should bring with them to the Marriage License Bureau, or the temporary office at the airport. Anyone seeking a marriage license needs to show proper identification, such as a driver’s license or passport (a complete list of allowed identification and other information is available through the Clerk’s Office web page). Marriage licenses cost $77.

Lady Rebels Looking For Season Sweep Of UNR Wednesday In Reno

UNLV WOMEN’S BASKETBALL LOOKS FOR SEASON SWEEP OF UNR WEDNESDAY IN RENO

 

Lady Rebels are currently third in the Mountain West at 8-4, one game out of second place

@UNLVLadyRebels on Twitter |  UNLV game notes (PDF)  |  UNR game notes (PDF)  |  Watch LIVE  |  Listen LIVE  |  LIVE Stats

 

Wednesday night is both the second meeting of the season between the UNLV Lady Rebels and their in-state rival UNR, and the second game in the Silver State Series, the all-sports competition between the two schools presented by IBEW and Nevada Donor Network. UNLV won the first meeting between the two in dramatic fashion, as senior LaTecia Smith sank a jumper after the buzzer for the game-winner in a 66-64 victory Jan. 22 in the Cox Pavilion. The second game will tip off at 6:30 pm in Lawlor Events Center.

 

There will be a live video stream available on the Mountain West Network, with the link also available on UNLVRebels.com. Wyatt Tomchek (play-by-play) and Mark Wasik (color analyst) will handle the radio broadcast, also on UNLVRebels.com.

 

UNLV Game Notes

♦  In addition to the rivalry, Wednesday’s game is important for both teams as UNLV looks to remain within distance of second place San Jose State, as the Spartans are 9-3 in league play while the Lady Rebels are 8-4. UNR meanwhile looks to keep moving up the standings after winning two straight on the road to improve to 5-8 in the conference.
♦  UNLV is winning off defense, as the Lady Rebels are currently first in the MW in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense and rebound margin, as well as No. 1 in the nation in three-point field goal defense at 23.1%. The Lady Rebels have never finished the season first in the MW in either scoring defense or field goal defense, and is leading the league in rebound margin for the fifth straight season.
♦  The 2019-20 UNLV Lady Rebel squad are one of the youngest and least experienced teams in the Mountain West this season after graduating four senior starters. UNLV has 10 underclassmen on this year’s squad, with seven freshmen and three sophomores, while the four-member senior class had a total of two career starts (as a Lady Rebel) entering the season.

Lady Rebels Take On Conference-Leading Fresno State Saturday In Key MW Road Game

UNLV WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TAKES ON CONFERENCE-LEADING FRESNO STATE SATURDAY IN KEY MW ROAD GAME

 

Lady Rebels looking for first win over the Bulldogs since 2017-18 season

@UNLVLadyRebels on Twitter |  UNLV game notes (PDF)  |  Watch LIVE  |  Listen LIVE  |  LIVE Stats

 

UNLV will be in the marquee game of the weekend in the Mountain West, as the third place Lady Rebels (8-3 MW) are looking to hand conference front-runner Fresno State (11-0 MW) its first MW loss of the season. The contest will tip-off at 2 pm in the Save Mart Center.

 

There will be a live video stream available on the Mountain West Network, with the link also available on UNLVRebels.com. Wyatt Tomchek (play-by-play) and Mark Wasik (color analyst) will handle the radio broadcast, also on UNLVRebels.com.

 

UNLV Game Notes

♦  Saturday is a homecoming for senior forward Rodjanae Wade, the league’s top rebounder, as she graduated from Edison High School in Fresno. Wade also ranks seventh in the nation in double-doubles with a conference-best 13.

♦  This is the second meeting of the season for the two teams, but the first game was over two months ago, as the teams played in the first conference game of the season back on Dec. 3.
♦   Fresno State held a 17-point lead in that game but UNLV rallied all the way back to close within two in the final minute before falling 72-66.
♦  UNLV was just 2-5 after that loss but have completely turned around its season over the past six weeks, having won nine of its past 11 games coming into Saturday’s game.
♦  It’s offense against defense Saturday, as Fresno State ranks first in the MW in scoring offense, scoring margin and second in field goal percentage, while UNLV is first in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense and rebound margin, as well as second in the nation in three-point field goal defense at 23.4%.
♦  The Lady Rebels’ 8-3 start to MW play has them alone in third place, one game behind San Jose State, and it’s tied for the second-best MW start in school history, along with the 2001-02 squad.
♦  The 2019-20 UNLV Lady Rebel squad are one of the youngest and least experienced teams in the Mountain West this season after graduating four senior starters. UNLV has 10 underclassmen on this year’s squad, with seven freshmen and three sophomores, while the four-member senior class had a total of two career starts (as a Lady Rebel) entering the season.
