New York the new Las Vegas?


When most people think destination wedding, their thoughts turn to Las Vegas or the Caribbean.

In a bold, media-attention move, New York's newly renovated Manhattan Marriage Bureau believes the new facility will allow it to compete with Las Vegas. The vision is to become the #1 wedding destinations and nudge Vegas aside.

Can New York pull this off? New York has Broadway shows for entertainment, great food, art, music, sightseeing... but can any city compete with Las Vegas and win?
In this gamble to bring more tourist revenue into the city, the bureau renovated its 24,000 square foot facility with a focus on being wedding friendly.

All that remains to be seen is if the brides and grooms will come to New York instead of Las Vegas.
