Nevada has a reputation
for its libertarian laws. In 1940, with a population of just over 110,000
people, Nevada was by far the least populated state, with less than half the
population of the next least-populated state.[10] However, legalized gambling and
lenient marriage and divorce laws transformed Nevada into a major tourist
destination in the 20th century.
Las Vegas, Nevada came
to be known as the Marriage Capital of the World as a result of the ease of
acquiring a marriage license and the minimal costs involved. The city continues
to be known as a popular wedding destination for the same reasons, but also as
a result of the various types of weddings available.
