Nevada’s lax marriage and divorce laws have made for memorable hookups, breakups and romantic shake-ups
In 1931, in the throes of the Great Depression, the Nevada Legislature staked our state’s future on sin — divorce, gambling, easy marriage — as a way to draw tourists and their dollars. It was a bold move. Back then, divorce was scandalous — and strenuous. Most states had long waiting periods and a short list of grounds for granting a divorce, such as proven adultery.
Enter Nevada, which enabled a six-week waiting period and allowed vague grounds for dissolving unions, such as “mental cruelty.” This opened the floodgates for the unhappily married to flock to Nevada — who brought more than their share of high-profile splits that have been enshrined in Las Vegas lore. Among them:

LAS VEGAS – To stay at the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino is to travel back in time.
In a city known to implode the old in spectacular fashion to make way for the new, this downtown property is celebrating a rare milestone – its 115th birthday.
Opened in 1906, the hotel-casino was the first to welcome guests to the famed Fremont Street corridor. Its address tells that precise story: 1 Fremont Street.
Step inside the hotel-casino, and you’ll find other relics that were also firsts in Las Vegas history. Behind glass in the hotel lobby is a replica of the first telephone installed in Las Vegas. The number? “Ring 1.”
