It's not so little, actually: there are five chapels at this Vegas classic, where Frank Sinatra married Mia Farrow in 1966. The drive-through Tunnel of Love was designed for those with physical handicaps who perhaps found it difficult to leave their vehicles, but it's now popular with anyone after a quickie wedding in true only-in-Vegas style.

I SO disagree about the "depressing" comment! My husband and I were married here in Nov. 2010 and were very surprised at how positive and wonderful the experience was! We expected it to be sort of silly, but we had a full family Catholic wedding planned for a year later and were fine with whatever it was. The minister was perfect, could not have been better if her knew us well. Instead of "silly" Our wedding could not have been more personal, romantic and exactly right for us. We went in with zero expectations and both ended up saying our vows with tears. The atmosphere was upbeat and the other couples present were a fun young couple (bride in white leather mini-skirt!) with a lot of friends and a couple who were married there 25 years ago and had returned to renew their vows with their teenage daughters. Even the desk staff was fun to talk to.
Very disappointing experience. We joined our friends who went to Vegas to renew their wedding vows. We expected it to be fun, cheesy and kitschy and we were open to have a lighthearted fun time. The event began with a limo ride from the hotel, a limo with no AC. We were sweltering by the time we got there. Sure some famous people were married there years ago, but the place makes very little effort to make things light hearted and fun. Place looked and felt like a mortuary going in. It would take so little effort to lighten the mood up with some friendly banter and showmanship, but even smiles were hard to come by. The minister did make an effort to be friendly and did a nice job, but overall the place was depressing. I was very disappointed for my friends.
