LAS VEGAS (AP) - Two years after hitting the jackpot with lucky sevens, it's all eyes on the nines in Las Vegas for 9-9-09.Wedding officials in Sin City are preparing Wednesday for one of the busiest days of the year on a quirky date to get hitched - Sept. 9, 2009, or 9-9-09.
Nine couples were to marry at the Madame Tussauds wax museum on the Las Vegas Strip at 9:09 a.m., while 99 more were waiting until 9:09 p.m. for a shared ceremony in the observation deck at the Stratosphere Tower. Each paid $99 for their wedding package.
Chapel of the Flowers spokeswoman Whitney Lloyd says the chapel booked 70 ceremonies for Wednesday, compared with 12 on Sept. 9 last year.
She said 9 a.m. wedding slots were booked at least one year ago - an eternity by Las Vegas standards.
