Las Vegas, Nevada hosting pandemic destination weddings

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a disruptive impact on social life including the decision to marry. We suggest ways of examining the impacts of pandemics on destination weddings and provide a brief example of analysis on Las Vegas wedding under Covid-19. Specifically, a Break-Point regression using data from Clark County, Nevada treated marriages as the dependent variable and shutdown dates, income, and unemployment rates as independent variables. The results show that pandemic effects on destination weddings were short-lived and thus have important implications for planning and staffing decisions.
