LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas — long a destination for weddings — was extra busy Sunday as couples sought a perfect 10 to tie the knot: Oct. 10, 2010.

The calendar milestone — 10-10-10 — was marked by newlyweds around the country. Some even chose to take their vows at 10 a.m.

A Las Vegas marriage license bureau extended its Sunday hours until midnight to accommodate the rush.

Some weddings were conducted in a helicopter. The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that The Rev. Jim Hamilton of Sunrise Community Church in Henderson planned to wed 30 couples at various venues Sunday — some aboard a helicopter through the buzz of a headset.

Wedding bells also were ringing in Reno on Sunday, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported.
