Vegas provides more than just bad odds....

Economic Downturn hits wedding business in Vegas?
 Fewer than 92,000 couples married in or around Sin City in 2010. The last time the city married fewer people, it was 1993.
 ...in 2004, when 128,250 couples tied the knot. Fewer people said "I do" in each subsequent year.
 Is it due to poor economy or decline in marriages?  How would you determine a sense of causality or at least determine the effect of poor economy vs shift in social norms?
