The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to refuse to hear arguments on some states' same-sex marriage appeal cases led to same-sex marriage becoming law in number of states, including Nevada. Though many businesses in Nevada, particularly in Las Vegas, welcomed the change, some wedding chapels have decided they would not follow the law.

The Department of Justice said that federal benefits would begin applying to all married couples, regardless of sexual orientation, as of Oct. 17, according to The Associated Press.

"With their long-awaited unions, we are slowly drawing closer to full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans nationwide," Attorney General Eric Holder said a recorded statement.

Many in Nevada, especially the resorts and businesses in bustling Las Vegas, have welcomed the decision as a way of bolstering business, according to Vegas Inc.

One business, Aria's Wedding Chapel, has begun making preparations to accommodate the expected same-sex couples, promoting deals for same-sex couples that wish to marry in the chapel. The chapel's director, Colleen Kestel, also spoke about the chapel's groom and bride lounges.

"We leave it up to the couple," she told Vegas Inc. on which partner uses which room. "Whichever one prefers to play pool over having a larger mirror, we let them decide that among themselves. Sometimes -- and this goes for all wedding couples -- they'll choose to both be in the larger room because they're okay with seeing each other before the wedding."

However, small chapels are not the only ones welcoming the change. Large resorts on the Strip have also welcomed the change, offering their own deals for same-sex couples.

Yet, other Las Vegas wedding chapels have not responded well to the news. According to WKRC, some chapels have responded negatively to the news. The Elvis Wedding Chapel is one of them.

"My faith won't allow me," said Dolly Deleon, owner of the "Vegas Wedding Chapel," which also will deny services to gay couples.

However, according to the ACLU, they cannot discriminate against same-sex couples because they run a business and are not a place of worship.
