Star Britt, a Las Vegas resident, is planning an unusual wedding ceremony on Friday at noon where she will exchange vows with her Kawasaki Ninja 1000 motorcycle in front of the iconic "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign. The ceremony is meant to draw attention to the troubling rise in motorcycle and moped fatalities in the Las Vegas valley, with Britt displaying artwork made from crash debris and having burlesque dancers and attorneys participate in the event.

Why it matters

Motorcycle and moped fatalities have been increasing in the Las Vegas area, with a 16% rise in such deaths so far in 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Britt's theatrical wedding ceremony is an attempt to spark conversations about rider safety, helmet use, speed, and lane awareness among both riders and drivers in the community.

The details

Britt's noon wedding ceremony at the iconic Las Vegas Welcome sign will feature her Kawasaki Ninja 1000 motorcycle as the "groom." She plans to display artwork made from crash debris collected at accident scenes, and the event will include burlesque dancers and attorneys as part of the spectacle. Organizers say the goal is to deliberately blur the line between performance and advocacy in order to prompt practical discussions about improving road safety for motorcyclists.

• The wedding ceremony is scheduled for noon on Friday, February 15, 2026.
• Recent traffic data shows a 16% increase in motorcycle and moped fatalities in Las Vegas so far in 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

What they’re saying

What’s next

Local authorities have stepped up traffic enforcement at high-risk locations like Lake Mead in an effort to curb speeding and other dangerous behaviors by riders. Safety advocates say Britt's attention-grabbing stunt could help raise awareness, but long-term solutions will also require a combination of enforcement, infrastructure changes, and rider education.
