Netherlands' Divorce Hotel Offers Whirlwind Breakups
When it comes to marriage, tying the knot has always been so much faster than untying it. A quickie wedding in Las Vegas can be over in minutes, but a divorce usually takes months or even years to finalize.
The Netherlands is hoping to change all that with the opening of the Divorce Hotel. It's a place where you check in as a legally wedded couple and check out as exes – all in the space of a weekend.
Couples who stay at the hotel are provided with bars, saunas and other amenities to ease any pre-divorce jitters. A mediator then counsels the couple on their decision before a divorce lawyer draws up the paperwork.
The Divorce Hotel is the first place in the world to offer such a quick breakup process and according to the BBC, they've been bombarded with inquiries from unhappy couples all over the world. Interested in enlisting their services? The good news (if you can call it that) is that the Dutch concept will soon be offering quickie divorces to couples in the U.S. and U.K. as well.

So wacky things like this aren't just confined to Las Vegas! I spotted the Drive Through Chapel when I was there (http://www.thetraveltart.com/las-vegas-wedding-chapels-the-drive-through-chapel/) which I thought was a bit weird. But I like the Dutch sense of humor, so this doesn't surprise me! Too funny!
