Las Vegas - Event

Make no mistake, Sin City really knows how to let its hair down. Come to one of Las Vegas' outrageously showy New Year bashes and you'll see people partying as if the end of the world was nigh.

The Vegas Strip is closed to traffic for the night, allowing outdoor revellers to party the night away. Thousands of people celebrate the coming of the new year, fireworks spraying overhead.

There's only one surefire way to avoid the crowds - beat a retreat to the VIP area of a glam nightclub for table service, flowing champagne and a celebrity host leading the midnight countdown. Depending on the ticket price, this could be an A-lister such as Mariah Carey or the reality TV personality du jour.
