Las Vegas will be pulling out all the stops with the upcoming new year’s celebrations. Aptly labeled America’s party, the events will include all of the strip and the downtown Fremont Experience. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has assured us the place to be to ring in the New Year is Las Vegas.
Fireworks by Grucci is planning the largest New Year’s pyrotechnics show in the country that will last over eight minutes while more than thirty thousand fireworks bomtavernd the Las Vegas strip and downtown Fremont Experience.
Downtown’s Fremont Experience is hosting a TributePalooza with eight of the world’s best tribute bands. Non-stop live music from two stages will give revelers seven hours of rock, and as stated there will be a fireworks show under the light canopy.
Extreme motorcycle daredevils are a major part of this year’s party with two major jumps planned for the Paris and Mirage resorts on the Las Vegas strip, but don’t forget about the two wheeled crazies downtown, Guinness World Record Holders Bela Tabak’s Riders of the Thunderdome perform in the Globe of Death. There will also be an off-road truck attempting to do the first ever backflip.
And the really good news? Admission is free to the Las Vegas strip. Fremont Street Experience downtown is free to Las Vegas residents with ID but capacity is limited. Guess the city brain trust finally figured out the residents of Las Vegas that once owned Fremont Street before the city gave it away didn’t much like paying fifty bucks to visit their One-time property. Out-of-town guests will be required to fork over twenty bucks for entry. Of course, you must be twenty-one to gain entry to the party. Gates open at 6 PM New Year’s Eve.
