New Year's Eve in Las Vegas 2010
New Year's eve is a great time to be in Vegas. Ring out the old and ring in the new, the Las Vegas way. New Year's eve in Las Vegas is always packed on the Vegas strip and don't expect this year to be any different. The Vegas strip is closed down around 6pm.
The entire 4 miles, from Russell to Sahara, covers all hotels from Mandalay Bay at the Strip’s southern end to Stratosphere at the north.
Las Vegas New Year's Eve celebration is known as America's Party. On this night, the Vegas Strip becomes a giant pedestrian mall and everyone parties outside till midnight. Tens of thousands of visitors walk the Vegas strip decked out in silly hats, noisemakers and holiday cheer. Las Vegas New Year 2011 will include a spectacular fireworks show.
It's going to be freezing! Bundle up. It also helps to have a plan 3 or 4 hours before midnight. If you plan to celebrate indoors, remember once it hits 11:00pm all the hotels stop letting people in. They re-open their doors around 12:30am. ( To avoid crazy drunk people I guess) You don't want to find yourself stuck outside and have to use the bathroom.
Number of Days till New Year 2011:
If you don't want to spend money on hotel, food and don't like crowds, New Year's is not the time to be in Vegas. People come from all over the world for this holiday and it's as busy as it gets. Sadly everything is really expensive during this time.
Besides the Vegas strip, another great place to ring in 2010 in Las Vegas would be at the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Vegas. The New Year's Eve America's Party at Fremont Street is always a blast. This year the best of the best will be performing for 14 combined hours of live concerts on three stages. Here are a few things you should know about this event:
These will be tribute bands performing as the following artists.
It's an adult only event. You must be 21 yrs old to attend.
Admission is $10 for Nevada residents with a Nevada ID and $20 for non-residents.
Capacity is limited so plan to get there early

Las Vegas New Year's Eve 2010 survival tips
Get to the strip early, around 5 or 6 p.m. Earlier if possible because they will close the strip down around 6 p.m.
If you plan to ring in the New Year at Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas, plan to get there early.
If you drive, park your car in the hotel garage nearest to where you'll be partying and remember, you won't be able to leave until well after midnight.
If you're going to a party in a club, enjoy it for all it's worth considering what it will cost to get in. Also be aware you can step outside to watch the New Year's fireworks displays but check with the club first.
Dress warm. Las Vegas is a desert and it gets very cold at night.
Beware of the "mystery kissers", who just kiss someone at random at the New Year. They're OK and funny,
It does get crowded and very loud. Basically, it's lots of people, food, alcohol, music, dancing, drunks and 100% fun.
The Las Vegas Monorail will be the only public transportation operating on the strip. Trains will be running until 3 a.m. Jan. 1.
Don't be afraid to sip your favorite drink as you go - alcohol is allowed to be consumed on the streets for this holiday celebration.
