 New
Year's Eve for Kids in Las Vegas
Las Vegas is known the world over
as the ultimate party city, and the festivities on New Year's Eve deliver!
You pretty much have two choices for a true party crowd - The Strip or Downtown.
Or, you can book one of the many big-name concerts that roll into town, or just
watch it all from the comfort of your room on TV.
Every year the Strip is closed to traffic from Russell Road all the way down to
Sahara Ave. Basically, from Mandalay Bay to the Sahara. And Las Vegas
Boulevard becomes one huge, continuous party floor. This party is not for
the faint at heart, though. There is music blaring, voices raised in celebration,
and an undulating mass of bodies that knows nothing of "personal space." The
casinos pull out all the stops too. They often set up vendor booths on the
street, so access to drinks and food is plentiful. There is no charge to party
on the Strip, but be forewarned, however, that unless you are a guest at one of
the hotel-casinos, you may not be allowed inside.
Another warning, if you park somewhere on the strip, you
will not be allowed to leave until they open up the street again, which is somewhere
around 1:00am if all goes well. So, is it worth it? Well, yes, if you
like to be in the middle of all the action! And if you want a front-row seat
to one of the best firework shows in the nation!
As midnight hits, the casinos choreograph a pyrotechno show that has to be seen
to be believed! Colors bloom in the sky simultaneously, in an exotic dance
of sparks and lights. You won't know where to look next! Your neck will
be sore from looking up, but it is well worth it!
