Las Vegas Gets Ready to Ring in 2011 – Where to Party on NYE
You’ll forgive Sin City if it’s more than ready to put 2010 in the rearview mirror and start looking forward to a better (we hope) 2011.
Las Vegas will host more than its fair share of New Year’s Eve celebrations and everyone’s invited.
Diddy will do the honors at LAX this year. We’ve got the obligatory Kardashian with Kim leading the countdown at Tao and there will be more guest host announcements as the time draws near.
The Strip fireworks show will include seven properties this year. Scope out a viewing location that allows you to any or all of the following casinos (listed from north to south): The Stratosphere, TI, the Venetian, Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, Aria and the MGM Grand.
We’ll add to the list as we go, so bookmark this page and check back often.
