Enjoy Free Fireworks

When the clock strikes midnight on December 31, the sky above the Strip will ignite with a 10-minute display of fireworks. The “America’s Party” show, choreographed to perfection, will launch from various rooftops including Aria, Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood, Resorts World, the STRAT, Treasure Island, and the Venetian.

And the best part? It won’t cost you anything to watch.

If you’d prefer to avoid the crowd and enjoy a more exclusive experience, the Strip offers several public viewing parties at rooftop nightclubs featuring popular DJs and rappers. Admission usually starts at $100 or more. Here are some of the biggest parties this year.

For a different experience, you can head to the Ice Rink on the fourth floor of the Cosmopolitan’s Boulevard Tower where $100 will get you skating and a champagne toast at midnight. For a higher vantage point, consider attending the “Party at the Top” event at the STRAT’s rooftop for $150 per person.

Indulge in a Special Dinner

Other dining options include the Eiffel Tower Restaurant or Beer Park at Paris Las Vegas, Aqua Seafood & Caviar or Bar Zazu at Resorts World, all priced around $200-$300 per person. For a more budget-friendly option, the STRAT’s rooftop restaurant, Top of the World, offers seating starting at $155.
