It’s called America’s Party for a reason. More than 400,000 people are expected in Las Vegas over New Year’s partying on the Strip and at the Fremont Street Experience. There are elaborate special dinner menus, dressy cocktail parties and of course concerts, DJs and live performances from some of the world’s top entertainers.
And it will all culminate with a booming eight-minute Grucci fireworks show launched from the rooftops of nine Strip casino-resorts. It will be synchronized to a soundtrack that will include ZZ Top’s cover of “Viva Las Vegas” and Panic! At The Disco’s “House of Memories.”
Other events: the exterior of Sphere will present a countdown for other international cities as they welcome in 2025, starting with Sydney at 5pm, and downtown’s Fremont Street Experience will have live NYE performances from Flo Rida, Locash, Dylan Marlow, Bow Wow, Trick Daddy and Mike Jones (tickets start at $50).
Also downtown, Circa Resort & Casino will host a “Countdown in the Clouds” NYE celebration at its rooftop Legacy Club–60 stories in the air. The party (tickets start at $295) will include an open bar and champagne toast, live DJ and firework views.
Revelers can also kick off their night with live entertainment. Here’s a list of some of the biggest events.
