No other city does New Years Eve like Las Vegas.
Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Gwen Stefani are among the superstars who will be ushering in the new year with performances at venues on the Las Vegas Strip, while more than 300,000 people are expected to gather on the world-famous corridor Monday to watch eight minutes of fireworks.
At another celebration in the downtown Fremont Street entertainment district, 12 bands will play under a massive video canopy that will show the ball drop in New Yorks Time Square.
The only thing that can top Las Vegas is Las Vegas on New Years Eve, said Jacqueline Peterson of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The city continues to evolve itself. We never run out of things to do.
Gagas New Years Eve concert at Park Theater at Park MGM casino-resort will be the third of her long-anticipated residency, which will debut Friday. Veteran Las Vegas performer Celine Dion will be at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and Maroon 5 will celebrate the holiday once again at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

*The Great Trump Shutdown.
Looks like MGM Grand owns most of the strip these days.
Vegas has always been the place where formerly great superstars go to perform.
Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Gwen Stefani are just the latest has-beens to show up.
I would not want to be any where near the Fans of those performers, much less go see the ho-hum talent. What a nightmare
Off the strip, there are several "Egg and I" restaurants where they serve these incredible egg scrambles and egg skillets. I highly recommend these. It's a great way to get your day off to a good start. Lots of eggs really put you in the mood for some gambling.
I see moron5 will be at manduh-lay bay. Has beens or never wases. Your choice.
Kind of over vegas any more. Been there enough times to know all the back streets and shortcuts got get around the strip.
Hasn't Vegas suffered enough?
They are hardly has-beens. While Gwen has been around a little longer than the others, she's still an A lister.
How many 21 year old fans does the Mor5 have anyhow?
Can’t minors attend the concerts in casinos?
Wasn’t there a curfew to keep minors off the strip after sundown?

“Wasnt there a curfew to keep minors off the strip after sundown?” Sure. And, there are NO HOOKERS allowed either. LOL!
He signed that contract to appear five times/year.
And he’ll convince his friends to do likewise.
So everybody’s happy (except Mr. Green).
I live 15 minutes away and look forward to watching on TV:)
“Will watch the fireworks from the comfort of my house”.”
Me too. I hope it warms up a little bit.
I was in Las Vegas last New Year’s Eve for my son’s wedding. I had never been there before and have no desire to go back.
If this wind dies down it’ll be ok... the fireworks show is only 8 minutes.
Anything for my Godfather.
