In the Caribbean New Years Eve, is also referred to as “Old Years Night” (check the link for more info: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art65078.asp ), I spent this Old Years Night in Las Vegas on the Strip, not in the club, but on the street with 300,000+ slick party animals. Yeah, ah cud ah (translation-I could have) tried to do it “Big Willie” style and party it up at some of the happenin’ Las Vegas night clubs such as: JET at the Mirage, Tao at the Venetian with Kim Kardashian, Ghost at the Palms, or see Jay-Z perform at the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Casino (located next to the newly opened Harrah’s mixed use development City Center).
I think most people have seen a broadcast of the ball drop in Times Square in NYC to ring in the New Year. The difference between ringing in the New Year in New York vs. Las Vegas is that in Vegas they shoot off fireworks on the rooftops of major casinos on the Strip such as: MGM Grand, Aria, Planet Hollywood, Caesars Palace, Treasure Island, The Venetian and the Stratosphere. If you are in Las Vegas and looking for a place to ring in the New Year… definitely consider the FREE fireworks display in the heart of the Vegas strip.
Its a New Year Bing, Bang, Boom!
Its 2011 Bang Bang Boom
