We can sum up New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas in one word: Crazy. And we mean crazy in a good way.

The mere concept can make one tingle with anticipation at the prospects! Carte blanche to enjoy the finest drinking, dining and dancing in the Entertainment Capital of the World with 400,000 of your closest friends and more celebrities than a year’s worth of TMZ.

No doubt about it. December is all about New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas, making it one of the most exciting times of year to be on the Strip.

The key to making New Year’s Eve 2019 – 2020 in Vegas successful is planning ahead.

Here is a list of New Year’s Eve events and celebrations happening in Las Vegas as the calendar turns from 2019 to 2020:

1. THE STRIP

The entire Strip is shut down to traffic and it becomes like one giant block party!

At midnight, the casinos launch a choreographed-fireworks display that makes the Times Square ball drop look like child’s play. Inside, Las Vegas shows rock with the hottest entertainment and nightclubs in Las Vegas are packed with celebrities and partygoers who are dressed to impress.

If you’re curious about the weather in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, expect something in the mid-50s. So, pack a sweater or a jacket just in case and check our Las Vegas weather page to stay up to date.

If you’re planning to party on the Strip, get there early, even if you’re going to attend an event or party within a casino. The www.IgnitionCasino.eu where one can go to see the various options of gambling online.

Las Vegas Boulevard will be closed between Russell and Sahara from 5 p.m. on December 31 to 4 a.m. on January 1.

Surrounding streets will be congested. You can park at most of the Strip casinos and back entrances will come in handy after the Strip is closed, including Frank Sinatra Drive to the west and Koval Lane or Paradise Road from the east. But realistically, you shouldn’t be driving at all.

If you decide to stay on the Strip, the Las Vegas Monorail will be the only motorized method of transportation operating along the Las Vegas Strip for New Year’s Eve. It will operate continuously from 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 31 through the entire New Year’s Day (Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020) and until 2 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020, for a total of 43 straight hours.

Locals can purchase $1 single-ride tickets at customer service booths located at every station (except the Las Vegas Convention Center) from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Dec. 31 with proof of Nevada I.D. For out-of-town guests, regularly priced tickets are $5 for a single ride and unlimited-ride passes are available for 24 hours, two days, three days and more beginning at $13

This is Vegas and while the sun is almost always shining during the day and the temperatures can be quite pleasant, it is still the desert and it does cool off quite a bit at night, so be prepared if you’re going to join the party outside on the Strip.

Bundle up and save your cute little black dress for the indoor parties. On the other hand, don’t forget to drink plenty of water.

Be aware that if you’re trying to get into one of the jam-packed hotels on New Year’s Eve, you could run into some technical difficulties. A number of Strip hotels, in an effort to keep the crowds inside within occupancy limits set by county officials, will allow only those with proof they are guests of the resorts to enter the properties during the height of the festivities outside.

2. HARD ROCK CAFÉ

Party like a rock star on New Year’s Eve at Hard Rock Live Las Vegas located inside Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas Strip.

TIPS FOR A FUN AND SAFE NEW YEAR’S EVE IN LAS VEGAS

Be prepared to open your wallet. New Year’s Eve is the most popular night of the year to visit Vegas.

It’s also the most expensive. Hotels can be triple or quadruple their usual costs. Covers for nightclubs start around $100 for males and go up from there, although admission may include complimentary drinks and a champagne toast.

Even Uber and Lyft rides surge to 300-400 percent their usual price. Book early. Shows, concerts and hotels will be very limited by Christmas.
Plan your evening around midnight. Find a casino, bar or club before 11 p.m. or you could get stuck waiting outside.

Be 21. While Las Vegas offers fun for the whole family, New Year’s Eve is not the time to come if you’re not of legal drinking or gambling age. Those under 21 are not allowed in gambling areas or nightclubs. Anyone under 18 is not allowed on the Strip without a parent or legal guardian after 6 p.m. You must be 21 to be a part of Fremont Street’s Downtown Countdown.

Dress appropriately. Even though Las Vegas weather will seem warm compared to where most people are traveling from, the desert gets cold and breezy at night. Short-sleeve shirts and backless dresses may seem like a good idea, but you’ll regret it later.

PROHIBITED ITEMS ON THE STRIP
Plan ahead! You don’t want to get turned away (or worse — taken to jail) because you brought something you shouldn’t to the Strip on New Year’s Eve.

Revelers on the Strip are not allowed to bring strollers, carts, luggage, coolers or backpacks, purses and any other type of bag larger than 12x6x12 inches.

Drinking is allowed, but glass or metal containers are not. Even though recreational cannabis is legal in Nevada, public consumption is not. Conceal and carry laws are complicated.

Casinos often request that firearms aren’t brought on the property. Just leave them at home. And no matter what, don’t even think about celebratory gunfire. It’s the quickest way to wind up in jail.

HAVE A FUN & SAFE NEW YEAR’S EVE!
