Fireworks, parties and special performances highlight New Year’s Eve
December 28, 2010 - 1:47 pm
You won’t be lonesome watching TV on New Year’s this year if your TV set is The Cosmopolitan’s digital marquee.
Instead of making the night’s biggest show a "haves" vs. "have nots" thing, the new hotel will broadcast its golden-ticket ballroom concert of Coldplay and Jay-Z — performing separately and together — to the throngs on the Strip awaiting the annual fireworks.
Those fireworks go off as an eight-minute midnight show launched from seven casino rooftops: MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood Resort, Aria, Caesars Palace, The Venetian, Treasure Island and Stratosphere.
Downtown has its own party, the Fremont Street "Tribute Palooza," with fireworks both real and "virtual" and songs from tribute bands such as Fan Halen and the Red Not Chili Peppers (they stick around the rest of the weekend if you’re booked Friday).
The party starts early in Mandalay Bay’s pool area and outdoor beach stage. Fox Network’s New Year’s eve show starts at 8 p.m. to be live on the East Coast. You can line up at 6 p.m. to get in free for the show with performances by Plain White Ts, David Archuleta, Travie McCoy and Jabbawockeez.
Las Vegas police said the Strip will be closed to vehicular traffic at 6:30 p.m. New Year’s Eve between Sahara Avenue and Russell Road. It will reopen early Saturday after revelers clear the roadway.
