Fireworks ring in the New Year above the Flamingo hotel-casino in Las Vegas on Monday, Jan. 1, 2018.
Fireworks lit the New Year’s sky early Monday morning as Las Vegas welcomed 2018.
The show, which lasted about 8 minutes, went off on a clear night with no wind and great visibility.
Officials estimated that 330,000 visitors would be in Las Vegas for the holiday weekend, and the party went off without a hitch.
