Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attempted the nearly impossible — reserving a table for 10 with 2 1/2 hours’ notice on NYE at a chic restaurant on the Strip, but those plans were nixed.
Over 400,000 people were expected to descend on Las Vegas to celebrate New Year’s Eve on Sunday night. Of that total, up to 30,000 of those revelers were anticipated on Fremont Street.
