It's one day away from one of the most popular nights on the Las Vegas strip.
That’s right – New Year’s Eve. Where 300,000 people gather together in six square miles to ring in the New Year together.
Do you have your tickets yet?
If you’re a local – probably not. You may not even know what you’re doing yet, and might just end up playing it safe and staying home. Many who live in the valley do a New Years Eve night on the strip once or twice – and then stay far, far away for years to come until the urge for a blowout rolls around again.
We wanted to share some stories about some of the reasons we stay off the strip, and some reveling alternatives.
Here are some of the picks that made the cut:
- New Year's Eve at the Smith Center with Norm Lewis, Capathia Jenkins, Clint Holmes, Patina Miller
- New Year's Eve Camp and Hike at Valley of Fire
- Kundalini Yoga at RYK Yoga
- New Year's Eve on Fremont Street Experience
And here'ssome ideas for things to do as the new year begins.
