Welcome to America's Party in Las Vegas!
Each year, the Strip is Closed, pedestrians only; and everyone is enjoying the Fireworks from 7 different Casino rooftops. Over 330,000 people came to party in Las Vegas last year; and local Tourism Officials say there's going to be more than that to Ring in 2018.
Over $500,000 was spent on the Fireworks last year, with the budget similar again this year.
Here are the 7 Strip Casinos with Fireworks:
Aria Resort and Casino
Caesars Palace
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino
MGM Grand Hotel and Casino
The Venetian
Treasure Island
Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower
The Fireworks will last 8 minutes and 18 seconds with over 80,000 fireworks explosions, choreographed with an exhilarating mix of music.
The Strip will be closed from Russell to Sahara beginning at 6:00 PM until well after Midnight. Casinos begin closing their doors at 11:00 PM and don't reopen again until 12:30 AM. They do this to control occupancy and maintain flow.
Downtown Las Vegas also has all their main stages open. America's Party on Fremont Street is highlighted by the Spectacular Show on the Viva Vision Canopy that covers Downtown.
Fremont Street will be closed starting at 4:00 PM, with Event Only wristband patrons admitted beginning at 6:00 PM. Las Vegas Mayor, Carolyn Goodman, will ring in 2018 Downtown.
If you're planning to be on The Strip or Downtown, plan on getting there early, dress warm; and be ready for crowds of craziness wherever you wander about in Vegas.
Have a Safe and Happy 2018 Celebration!
