It’s a celebration like no other with tons of people, food, alcohol, music, dancing, and a spectacular fireworks display over The Strip.

The highlight of celebrating New Year’s Eve on The Strip is the fireworks extravaganza. The show typically lasts 10 minutes and consists of more than 80,000 fireworks explosions, choreographed to an exhilarating music mix. This year, fireworks will be shot from 8 casino rooftops, including:

The pedestrian bridges that traverse the long expanse are also great vantage points.
