It’s not even Christmas and local event coordinators are planning for a big New Year’s Eve on the Strip and in downtown Las Vegas.
Beginning at midnight on New Year’s Day, thousands of shimmering lights, gold accents and criss-crossing comets set to party music will make up the eight-minute fireworks show on the Strip as part of an event that attempts to go brighter every year. This time, organizers will do that with the addition of another rooftop to the skyline: Fontainebleau Las Vegas. The property will be the ninth casino with fireworks displays, pending final approval from the Clark County Fire Department.
Las Vegas officials hope to dazzle the 356,000 expected visitors on the Strip, they said during a Thursday news conference at Fashion Show mall.
