The
countdown is on. 2015 is right around the corner and in the Entertainment
Capital of the World, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate. While Las Vegas
has all the usual NYE suspects, why not consider some new ways to bring in the
New Year, like eating 23-karat gold flecked lasagna or kicking off 2015 with
Justin Timberlake?
So,
how should you celebrate New Year’s Eve in Sin City? Here are 10 ideas:
10. Taste the decadence. Say adieu to 2014 at The
Mirage with Portofino’s White Diamond truffle and 23-karat gold flaked lasagna.
The $100 “Diamond and Gold” Lasagna tantalizes taste buds with layers of pasta
stuffed with porcini mushrooms, Iberico ham, Prosciutto di Parma, 24-month-aged
Parmigiano-Reggiano, buffalo mozzarella and Kobe Bolognese. This luxurious
creation is finished with foie gras-infused Alfredo sauce.
9. Dance the year away. If confetti blasts
and partying like a rock star are more your style, check out the top headliners
at the finest nightclubs in the world. Calvin Harris with Eva Shaw & Burns
will headline a special New Year’s Eve set at Hakkasan at MGM Grand. Alesso
will drop beats at LIGHT at Mandalay Bay and The Bank at Bellagio will feature
an exclusive live performance by Trey Songz.
8. Party with Macklemore. If you’re donning
your latest thrift shop finds this New Year’s Eve, 1OAK at The Mirage is the
place to be, as Grammy Award-winning hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis take
the stage to perform hits like “Thrift Shop” and “Same Love.”
7. Go out with a bang. Fireworks light up the
sky along Las Vegas Boulevard at midnight so it’s crucial to find a good
vantage point well ahead of time. miX Lounge at Delano Las Vegas boasts an
outdoor patio and floor-to-ceiling windows facing The Strip. You won’t miss a
single burst with this epic view. www.delanolasvegas.com/dining/mix-lounge.aspx
6. Catch the water works. Water and fire
usually don’t play well together, but on New Year’s Eve on The Strip, it might
be the best mash-up yet! Using dramatic music, water and light, The Fountains
of Bellagio soar up to 460 feet in beautifully choreographed synchronization.
With the glimmering fireworks in the background and the waterworks right in
front of you, the combination makes for one stunning sight!
5. Pig out. Steak is so 2014; celebrate the
start of 2015 at Monte Carlo’s Yusho with a whole pig’s head. Cooked for a full
24 hours and served with a plethora of Japanese fixings like stuffed buns,
cabbage kimchi and bowls of ramen, this will be a New Year’s Eve dinner you
won’t soon forget. Just be sure to order at least a full day in advance.
4. Paint the town gold. Mandalay Bay Resort
and Casino will transform into a golden wonderland, complete with elaborate gold-themed
accents, lavish culinary selections, incredible cocktails and more. The
masquerade-style affair encourages guests to welcome 2015 in an exuberant
environment. The party continues with chart-toppers Maroon 5 as they take over
the Mandalay Bay Events Center for two special performances December 30 and 31.
3. Beef up your new year. Ring in the New
Year with the most indulgent burger experience on The Strip – the legendary
FleurBurger 5000 from celebrated chef Hubert Keller of Fleur at Mandalay Bay.
The foie gras and black truffle-topped Kobe burger is accompanied by a bottle
of Chateau Petrus 1995 poured in Ichendorf Brunello stemware, imported from
Italy. After the meal, Fleur will ship the glasses to your home along with a
personal note from Chef Keller. All this decadence for the price of $5,000!
2. Cure your hangover. Hangovers are all too
common come New Year’s Day. Luckily, Vegas has as many hangover cures as ways
to incur said hangover. Developed by a group of experienced emergency room
physicians, REVIV, located at The Underground at MGM Grand, features a wide
range of intravenous and vitamin therapies to combat hangovers including three
different types of IV therapies. If the “hair of the dog” cure is more your
style, check out the Instagram-worthy Bloody Mary at Todd English P.U.B. inside
The Shops at Crystals, where a cart is rolled tableside and guests select from
an insane amount of garnishes including a bacon cheeseburger slider, a chicken
wing, shrimp and a mini corn dog.
1. Put on your suit and tie. In Vegas, the
party doesn’t end at the stroke of midnight. This year, continue your
celebration of a fresh start, a new year and a new day with none other than
Justin Timberlake, who will close out his 20/20 Experience World Tour January 1
and 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. www.mgmgrand.com/entertainment/grand-garden-arena.aspx
