Here are amazing locations you can visit on New Year’s Eve to follow midnight around the world.
Las Vegas
Even though Las Vegas is a city full of lights all year long, New Year’s Eve is when it really shines. Vehicles are prohibited from using the Strip, and pedestrians take over for a Vegas-style celebration. A spectacular display of fireworks is set off the roofs of several casinos at midnight. Get there early enough to secure a favourable vantage point.
Then there are all the shows in Vegas that you might want to see while you’re there, like The Sphere Experience or The Blue Man Group. Like lucky streaks, things aren’t always hot in Vegas. The desert cools off significantly at night, especially during the winter, so be sure to check the weather forecast and wear warm clothing.
New York City
Times Square in Manhattan is a popular location for New Year’s Eve celebrations in the United States, with the famous ball dropping on television since 1907. However, if you prefer not to join the crowd, there are other options to enjoy the festivities. Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn offers a light show instead of a fireworks show due to drought, while the Circle Line cruise offers stunning views of New York City. The New York Road Runners club also hosts its annual Midnight Run in Central Park. Other options include celebrating at the river city with a Circle Line cruise and enjoying the views.
Rio de Janeiro
Go to Rio de Janeiro if you want to start the new year with roughly 3 million other people in a cosy beach resort with a lot of Brazilian influences.
Traditionally, a range of musical acts and fireworks are featured at the main event at Copacabana Beach, which begins even before dark. Visit Jobi Bar if you want to party in the traditional Rio fashion. Since it opened in the 1950s, it has become a social institution in the city.
