LAS VEGAS, Dec. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
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. .
