<p>Has anyone spent New Year’s eve in Las Vegas? If so - any suggestions?</p>

<p>Never spend new years there, but just returned from a long weekend and had a blast!! And I do not gamble. At.All.</p>

<p>HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this show (le reve) at the Wynn <a href=“http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/shows/[/url]”>http://www.wynnlasvegas.com/shows/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Stayed at The Wynn. Wonderful!!!</p>

<p>We go to Vegas all the time but never on New Years. Always wanted to. Thanksgiving too (I hear it’s great for empty-nesters, great buffets and pretty empty).</p>

<p>Would love to hear from people who’ve actually been there during New Years.</p>

<p>Second the recommend for the Wynn.</p>

<p>Haven’t been at new Years but did go at Thanksgiving with my Mum one year. We were so excited about the champagne buffet on Thanksgiving day at out hotel - sounded wonderful. Then we got down there and discovered the line - rough estimate of waiting time was 3 HOURS!!!. We had a show to go to so had to settle for a very boring meal at a cafe. Hugely disappointing. :(</p>

<p>It was not empty at all.</p>

Actually, to clarify, Le Reve is not a Cirque du soleil production, but is probably similar to “O”, which I have not seen. Its at the Bellagio, IIRC.</p>

<p>Just saw Elton at Caesars Palace. Really enjoyed that as well.</p>

<p>Haha, I deleted my dissing of La Reve because I thought it was unfair. I’m just not a fan of Cirque du Soliel, although I am looking forward for the Michael Jackson show being developed at Mandalay Bay.</p>

<p>Elton was great. So was Garth Brooks. I loved O. And Mystere. Then I got bored of Cirque du Soleil, but they are all good. My favorite is Ka at MGM because it has the most story.</p>

<p>oops- didn’t see you deleted the latter part of your post :o</p>

<p>Saw The Michael Jackson show in my hometown. It was not in the intimate theaters like Vegas (ie we had nosebleed seats) but the tixs were more affordable :slight_smile: Really enjoyed that show! I do agree that there is a lot of overlap in many of the shows. </p>

<p>Elton was a lot of fun! Also enjoyed the celebrity sitings. Morgan Freeman, Jay Leno and David Spade were there. David sat right behind me (literally).</p>

<p>I spend New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas almost every year – because I live there! :)</p>

<p>Even if you’re still not sure you’re coming, book a hotel room now. They will only get more expensive as the holiday approaches, and you can always cancel if you decide not to come. </p>

<p>If you plan to ring in the new year with the crowd outside on the Strip, wear comfy shoes and a warm sweater. There is no place to sit, and it could be pretty cold.</p>

<p>If you don’t enjoy the crazy crowds, there are many more sedate options. Many restaurants have special late hours that night.</p>

<p>Swimcatsmom,
That’s terrible but good to know!
Thanks.</p>

<p>Don’t bother with a buffet unless your idea of eating well is just eating a lot. There are many many well regarded restaurants in Las Vegas. Most of their menus are available online for review. ( But make your dinner reservations now along with your hotel reservations. )</p>
