Las Vegas, Nevada

The city that parties every night throughout the year certainly knows how to throw a New Year’s Eve bash to remember. There are so many clubs, hotels, bars and casinos to choose from in Las Vegas, Nevada, that it’s almost impossible to not celebrate in style. There’s been some buzz that The Black Eyed Peas are going to perform live on New Year’s Eve at LAX Night Club!
New York, USA

Every year as the clock nears midnight on December 31st, the eyes of the world turn once more to the dazzling lights and bustling energy of Times Square. Anticipation runs high. New Year’s Eve at the symbolic center of New York City has become more than just a celebration, it’s a global tradition.
Austin, Texas
On New Year’s Eve, Austin really pulls out all the stops. This family friendly celebration of the arts takes place in the streets and at select indoor venues, offering nearly everything from dance and theater to music and food.
Niagara Falls, Canada

A New Year’s celebration in a stunning setting is what makes Niagara Falls’ New Year’s Eve bash a huge draw every year. “Party in Niagara” is organized annually by the Niagara Parks Commission.
Prague, Czech Republic

Nobody does fireworks on New Year’s Eve quite like the Czechs, so don’t be surprised when the entire city of Prague bursts into an explosion of light and color at midnight. Spend the night wandering in and out of the many pubs and cafés And if the aerial fireworks are not enough for you, you can pick up hand-held fireworks at Old Town Square and let them off along with the locals.
Paris, France

The City of Light is always spectacular in the evening, but on New Year’s Eve, Paris turns into a mass of twinkling gems. The Champs-Elysées is the place to head if you want to be at the center of the party.
Reykjavik, Iceland

Given that it’s the northernmost capital of the world, Reykjavic has a great deal of experience in figuring out how to celebrate during long, dark nights, and New Year’s Eve is no exception.
Sydney, Australia
The Sydney New Year’s Eve experience starts with Pre-Show Entertainment in the late afternoon, the 9pm Family Fireworks and plenty of surprises on the harbor in the countdown to Midnight. Make sure you get there early to see all the entertainment and to get a good vantage point for the fireworks shows later in the evening.
Barcelona, Spain
Be a part of Barcelona’s celebrations with its never-ending partying and plenty of drinking. First, indulge in a traditional New Year’s Eve dinner with family or friends. At each of the twelve strokes of midnight, be sure to eat twelve individual grapes, a symbol of good luck for the coming year.
Bangkok, Thailand
New Year’s Eve takes place not once, not twice, but three times in Thailand and its capital Bangkok does it in style. First New Year’s Eve extravaganza takes place alongside the rest of the Western World on Dec. 31.
