Las Vegas Tells 2020 to Kiss Off
In True Vegas Fashion: Imploding a 2020 Sign to Ring in the New Year
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- New Year's Eve celebrations will look different this year, with many of Las Vegas' well-known traditions on-hold. However, Vegas will still own the title of 'America's Party' guaranteed to bring the phrase "out with the old, in with the new" to life, in real time.
On December 31, log on to www.VisitLasVegas.com – or Vegas' Facebook, and YouTube channels – for a livestream countdown to midnight for an Only Vegas celebration, complete with a live DJ and epic sights that cannot be missed. While the physical event is not open to the public, guests from around the world can celebrate virtually. Las Vegas enthusiasts can even share what they are most looking forward to in the new year for a chance to win trips to the destination in 2021.
When the countdown clock strikes zero, get ready for what Vegas is well known for: a blast. Experience a burst of color and sound as 2020 is literally blown away and 2021 is ushered in. A 2020 sign will be lit up – and then blown up – in spectacular fashion. A DJ will then begin the new year with a celebration of music when a massive LED lit 2021 sign is revealed along with an eruption of confetti, streamers and fireworks. The 12-15-minute colorful pyrotechnic spectacular is the perfect way to ring in a much-anticipated new year.
"We know that celebrating New Year's Eve in Las Vegas is a bucket list item and a long-held tradition," said Steve Hill, president/CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "Although many visitors from around the country and the world will not be able to join us in person to turn the calendar, this virtual event will allow us to share our enthusiasm and excitement with Vegas fans near and far as we look toward a brighter 2021."
No matter where they may be, visitors will still be able to celebrate safely and virtually from their own homes with hundreds of thousands of other revelers the Only Vegas way.
