You also won't have to deal with the notoriously bad traffic jams on the Las Vegas Strip during very busy times.įor the uninitiated, almost all the tourist attractions in Las Vegas are either on the Strip or in the downtown area. November through Christmas tends to be slow in Vegas and the smaller crowds translate into bargain hotel rates. If you are looking for a bargain, between now and the end of the year is a good time. While Las Vegas is the place to be for New Year's, the deck is stacked year-round with plenty to see and do. There are also a number of restaurants with a bird's eye view of the fireworks, but early reservations are a must. Hotels sell out early and you won't find any bargains on that night. If you are planning on being in Vegas for New Year's, make your hotel reservation now. While the big gay New Year's party, Evolve, is not happening this year, LGBTs will mix into the mainstream celebration as Las Vegas Boulevard shuts down to accommodate the overflow crowds that will pour into the street at midnight to watch the fireworks. Las Vegas just celebrated Pride last weekend and is gearing up for its biggest night of the year â€' New Year's Eve.
