New Year's Eve in Vegas

[BWebb]

Has anyone done this? If so, good time or not? I was able to track down a cheap roundtrip flight ($80 total) and was thinking about getting a hotel room Friday night, late check-out Saturday, leave bags at the front desk and be out all night until the flight the next night. Good idea, bad idea?

I doubt there are any rooms left. New Year's Eve is the busiest day of the year in Las Vegas.

I did it a couple years ago. If you can't find a room on the strip, just find a smaller place near the strip. You're not gonna sleep much anyway. I stayed at an Econolodge with 7 people and we just walked to the strip on NYE. It was fun.

Just go, don't bring a bag.

No hotel NYE, just the night of the 30th. Check out NYE afternoon and no hotel for the rest of the trip.

Pretty crowded. Pools are closed. Plenty of fish. Good times.

A flight for $80? From where?
I need an airline to laugh at.

Are you [censored] kidding me? What a completely unnecesary poker reference.

I've done it and it's been fun, but I live here.

We did this last year when going to the Rose Bowl. We stayed in a strip hotel from the 27-30th. Pretty much the majority of rooms were booked, and the ones available were like $250+. Where did we stay on the 31st? Motel6. Yep, that huge Motel6 right across the street from MGM. It was actually a decent room (just small). All you need is a bed and shower anyways.

I must say it was cool watching all the midnight fireworks from the street. It hits New Years on the east coast, and it only 9pm in Vegas. Everyone seems to dress up since its New Years, and you just almost feel a buzz in everyone you saw the closer it got to midnight. Everyone I saw seemed to be in a good mood. I highly recommend it.

There are also plenty of house/condo rentals posted all over Craig's list.

Dynasty,

You are crazy. Las Vegas has an insane number of hotel rooms. A simple check on Expedia shows countless (well, not countless - 7 pages worth) options, with Strip options starting at $175/night at the Stratosphere.

Surprised at your comment,

Have you ever stayed at the Stratosphere?...It would have to improve (dramatically) to be shitehole /images/graemlins/frown.gif...They would have to pay me to stay there and even that didn't work

[Ulysses]

skipper,

Of course I've never stayed at the Stratosphere.

Well I'm still wanting to do this but my friends are being big pussies. My older friends have to check with their wives and my younger friends have to see if they can get the time off from work and afford it. I need new friends.
