How much will New Years in Vegas cost?
 

I'm planning on going to Vegas for New Years. How much will entertainment cost? I've got the hotel covered, I'm just wondering if it's going to be $100 cover for the bars, and $15 dollar beers. Can I get the "free alcohol if you gamble" deal on New Years Eve?

I want to party my butt off, so staying in a casino lobby is out of the question. Just looking for a couple ranges, and the insight of others who have actually been to Las Vegas.

The clubs at the offstrip casinos like the Rio were $80 cover on NYE so I assume clubs on the strip will be even more.

It's sort of like buying a boat - if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

That's what I was worried about...I can't afford a $500 night or something

Yeah, I was going to say I would expect to spend at least $1k, and I'm kind of a cheap bastard.

I was in Vegas for last New Year's. Hotel rooms were up to $800~ for the Venetian. I think Bellagio was around $500 but I really do not remember. Most decent places were $300 and up. The bars/clubs have some type of special. A few places had an open top shelf bar for a few hundred. Everything is more obviously. Vegas.com is a good place to see all the nightlife events for the night but I would try to find a better deal elsewhere. There were 3 huge firework displays at midnight that made it as bright as day. It is pretty much chaos and good luck getting a free drink at midnight. There are tons of outdoor bars set up to meet the demand of drinks. You do not have to spend a ton if you get a no frills room and stay on the street for the night.
