How to Party Like a VIP: New Year’s Eve in Vegas

We’re only a few days away from the new year, and TBH we don’t even know how we got here so fast (you need to calm down 2022). While many of us are still processing the last year, here we are in December, about to ring in 2023!

Whether your 2022 went by in a flash or like it was piggybacking on a turtle, we’ve reached the sparkliest time of the year—and we owe it to ourselves to celebrate it like the VIPs that we are.

For those of you who will be spending New Year’s Eve in Vegas, you’re in for a magical Yuletide season with a side serving of extra-ness! Read on to discover the best New Year’s Eve events in Las Vegas.

Thanks, 2022! We see you, 2023!

1. Glide Into a Winter Wonderland at The Ice Rink

Give us new year, but make it frozen! Nothing screams holiday season like a sleighing gliding session across smooth ice.

Ringing in the new year will hit different when you skate with your fam at The Ice Rink atop The Cosmopolitan. With a stunning view of the Strip and a front-row seat to a spectacular fireworks display, you simply cannot go wrong with this NYE activity in Vegas.

Oh, and did we mention that DJ Adam will be providing the beats while you enjoy a champagne toast at the stroke of midnight?

Sis, rooftop parties are the G.O.A.T.

2. Take It Easy at a Speakeasy

Speakeasies were born in the Prohibition Era when people would lowkey illegally sip on alcohol.

This concept has transcended time and is now one of the most interesting bucket list activities in Sin City. So, if you feel like trading in a heart-pumping, loud AF NYE party for a laidback, retro vibe gathering, Las Vegas speakeasies are a mood.

Their mysterious aura is a sure-fire VIP way to bid farewell to 2022 and welcome 2023 with a classy and sassy toast.

Ring in the new year, but do it in *secrecy*. Cue the dramatic cinematic sound effects.

3. Be On Top of the World On the High Roller

Why ring in the new year from the ground when you can welcome 2023 from 550 feet above the Strip?

The High Roller offers an aerial 360-degree view of the Neon City. Each of the 28 cabins accommodates nine guests and is equipped with live music, bubbly, and food.

For those who prefer a more low-key New Year’s Eve with their closest friends and family members, the High Roller will be your thing. And hey, who knows, you might even be at the very top when the clock strikes midnight. Now, this is what dreams are made of.

4. All Aboard the Las Vegas Monorail!

Here is another unique way to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Vegas. Like Cinderella at the royal ball, you’ll feel like a princess (or a prince) as you get dolled up in your best drip to attend this party train.

For NYE, the Las Vegas Monorail will be transformed into a party lounge and kept at a halt for visitors to soak in the beauty of the fireworks display. This lit event is highlighted by an in-house DJ, tons of food, and a magical vibe that’ll set the tone for the new year ahead.

5. Get Crunk at Hakkasan

Hakkasan Nightclub is always giving elegance and sophistication. And that’s on periodt, exclamation point.

It’s not news that this boujee nightclub rules in terms of VIP-ness, but we’re just gonna say it again for good measure. On New Year’s Eve, all signs point towards Hakkasan and its fleet of lit DJs, lavish bevvies, bussin’ menu, fab laser shows, and of course, a fantastic New Year’s Eve countdown.

Even the highkey dank decor is oh-so on-fleek, so go snap-happy, fam.

Let’s travel to the future with Hakkasan!

Be the Main Character of 2023

Our New Year’s wish for you is that you will be the master of your future, and be the main character of 2023!

After sharing a toast, a kiss, and a wish when the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve in Vegas, we’re all in for fresh adventures. Let’s glow up and high-key W the heck out of it.

May you always have something to celebrate, and when you do, the Exodus Festival will be there to clink glasses with you, all summer round!

Happy New Year, fam, and we’ll see you in 2023 once again to celebrate ten parties featuring 20 of the hottest DJs for one low price!
