On New Year’s Eve, Vegas is swarming with police on the lookout for drunk drivers, and they have roadblocks on all the main artery streets that lead to the Strip. If you think it’s fine to have a couple drinks and then drive to your New Year’s party, think again.
This will also give you a chance to seek out and secure the best spot you can for watching the fireworks. To avoid sitting in a traffic jam, it’s a good idea to make your way there early on (we’re talking as early as 5pm). With hundreds of thousands of people heading to the Strip on the same night, traffic gets ridiculously congested. Dress appropriately: wear a jacket, a winter hat, a scarf and gloves just to be sure you’ll be warm and cozy. The average low on New Year’s Eve is 39 degrees Fahrenheit, but it can get even colder than that. It’s Vegas, right? But late December weather in Las Vegas gets surprisingly chilly, and you don’t want that to ruin your night. We put together these quick tips so that you can have the best possible New Year’s Eve in Vegas.
