On New Year’s Day, at midnight, you will see thousands of shimmering lights and comet-like displays that will make up the eight-minute fireworks show on the Strip, along with festive music, as part of an event that will be bigger and brighter than previous years.
Brought to the Strip by Las Vegas Events, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and pyrotechnic firm Fireworks by Grucci. They unveiled plans during a news conference on Thursday for “America’s Party 2023.”
“Let’s Go Big!,” is this year’s theme, and eight resorts will have fireworks launched from their rooftops: MGM Grand, Aria, Planet Hollywood Resort, Caesars Palace, Treasure Island, The Venetian, Resorts World Las Vegas, and The Strat.
According to officials from Grucci, it will take five days for 66 pyrotechnicians to install the fireworks, estimated to be more than 11,000 electrical devices, some of which have multiple pyrotechnics attached.
New this year is a personalized countdown from DJ Tiësto on Resorts World’s 100,000-square-foot LED screen. The other seven properties will display a synchronized countdown to complement Resorts World’s video.
The soundtrack for this year’s show includes traditional songs such as “Auld Lang Syne” and “Party in the U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus and on-theme songs such as “23” by Sam Hunt and “Larger Than Life” by the Backstreet Boys.
Downtown Las Vegas has its own thrilling night. The Fremont Street Experience will host its “NYE Time of Your Life Festival” with live performances on three stages from Bush, Sugar Ray, Sugarhill Gang, and others. Pre-sale tickets are available for $50. Gates open at 6 p.m. on Dec. 31.
The partygoers on Fremont Street will also be able to see the Plaza’s fireworks show at midnight. This show includes a new element, 150 drones counting down to the fireworks show and complementing the pyrotechnics.
It is usually quite cold that night, so bundle up in your warmest coat and bring a scarf.
