From Paris to Vegas, there’s so many places where you can enjoy the biggest fireworks display in the nation; the world is your oyster! Here are five of the best places in the world to get the upcoming year going in the right direction.

Las Vegas

This is a place I have spent at least four NYE’s! Las Vegas amid its drunks and gamblers, is one of the most fun and festive looking places to ring in the New Year. Everyone is wearing their most sequined outfit and the liquor and the 24 hours lights brings NYE to a fever pitch of excitement. The strip shuts down for cars and fills with thousands of people on-foot toasting and watching the big fireworks display that kicks off at midnight. And don’t forget, what happens there, stays there!

New York City

No matter where you have been or where you are going, everyone owes it to themselves to at least spend one New Year’s Eve in the Big Apple! The streets on this island city are crazy! Of course, making your way over to Time Square for the iconic ball dropping is a must! If you’re a little squeamish of getting trampled by the reported million or so people who do that, book a boat from New York Harbor and let the clock strike 12 with you in the water and fireworks in the sky.
