One of the great reasons to visit Las Vegas for New Years is the Las Vegas New Year’s Eve Fireworks. Unlike anywhere else that I know of, Las Vegas has an awesome fireworks display that you are sure to remember. They shoot off fireworks from the roof tops of several different “Strip” hotel casinos with a major part of the Las Vegas Strip closed off and over 200,000 people on or around the Strip. This year fireworks will be shot off the roofs of the Tropicana, MGM Grand, Aria, Planet Hollywood, Caesars Palace, Treasure Island, Venetian, and Stratosphere. Whether you’ve been to Las Vegas for New Year’s Eve in the recent past or not, you might want to check out the following YouTube video that deals mostly last year’s fireworks.

I think that the Las Vegas New Year’s Eve Fireworks is something you should see at least once in your life. If you have plans to go or didn’t have plans to go this year but changed your mind and would like to go and you don’t have a room and/or flight reserved, you can use either the “Click for up to $525 off Air + Hotel Packages” or “Click for up to 70% off Hotel Reservations” underlined links below to get reservations. You should know that because hotel occupancy is so high for New Years that some hotels are not available or require more than a 1 or 2 or 3 night stay and prices are usually high (some are very high) but then again so is the amount of fun you’ll probably have. Enjoy!

Because last Tuesday’s holiday attractions posting included a free Holiday Cactus Garden tour, I thought it would be a good time to talk about the relatively little know free self guided Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Garden Tours that are open seven days a week. The factory is located at: One Sunset Way, Henderson, NV 89014 and the Cactus Garden, which has over 300 species of plants, is located adjacent to the factory. Get more info at http://ethelm.com/about_us/factory_tour.aspx and/or http://ethelm.com/about_us/cactus_garden.aspx. It’s free so why not check it out sometime?

Here’s some of the news relevant to or about Las Vegas Nevada that came out during the last week:

Dec. 05, 2011 Today is the 78th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition.

                     A new movie set in Las Vegas is reportedly in the works. It will star Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell as rival magicians. Advance crews were spotted around town over the weekend.

Dec. 06, 2011 Mayor Carolyn Goodman lit the Las Vegas’ official Christmas tree in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street at about 5 pm.

                      World Series of Poker (WSOP) officials announced that 22 players have committed to putting up $1 million each to play in what they expect to be the biggest poker tournament ever. It’s not really a $22 million pot yet because 11% is being taken out for charity. If seven more players enter, the first prize will surpass the $12 million Jamie Gold won as the champion of the WSOP Main Event in 2006.

Dec. 07, 2011 Comedy hypnotist Marc Savard signed a three-year contract extension with the V Theater which is located inside Miracle Mile Shops at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino

Dec. 08, 2011 It was announced that following the death of driver Dan Wheldon during the Oct. 16 season finale, the IndyCar Series will not return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway next season. The future of the event at the track is in part dependent on the results of the investigation into Wheldon’s fatal accident.

Dec. 09, 2011 Las Vegas casinos collected $560.5 million from customers, a 13.3% increase compared with $494.8 million collected in the same month last year.

                     Las Vegas officials announced that city offices are going to be closed from the Friday before Christmas (12/23/11) until the Tuesday after New Year’s 01/03/12) in recognition of a traditionally slow business period between the holidays and as a cost cutting measure.

Dec. 10, 2011 October’s Las Vegas visitor count (the 20th consecutive monthly gain over the prior year comparison) was up 2.7% from October 2010.

                     It was reported that Clark County businesses received $37.8 million in Small Business Administration 504 real estate financing in 2011.

Dec. 11, 2011 Hardly big news but the cocktail waitresses at the Palms have donned their holiday uniforms. As they have for the past several years, the waitresses are all sporting Santa-style outfits.

Wondering what holiday attractions and things to do (both free and fee based) there are in the Las Vegas area? The list includes Santa Claus, displays, shows, glittering lights, ice skating, a holiday cactus garden plus much more. The best holiday resource I’ve found that gives a great idea of what visitors and locals can see and do over the next few weeks can be found at http://www.lvrj.com/living/holiday-attractions-feature-lights-snow-santa-134553728.html. Room rates are generally good for the time period leading up to Christmas so why not visit Vegas soon?

Here’s some of the news relevant to or about Las Vegas Nevada that came out during the last week:

Nov. 28, 2011 The empty land on the Strip that once was the site of the New Frontier will remain empty at least for the foreseeable future. The Israeli company that bought the 36-acre site in May 2007 for more than $1.24 billion has written off $500 million of the investment.

Nov. 29, 2011 Vegas! The Show, which performs in the Saxe Theater in the Miracle Mile Shops, has been nominated for four Broadway.com awards in the "Vegas" category, including Best Lead Actor and Actress.

                     The Hooters hotel casino is scheduled to be sold today at auction under a deal disclosed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Nov. 30, 2011 Cantor Gaming continues to build its position in Las Vegas with the announcement that it will take over the sports book operations at the Palms. The acquisition now gives Cantor control of the sports books at seven Las Vegas casinos.

                      Italian restaurant franchise Buca di Beppo is expanding to the Las Vegas Strip and hiring 75 workers for its restaurant at the Excalibur. The restaurant is scheduled to open Dec. 23 in the space formerly occupied by Regale Ristorante Italiano.

                     It was reported today by the Center for Business and Economic Research that the Southern Nevada Index of Leading Economic Indicators was essentially unchanged in Nov. at 123.44, barely up from 123.39 in Oct..

                     Las Vegas based housing research firm SalesTraq reported a median existing-home price of $104,900 in September, a decrease of 10.9 percent from the same month a year ago. It was, however, up from $103,500 in August with the median price remaining unchanged in October.

Dec. 01, 2011 One of the last mega-projects to be announced before the economic downturn is officially toast. Elad Group, which purchased the 36-acre site where the New Frontier used to be to build a $5.4 billion Plaza Hotel complex, has announced that the project will not go forward.

                     A new report confirms there’s a slight improvement in the Las Vegas job market. In spite of the slight improvement, the unemployment rate in the Las Vegas metro area ranks among the nation’s highest at 13.1%.

                     The Las Vegas Monorail Co. celebrated its 50 millionth rider today.

Dec. 02, 2011 It was announced that 2 Las Vegas area shopping centers have been sold. The 1st is the 4G, a neighborhood shopping center at 4215-4275 E. Charleston Boulevard, at Lamb Boulevard, which was purchased by Primestor Development Inc. of Los Angeles. The 2nd is the Anthem Highlands Shopping Center in Henderson that was purchased by the Excel Trust of San Diego.

                     An agreement was announced today to sell the financially troubled Nevada Cancer Institute to the University of California, San Diego Health System.

Dec. 03, 2011 Apparently Steve Wynn, one of Vegas’ most successful casino owners and operators, is in negotiations with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft to build a $1 billion casino adjacent to Gillette Stadium.

Dec. 04, 2011 The full Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon was run today starting about 4 pm from Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel and Casino and the half-marathon started at about 5:30 pm from the same location. More than 44,000 runners were expected to take part.
