Downtown countdown
After your massive dose of rock ‘n’ roll, stick around to say goodbye to 2014 the Downtown way! This event will include a year-in-review to be played on the iconic Viva Vision above Fremont Street. A few words and the midnight countdown will be held by the City of Las Vegas Mayor, Carolyn G. Goodman. After the start of 2015, the event will feature an unforgettable live fireworks show which will be synched to the amazing virtual fireworks on the Viva Vision. This along with all of the other amazing attractions Fremont Street has to offer. Tickets (including admission to tributepalooza) can be purchased for $30 in advance or $40 at the door. This is the only night of the year where the Fremont Street is ticketed admission only.
Commonwealth Pity Party
Another great option for those of your seeking something out of the ordinary. One of Downtown’s favorite bars, Commonwealth, will be hosting Puddles Pity Party to ring in 2015. If you are unfamiliar with the cult comedy/lounge performer, fret not. The giant performer, who has been popular in the Atlanta entertainment scene for years, is seven-foot-tall and dressed like a clown. The “sad clown with a golden voice” gained popularity after covering a well known song by Lorde. The unpredictable show is singing, intertwined with bits of comedy and improv to keep the audience guessing. He has performed to rave reviews in Las Vegas twice before and the New Years Eve lineup will show three times throughout the night. Tickets are $20 for men, $10 for women and $50 for the all-you-can-drink pass.
