Las Vegas New Year’s Eve 2022

New Year’s Eve is one of the most anticipated holidays of the year in Las Vegas, and the coming 2022 celebration will be no exception. Copious fireworks displays are kicking off at midnight from eight casino rooftops, parties with popped champagne bottles, iconic live music performances, and hotel & casino packages. Vegas pulls out all the stops for one of the best NYE experiences you can have. 

This year, the city is on pace to meet pre-pandemic tourism levels and pass 32 million visitors in 2022. Las Vegas NYE celebrations always draw massive crowds, and ringing in 2023 will be no exception. The entire four-mile Las Vegas Strip will be packed with tens of thousands of revelers who understand that this is one of the wildest and most fun NYE celebrations in the world. Plus, the trip can be done on a budget, especially if you know how to use the monorail system.

Important Things to Consider

Before you hit the town, here are a few pointers to help ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience this New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas.

Road Closures

Road closures will begin as early as 4 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and continue until 4 a.m. on New Year’s Day. With road closures in place and more than 300,000 visitors along the Strip, the Las Vegas Monorail is the best way to travel along the Strip as it is the only motorized vehicle running along the Strip during road closures on New Year’s Eve.

Plan ahead

Book spots at your chosen destinations in advance and arrive as early as possible. If you want to be at a particular place in time for the midnight fireworks, get there by 11 p.m. Otherwise, you could be stuck waiting outside when the clock strikes twelve.

Bundle up

It’s winter in the desert, and the temperatures will drop significantly once the sun goes down. Dress in warm layers – you can always shed a few at the club if they get to be too much.

Be prepared for crowds

It’s hard to wrap your head around the number of people who will be packed into the streets along the Strip and the downtown area but be forewarned that it will be exceedingly difficult to make your way around if you’re driving. The Las Vegas Monorail is here to help make travel along the Las Vegas Strip as easy as possible.
