Just announced that the fireworks are returning to the top of the hotels along the strip this year. Last year was a disaster as they shot them from behind the hotels at street level and no one could see them. The fire department has made it a law after the fire at Monte Carlo the previous year. This year the fire department relented and now the 300,000 NYE parties along the strip will enjoy the over $500,000 spectacular fireworks show.
New Year s Eve fireworks will return to the rooftops of Las Vegas Strip hotels to ring in 2010 after ground-level displays disappointed revelers last year, Plans call for fireworks to be shot from the Stratosphere tower, the MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood, Caesars Palace, Treasure Island and Venetian hotels, and the Aria Resort Casino at MGM Mirage s CityCenter complex. Aria is set to open in December
After the fire at the Monte Carlo the rules changes so there would not be any more fires and put the fireworks on the roof of the garage and not the hotel, thus you had to be in that area. Safety first. You need to check which hotel is having fireworks and where they are located. The news just announced that the fireworks WILL return to the top of the casinos this years. YEH
