Las Vegas<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Las<\/p>\n

This year, Las Vegas<\/a> is geared up to have the biggest New Year\u2019s Eve (NYE) in the United States, probably surpassing the famous ball drop in New York. Las Vegas has its ball drop, but what happens afterwards in more interesting. The casinos on the Strip pool-in to host a fabulous firework and laser light show that sets the night sky on fire. Nearly 20 kilometres of the famous Las Vegas Strip is closed for the 500,000 spectators that flock the boulevard each year. World-renowned artists and singers perform that night at the casinos. This year Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani and Maroon 5 would be singing into 2019 with screaming fans by their side. The fireworks on the Las Vegas Strip can also be watched from the Stratosphere tower or the High Roller Ferris Wheel. The best thing about Las Vegas NYE is that even though it\u2019s a bit cold, it\u2019s not freezing like in NY.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Hong<\/p>\n

Ring the New Year gong at Hong Kong\u2019s NYE! The fireworks will not only explode over the island city but also over the harbour and at sea, every year, as the New Year celebrations continue to evolve. Victoria Harbour glistens like a gem in the night, and the LED displays flicker in the waves hitting the beach. Hong Kong<\/a> has its own NYE traditions, one of them being the \u201cShooting Stars\u201d. An hour before the clock strikes midnight, the dazzling ‘falling stars’ cross the skies over Hong Kong, giving a chance for the jubilant crowd below to make a wish. For twenty minutes the gunpowder flares and burns against the night sky synchronised perfectly with bombastic music. The display area is more than a kilometre long, along the harbour front. Head to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition centre when you are in Hong Kong on the night of the 31st of December for the best view of the fire party.<\/p>\n

Rio de Janeiro<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rio<\/p>\n

Fireworks may be the first thing on the checklist for all celebrations happening in the world, except in Rio<\/a>. When the fiesta is at its zenith, there is no reason to look up at the sky as two million people shimmering in front of you, all intoxicated with joy, dance at the Copacabana beach. All the bold and the beautiful inhabitants of Rio wear white clothes on NYE as the local tradition dictates that wearing this colour would bring good luck. The goddess of the Sea, Yemanja, is praised this day and gifts are tossed into the sea to appease her and attain her blessings. The bottles of champagne are popped open and guzzled down with friends. Some shake the bottles and spray the sweet nectar all over the cheering crowd and welcome the brand new year in their distinct fashion.<\/p>\n

\"Edinburgh\"<\/p>\n

City breaks are just fantastic. Why leave the country when one on the best and authentic New Year celebrations is happening only hours\u2019 drive from your doorstep? Get to the capital of Scotland for not one, but three nights of New Year jubilations! Last year, the New Year Party brought 150,000 people to the city. The NYE celebration as known as Hogmanay in local culture and continue with the same festive fervour for three days. As the clock ring twelve on NYE, firecrackers combust, and the light show is dictated by the bass and treble of Robert Burn\u2019s Auld Lang Syne. The procession finishes with a torch lighting parade that moves to Calton Hill where more music and beer await the audience.<\/p>\n
