Typically, Las Vegas is the place for New Year’s events. The strip is packed full of people and bustling with activities, and fireworks are popping off in the sky. Every New Year’s is a spectacle that the whole watches. As the years go by, Las Vegas New Year’s celebrations became more innovative and exciting.

This year, the event expected many more visitors. Fortunately, the plans aren’t entirely canceled, and you can still tune in for some virtual feel-good New Year’s fireworks.

Virtual New Year’s Eve Show in Las Vegas
The fact that there are no New Year’s celebrations in Las Vegas is truly an anomaly. However, 2020 has been a strange year in general. Local authorities called off all New Year’s celebrations back in October, citing the pandemic’s spread as a health and safety issue. This precaution is needed.
However, that doesn’t dampen the mood of those who love to visit Las Vegas for the holidays. The president of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Steve Hill, said in a press release about the celebration:
Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas is a bucket list item and a long-held tradition.Steve Hill
Las Vegas Virtual Event
The LVCVA has decided to host a virtual celebration to uphold the tradition. The unique party hopes to remedy that by providing a little bit of entertainment.
