My buddy emailed me to see if I wanted to go to Vegas for New Year. He said he was going to Fremont street, which I thought might not be as fun as the main drag, but I couldn't have been more wrong.
There is a $40.00 wristband charge to be on the main drag for this night but after seeing what they put out there, a very nominal charge in the grand scheme.
There were stages set up through the street and the first band I missed - Lover boy. I'm sure I would have laughed and had fun but I was busy drinking and making my way to the main stage to ring in the new year with Blues Travelers....Great Show as always. After the new year hit, we walked over to the other stage to see Vince Neil. I've never seen him before but with a small crowd he was pretty damn fun. This was followed by Papa Roach, who I missed. we opted to go into one of the bars to see a 50's rockabilly band with an Elvis impersonator.
Considering there were I believe 10 bands, fireworks and lots of people watching it is a really great way to ring in the new year.
