Here we go again! It’s hard to believe 2019 is almost over, and 2020 is already upon us. So if you haven’t decided on what to do for New Year’s yet, there’s no better place to celebrate than in the city of Las Vegas. And no better way to ring in 2020 than at a Vegas nightclub. The energy is intense, the clubs are packed, and you’re sure to find someone to share in that midnight kiss (if you’re not already coupled up). But navigating the Vegas club scene can be rough on New Year’s, so we had to create a Las Vegas Clubs New Year’s Eve guide just for you!

In this guide, you’ll learn:
- How to get inside a Vegas nightclub on New Year’s night

- Our club picks for bottle service on a budget
- The clubs that offer a prime viewing location of the fireworks show
- Our tips for a stress-free New Year’s Eve clubbing experience
Getting Inside A Club
On New Year’s Eve, there are only two ways to get inside a Las Vegas nightclub – buy tickets or purchase bottle service. Unlike most other nights in Vegas, there won’t be any guest list reservations as this is one of the busiest days of the year.
Tickets
Unless you’re purchasing bottle service, you’ll need to buy a ticket to get inside a club. You’ll want to buy your ticket in advance as tickets for New Year’s sell out fast! Also, prices are known to go up as New Year’s approaches.
The best way to purchase a general admission ticket is to buy them directly from the club’s website before New Year’s Eve. Waiting until the night of carries significant risks as the club may sell out, or you may have to pay an astronomical price at the door. However, if you must wait to purchase your ticket until New Year’s Eve night, then we recommend getting to the club before it opens for the best chance of making it inside.
Vegas Primer Tip: Look for club tickets that offer open bars until a particular time or “bar cards” that give you a gift card for drinks. These will save you a good chunk of change if you want an entry only option and plan on purchasing drinks inside the club.
Entry May Not Be Guaranteed
Also, it’s worth pointing out that most clubs have an “arrive by” time for entry on New Year’s Eve. They list this time because once the club reaches capacity, they won’t let anyone else inside the venue. So even if you’ve purchased a ticket, but you show up later than the arrive by time, you may not get in.
It’s also a good idea to check the fine print on your ticket to find out what time you need to arrive by for guaranteed entry. For your convenience, we’ve listed these times for each club below. Please note that times may be subject to change.
Bottle Service At Las Vegas Clubs On New Year’s Eve
If you’re getting bottle service at a club, then you won’t have to pay for a general admission ticket. (Your bottle service reservation gets you inside the club for free.) But, keep in mind that the cost of bottle service during New Year’s isn’t inexpensive. For example, it’s often double the price of what you’d pay on any other day of the year.
And on this night, in particular, the clubs strictly adhere to the maximum number of people allowed with each bottle service reservation. For example, if you reserve a table at Hakkasan and it has a maximum allowable number of eight guests, then only eight people will be escorted to your table.
If you have more guests in your party, the only way around this is to increase your bottle service minimum or the club may charge a cover for each additional person.
Similar to general admission tickets, the pricing for bottle service may go up the closer it gets to New Year’s Eve. In short, the sooner you book, the better the price. However, this rule only holds for clubs that take deposits or prepays for reservations (like the Wynn properties or the TAO Group). Booking at a club that doesn’t accept deposits (also called “name-only reservations”) may put you at risk for a price increase at the door if you show up to the club late.
Vegas Primer Tip: When possible, it’s a good idea to pay for your bottle service reservation upfront or at least make a deposit.

Best Clubs For Bottle Service On A Budget
If you want bottle service for New Year’s Eve and a great club experience without breaking the bank, check out Light or Chateau Nightclub. Additionally, for a mid-range price point, consider Marquee and TAO.
Best Nightclubs To Watch The Fireworks
Chateau is a top club to watch the fireworks. You’ll get to see Caesars Palace’s fireworks and also experience the show directly above you from the top of the Paris hotel.
Another fantastic option is at Apex Social Club. For instance, at this club, you’ll ring in the new year from the 55th floor of the Palms hotel. Head out to the patio a few minutes before midnight to watch the shows as multiple hotels shoot fireworks from their rooftops.
Omnia and Marquee are also excellent choices for watching the fireworks but only outside on the clubs’ terraces.
And although Lavo won’t be operating as a club on New Year’s Eve, you can still make a dinner reservation. There are three available seating times: 5 pm, 7 pm, and 9:30 pm.
Lavo’s patio is an excellent viewing location for the fireworks, and you’ll also receive complimentary admission to TAO Nightclub after midnight.
If you’re interested in going to Lavo Party Brunch instead, the club will be open on two days over the NYE holiday weekend – Saturday, December 28th and Monday, December 30th. Please contact us at info@vegasprimer.com for a price quote.
Tips For A Stress-Free Las Vegas Clubs New Year’s Eve Experience
- On New Year’s Eve, the strip closes early (usually 5 pm) which means that there will not be any Ubers, Lyfts, taxis or other cars allowed on Las Vegas Blvd. until it re-opens. If you want to arrive on the strip after 5 pm, then you’ll need to get to the hotels via their back entrances.
- Almost always Ubers and Lyfts are the transportation of choice as they offer the most competitive pricing. However, on New Year’s Eve, this may not be the case, especially if you need to get somewhere during peak travel times. Check your apps for a cost estimate before confirming your pick-up.
- If you do take Uber or Lyft, make sure you’re at the pick-up location before calling for a ride. For instance, rideshare services tend to cancel quickly on holidays if you’re not where you’re supposed to be.
- Guard your purses and wallets if you’re walking on the strip or even in the clubs. Holidays are notorious for theft, so keep a watchful eye, and you’ll be just fine.
*For bottle service reservations, all clubs in Vegas also charge approximately 37% on top of the minimum spend for their venue fee, tax, and tip. You’ll want to add this percentage to calculate the total amount you’ll pay.
