It’s time to buy a new calendar, but why stop there? Why not celebrate the new year with a new do or some fresh drip to head out to the latest hot spots?
One of the best places to zhuzh up your style has to be Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. This retail destination has everything from clothes to shoes to accessories to beauty essentials! Shoot, you can even get a new tattoo to head into 2026 feeling a little more daring. There’s plenty of good dining here, too, but if you’re looking for a heck of a party, head to Cabo Wabo Cantina’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve Bash. Starting at 9 p.m., this Stripside party offers bottomless cocktails, endless eats and a phenomenal view of the city’s fireworks.
Now that you’re stylin’, it’s time to button up the details—hair and nails. Head to Westgate Las Vegas’ Serenity Spa and Salon to experience … well, serenity! Choose from relaxing massages and body treatments, rejuvenating facials and skin enhancements and luxe nail and hair services to create a day that will leave you with a polished glow when January hits.
With a new look locked down, what better way to transform yourself than learning a new skill? And why not learn a skill that comes in handy with guests while you’re at it? Check out the Mixology Masterclass at The Cabinet of Curiosities at Horseshoe Las Vegas to learn how to make craft cocktails in one of the coolest bars on the Strip. You’ll discuss flavor profiles, drink-making techniques and beverage history, all while learning to make some irresistible libations. Students even get to develop their own cocktail!
Speaking of drinks, the refreshed version of you has to know about one of the hottest new openings on the Strip. Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce, an iconic burlesque nightclub, is reopening in its original spot at Mandalay Bay on New Year's Eve. The speakeasy-style nightclub operated during the early aughts and has returned to bring more stunning performances, great music and memorable nights out.
Another spot you should add to your rotation if you haven’t yet been is Legacy Club at Circa Resort & Casino. This spot has been around for a few years, but stepping off the elevators to the 60th floor feels like the first time every time. This chic lounge offers one of the best views in all of Vegas, and it’s made extra luxurious by plush seating, warm lighting and a great bar. Spend New Year’s Eve here to enjoy Countdown in the Clouds, a party that offers a three-hour open bar, champagne toast, bumping beats from live DJs and premium firework viewing.
If your New Year’s resolution is to party a little less, check our AREA15’s Zone 2 expansion. After opening earlier this year (or last year, depending on when you’re reading this), the new section of the AREA15 entertainment district is welcoming exciting new vendors and hosting fun events constantly. NYE brings two events, Oddyssey NYE and the NYE Masquerade Ball, but stop by any day to experience Universal Horror Unleashed, Malibu Barbie Café and so much more.
