Las Vegas celebrated the arrival of 2025 in grand style with “America’s Party,” an eight-minute fireworks display launched from the rooftops of nine iconic resorts along the Las Vegas Strip:

  • ARIA Resort & Casino
  • Caesars Palace
  • Fontainebleau Las Vegas
  • MGM Grand Hotel & Casino
  • Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino
  • Resorts World Las Vegas
  • The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower
  • TI – Treasure Island Hotel & Casino
  • The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

For the first time, the Sphere served as the city’s official countdown location. Its Exosphere, the world’s largest LED screen, featured a custom content show that counted down to midnight. This display positioned Las Vegas as a global destination and Sphere as a landmark, concluding its “New Year’s Eve Celebration,” which highlighted major cities worldwide as they welcomed the new year.

Las Vegas anticipated over 340,000 visitors for New Year’s Eve, solidifying its reputation as a premier celebration destination.
