Miami

With its world class nightlife scene, Miami is a no brainer for New Years celebrations, and the city offers celebrations both free and VIP, and everything in between. (Thats not to mention the average temperature of 75 degrees.) The festivities in downtowns Bayfront Park start at 8 pm and include dancing and fireworks at midnight; in South Beach, Lummus Park on Ocean Drive hosts a party from 9 pm to 2 am, which also includes live music and fireworks. For party people, Miamis glitzy hotels host exclusive events with big name acts, open bars, and private fireworks displays to boot.
