I saw in the New Year this year in Las Vegas with a couple of Polish friends, which was a hell of a lot better than how I spent the previous New Year’s Eve!
We all arrived in Vegas a few days early for CES, so it worked out very well.
New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas is quite different. To start with they shutdown the entire Las Vegas strip to traffic from early afternoon. It was bitterly cold and we were all jet-lagged, so instead of joining the crowds outside on the boulevard we decided we’d watch the fireworks from my room in The Palazzo. When I checked in the evening before I was offered an upgrade to a room with a view of “the Strip”, so I took it.
The two guys I was with are both into “social” so they shared videos of the fireworks via just about every social network imaginable! I, on the other hand, just posted a short clip to Vine:

I also posted a couple of clips to YouTube – neither of which is particularly long. I was happier to watch and enjoy the fireworks than to spend my time focussing on capturing it all on video – sorry!
I doubt I’ll spend the next New Year in Vegas, but it was fun to do it this once.
