“For most, 2009 has been a year of belt-tightening,” said agency owner Catherine Brock. “Why not celebrate the year-end with a bang – especially since a New Year’s trip to Las Vegas is as affordable as it’s ever been.”

Casino hotels and clubs up and down the Las Vegas Strip (http://www.thecenterofthestrip.com)  have special New Year’s Eve calendars, with festivities ranging from the black-tie “Notorious 2010” event at The Mirage to the more casual “New Year's Eve at Carnaval Court” at Harrah’s. Several properties, including Monte Carlo, Aria, MGM Grand and Rio, will have multiple New Year’s Eve parties running concurrently. Vegas visitors may even experience a few star sightings: featured New Year’s Eve party guests include 50 Cent at Pure Nightclub, The Black Eyed Peas at LAX Nightclub, Nicole Richie at Lavo, and Eva Longoria at Eve in CityCenter.

Rooms in Las Vegas are still available for New Year's Eve, and at a variety of price points. Travelers who book a two-night hotel stay with BrockComm Travel receive a $25 Planet Hollywood gift certificate, while supplies last. Longer hotel stays and hotel/air packages also qualify.
