Like our friends at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, we’re inspired by a side of Sin City that you might not even know exists — the real culture. Which is why when it comes to making travel plans for where to spend this New Year’s Eve, Vegas is tops on our list. Lucky for us, The Cosmopolitan is rolling out an exclusive, 3-night New Year’s Eve package that includes two tickets to a live concert featuring Jay-Z & Coldplay, access to the Marquee Nightclub and Dayclub Preview Party, dinner for two at the restaurant of your choice, and a New Year’s Day Brunch at Wicked Spoon. Book your stay now .
