My friend and I, both 21 were thinking of going abroad for New Years eve this year, any suggestions for somewhere with a good party like atmosphere?

Thanks

good evening Joe.

i have seen - every year - they go nuts for the new year in times square, new york

New York is amazing at New Year.

Evening all,

That's number one on the list so far would be great to watch the ball drop and enjoy the times square buzz, daft question but I assume there's a load to do after? Any ideas?

[excelsior-1]

well it is a safe assumption that the city is littered with parties going on until dawn.

We were there 4 years ago for new year. We bought passes meaning after the ball dropped we could go into most of the restaurants and bars around Times Square. There are usually parties all over the place that you can buy tickets for if you can't get to Times Square.

Thanks guys sounds like all of my research is leading to this destination! Last piece of help I could do with and this may just be totally out of the question... Is there anywhere reasonably priced to stay around that time say.. 30th & 31st fly home on the 1st so just for 2 nights?

Paris is a wonderful place to visit for New Year - went in 2003/04. The hotel chain Campanile is very reasonably priced. Our hotel was extremely comfortable.

what is your budget ? Vegas springs to mind or Calangut Goa.

[joey88]

Well I have a free flight for my and my friend due to my mother working in the airlines so would probably go long hall to make it worth it. I did think Vegas as hotel prices look cheap?

(Cheaper than New York I meant.)
