This year they had The Doobie Brothers playing live,a buffet with everything from filet mignon to crab legs and a firework show over the lagoon(I think,I didnt go)with a champagne toast at midnight.Grant you its not free.I think it cost $45 per person!!

It was over $100 pp and no one admitted under 21 yrs of age.

My DH and DD15 walked the perimeter to get to the parks and it took them over 1 hr to go 50 ft. It is packed, of course after midnight, you can walk a little easier.

Oh and if you are planning on staying at the Hard Rock, make your ressies now. That's the 1st hotel to get booked for NYE because a lot of the locals stay just for the night/weekend.
