NEW YEAR’S EVE IN LAS VEGAS: RING IN 2025 WITH THESE PARTIES AND ENTERTAINMENT EVENTS

CONCERTS

Anyma at Sphere Melodic house and techno producer and DJ Matteo Milleri, aka Anyma, becomes the first electronic music artist to take over Sphere, with his “End of Genesys” engagement running December 27 through January 1. Additional shows are scheduled for January 10 and 11, and each concert brings different standout supporting acts; on New Year’s Eve, Swiss duo Adriatique and U.K. rising star Massano will perform. Given Anyma’s multidisciplinary, technology-minded approach to live performance, these performances are sure to continue the expanse of what can be accomplished at Sphere.

Janet Jackson at Resorts World Theatre The pop icon’s 2019 run at Park MGM was one of our favorite Strip residencies of recent years, rapidly reeling off her many, many hits with stylish stage design and classic choreography. We’re expecting similar stellar presentation now that she’s back in Vegas to kick off a new, hopefully longer-lasting residency on December 30 and 31 at Resorts World—and if you can’t catch her on New Year’s Eve, 2025 dates run into Valentine’s Day.

NIGHTCLUBS
Tiësto at LIV Capping off an incredible year for one of the Strip’s most celebrated nightlife figures, Tiësto will pace the party at LIV Nightclub for Fontainebleau’s second New Year’s Eve bash in Las Vegas. The

55-year-old Dutchman spent his year rocking an unprecedented multi-club residency here at LIV and Tao Group venues, so it only makes sense for him to close out 2024 in grand style.
Lil Wayne at Drai’s Nothing against Kendrick Lamar—who will perform at Allegiant Stadium next year—but it certainly would have made sense to have New Orleans native Lil Wayne headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show at the Caesars Superdome. Maybe the next best thing to that mega-gig could be New Year’s Eve on the Las Vegas Strip, kind of a second home for Weezy, who will be back at Drai’s to celebrate the arrival of 2025.
