Known for its casinos, its lofty high-rise hotels, and its glitz and glamour, Atlantic City is one of the country's best New Year’s destinations for anyone in search of a party.

Most of the city's hotels, casinos, and nightclubs host special New Year's Eve events, some of which are themed and many of which include open bars.

Fireworks can be seen from the boardwalk at midnight; you'll need to show up well in advance if you'd like a prime viewing spot.

An annual Polar Bear Plunge is held at noon on New Year's Day for anyone willing to brave the cold.
