Big Night New Orleans New Year's Eve Gala

The Hyatt Regency is claiming that it will host the biggest New Year’s Eve celebration in the Big Easy—that’s a pretty ambitious boast for a city with New Orleans’ reputation. But with performances by Bag of Donuts, Petey Pablo, Big Sam's Funky Nation, and many more, they’ve got the right idea. Add burlesque performances, aerial acrobatics, multiple party rooms and dance floors, and an all-night open bar to the equation, and we are willing to acknowledge that they’re definitely in the running. It’s an all-inclusive ticket, so leave your wallet at home and enjoy the food, libations, and entertainment without a care in the world. 21 and older. Tickets start at $94.99 without food included, or $119.99 if you want to gorge, as well. bignightneworleans.com.
