New Year’s Eve Ball 2011

The liquor at this multiroom venue doesn’t stop flowing until 8am. A full 12 hours may seen like a long time to be drinking and dancing—even if there are four dance floors and multiple DJs spinning—but the fire displays, aerial acts, stilt walkers, snake charmers and live after-hours performance by the Bloody Beetroots will keep you from tiring too early. And make sure you head to the main room at midnight when 100,000 balloons will drop. Elsewhere, DJ Jess presents a holiday edition of his lewd and lascivious rock and electro shindig in the the Balcony Lounge. Alt-porn star Joanna Angel and her Burning Angel cohorts serve as the alluring hosts; bands and go-go artists complete the picture.
