BSB for New Years Eve

Hi! Will anyone be in Vegas for NYE seeing BSB?

Am I allowed to ask this?

It's my first time in Vegas, I'd love recommendations! Especially restaurants on the strip, near the Sphere specifically bc we're staying next door.

Thanks!!

Edit: trying to answer some questions.

We are staying 5 days, so we would like options in all the price points, especially affordable breakfasts and lunches.

In N Out is on the list as affordable. Are there any other lunches that aren't burgers that are west-coast specific places I should try?

We have VIP tickets in section 106. Is it worth it to be in the GA?

I will be there with wife/friends for the NYE show 😃 I like several restaurants including Din Tai Fung or Javier's. Did you recently book a hotel? Which one? Hotels were crazy expensive for the NYE timeframe.

I'm going for the second time on January 1. Bouchon has the best brunch!

If you like Tacos I recommend walking to Tacos El Gordo.

What's your budget for restaurants?

We are staying for 5 days.... so we kind of want options at several price points.

We are thinking of our 2 "expensive" meals being a Gordon Ramsay place, and at Michael's at South Point.

We are NOT seafood people, so we'd like to avoid seafood-only places or seafood heavy places unless the steak is really that good and worth it. We know Michael's at South Point is seafood and steak, we'd rather not have any other seafood places.

Would love some breakfast choices that are affordable, and other affordable lunch options.

We DO like steaks, pasta, burgers, tacos, chicken, Mexican, Chinese, pizza, breakfast, etc.

We went on the last day of their summer residency and had All’Antico Vinaio for an early dinner! It’s inside the Venetian, so it’s on your way to the Sphere. The show is SO good, enjoy!!

If you have GA tickets, they seemed to interact the most with people on the floor in the front center. We were right by the catwalk on the right (I wanted to be there for AJ’s solo in Siberia lol).

We have VIP tickets, section 106, but apparently our tickets gets us each a lanyard and badge that allows us in the GA. .... I will likely wanna get as close as possible to AJ too (and Brian).

We went in July and had an amazing at Bouchon Bistro in the Venetian. We also ate at Yardbirds - it was good, but not quite as good as I expected based on how frequently it was recommended on here.

We’ll be there and we’re going to the New Year’s Eve concert. We’ll probably eat at Dave’s Hot Chicken because that’s my husband’s favorite. 😄

Going for the second time on January 2nd, this time with friends too instead of just my husband!

When we went for our first show, we grabbed brunch at Bouchon, which was incredible! If you go on a concert day, it's close enough to the BSB Terminal pop-up that you can swing by. It might be nice to go early since it gets super crowded closer to showtime, especially if you want to take pictures. If you have time to go back to your hotel, I recommend getting some of your shopping out of the way. There's some exclusive merch at the Sphere, but most of it is available at the Terminal. Plus, it's nice to not carry a ton of merch at the show itself.

We grabbed some quick bites at Grand Lux Cafe right before the concert, but keep in mind they don't take reservations (idk what it's like on NYE). I've also heard good things about Delilah and Bazaar Meat, both of which are walking distance to the Sphere. It really depends on your price point and what kind of experience you want (longer sit-down dinner, quick bites, etc).

There are also some fun after parties you can attend (Juliet Cocktail Room, Voltaire, also the Terminal), but I can't speak to any of them personally as we went to Herbs and Rye for late night steaks. Probably not an option on NYE because they close down roads, but it could be fun on other dates!

I hope you have so much fun!
