Las Vegas Concerts You Can Check Out On New Year’s Eve

When it comes to a New Year's Eve celebration, people want to do things that are memorable. And there are not many moments in life more memorable than going to an amazing concert. Especially the kind of concerts you find in Las Vegas.

And this New Year's Eve is no exception. There are so many shows going on, the only problem (besides parking...we were all thinking it) is choosing which show to go to. To help out, here are a few shows in the comedy, magic and concert categories that might be worth considering for New Year's Eve.

If you're looking for music, Black Eyed Peas are rocking the Venetian both Saturday, December 30 and Sunday, December 31. Both shows begin at 8pm. Also at the Venetian both nights is Christina Aguilera. With a show starting at 9:45pm.

Bruno Mars is also playing both nights for NYE weekend. His show is at the Park MGM starting at 9pm. So you might actually get to do the NYE countdown with Bruno? Or you'll be right under the fireworks while trying to remember where you parked your car.

Kelly Clarkson is playing both nights on NYE weekend at the Planet Hollywood. Her show starts at 8pm. There's also Post Malone at Fontainebleau, Luke Bryan at Resorts World, and Demi Lovato at the Cosmopolitan.

If you want a comedy or magic show, you can choose David Blaine. He'll be at Wynn both Saturday and Sunday night. And John Oliver and Seth Meyers are still doing their stand-up tour at the Colosseum on New Year's Eve. If you need more options, vegas.com has a whole list of what's playing in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve weekend.

Whatever you choose, be safe and don't forget there are road closures happening on or near the Strip starting at 5:30. Here are all the Things To Know About The Las Vegas Strip For New Year's Eve. -Wendy Rush, 96.3KKLZ

You know on Shawshank Redemption...when the old guy is said to be institutionalized? Because he'd been in one place so long that the outside world wasn't even on his radar. That's where I'm living right now. After more than 20 years in Las Vegas, after countless New Year's Eve crowds. I've become Vegas-institutionalized. So much so, that when I saw we aren't the top city when it comes to post-worthy NYE photos. Let's just say it was hard to grasp.

But that seems to be the world we're in. The guys over at casinossweeps.com conducted a study of cities that garnered the most NYE-related hashtags on social media. Including the city names with the phrases nightlife, newyears and newyearseve attached. And they put together a list of the U.S. cities that have the most posted photos for New Year's Eve.

Now, that's not to say that Las Vegas isn't beautiful on New Year's Eve. I mean, with how much the city goes all out with the fireworks on the Las Vegas Strip. We can only assume that these other cities are pretty, but also boring. So while Sin City crowds are partying it up for the holiday, maybe others have more down time to get on social media. Or maybe NYE in Vegas is so crazy we end up unable to remember our own names for a day. Let alone remembering to use a hashtag when we post on social. Yeah, we'll go with that.

Las Vegas barely made the top 5 on this list. And not only that, but there are two cities that more than doubled her presence on social media. Specifically for those NYE hashtags. But we're not bitter. We don't need to be in the spotlight for EVERYTHING. It's just that we're so used to it. ;)

Ah, Vegas. She is so lovely. Tenfold with those fireworks lighting up the Las Vegas Strip. Coming in at number five on the list, with 40, 537,543 NYE-related hashtags on Instagram.

This one might surprise some people. Though Atlanta is a great city in many ways, you don't often hear about it when it comes to New Year's Eve. At least not over on the West Coast. But 43,328,642 Instagram posts indicate Atlanta is one of the most post-worthy places for NYE.

We can definitely see why Chicago made the number three spot on this list. Fireworks, reflected in water, over that beautiful skyline. Gorgeous. The Windy City racked up 55,907,215 NYE-related Instagram hashtags in this study.

It might be hard to remember sometimes when you're stuck in that L.A. traffic. But the city is really quite beautiful. Especially on New Year's Eve. And many people on social media agree. Los Angeles came in at number four with 83,266,470 NYE-related hashtag mentions.

Welcome to Miami! The number one place named most instagrammable for New Year's Eve. With a mind-blowing 90,505,113 NYE-related hashtags. More than double what Vegas did. Hats off to you, Miami.
