Yes, it\u2019s too soon to be thinking about New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

Still, Fremont Street Experience shared its New Year\u2019s Eve line-up, so just bookmark this story until you feel like hearing about New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll wait.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Too soon! You\u2019ll survive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This year\u2019s NYE party will feature live performances by Flo Rida, LoCash, Bow Wow, 3OH!3, Dylan Marlowe, Trick Daddy and Mike Jones.<\/p>\n

While that line-up may or may not knock your socks off, we\u2019re sharing the news for a couple of reasons, one awkward, one not.<\/p>\n

First, the not awkward reason: Fremont Street Experience\u2019s NYE party is freaking cheap. Early bird pricing is $50. It bumps up closer to the event, but even then it\u2019s really cheap compared to anything on The Strip on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

The other reason we\u2019re highlighting this line-up is it features a lot of diversity, in fact, it\u2019s the most diverse line-up in the history of Fremont Street Experience\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve celebration. By a lot.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the genres shake out: Flo Rida (hip-hop\/rap), LoCash (country), Bow Wow (hip-hop), 3OH!3 (hip-hop\/rap, pronounced \u201cthree-oh-three\u201d), Dylan Marlowe (country), Trick Daddy (hip-hop\/rap), Mike Jones (hip-hop\/rap).<\/p>\n

\u2014 Fremont Street Exp (@FSELV) October 23, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Full disclosure: We worked at Fremont Street Experience in digital marketing for six years and have been visiting the venue for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

For many years, Fremont Street Experience took heat for the lack of diversity in its bookings. There were a lot of reasons for that lack of diversity, but mostly it had to do with a perception certain artists drew crowds that could be problematic, but more relevantly, the belief seemed to be those guests weren\u2019t the best casino customers.<\/p>\n

Fremont Street Experience is the marketing arm of the casinos along Fremont Street. The organization\u2019s job is to bring folks downtown who will patronize the casinos.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s line-up is a dramatic departure from the usual band line-up at Fremont Street Experience, New Year\u2019s Eve or otherwise.<\/p>\n

For example, you\u2019re not going to find hip-hop or rap artists among the venue\u2019s collection of house bands<\/a>. Ditto Tejano or banda, despite the fact Latino-friendly dance parties spontaneously happen on Fremont Street nightly thanks to street performers with amps.<\/p>\n

Anyway, nobody talks about all this, as it is, in fact, awkward. But it\u2019s worth mentioning, because something\u2019s obviously changed. (And not just because the folks booking talent have changed, although, that\u2019s the case. They were just executing on directives from higher ups.)<\/p>\n

We trust concerns, warranted or not, are mitigated by the fact the acts involved aren\u2019t exactly current or edgy, so they\u2019re likely to draw an older crowd. The NYE part at Fremont Street isn\u2019t like the venue\u2019s other free concerts, it\u2019s a controlled, ticketed event.<\/p>\n

Sorry, no handbag dogs, if that\u2019s still a thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The issue of race and culture in entertainment isn\u2019t just limited to Fremont Street Experience, of course. This sensitive subject shapes a lot of decisions in Las Vegas. It\u2019s a whole thing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, props to Fremont Street Experience for changing things up for New Year\u2019s Eve and possibly beyond.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Something for everyone, except opera lovers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We\u2019ll let you in on another little insider secret: When it comes to ticket sales for Fremont Street Experience on New Year\u2019s Eve, the entertainment line-up doesn\u2019t make any difference at all. Big acts, cover bands, the ticket sales are about the same (within 5-10%) every year. It\u2019s not really about the bands, it\u2019s about the party.<\/p>\n

Access to the warmth of casinos along Fremont is easy on New Year\u2019s Eve, and Plaza is expected to do a fireworks show along with the virtual one on the Fremont Street Experience light show canopy.<\/p>\n

You can find the schedule for who\u2019s playing which stage on New Year\u2019s Eve on the official Fremont Street Experience site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
