Fireworks
Channel 8 Eyewitness News wishes everyone a Happy New Year and the people of Las Vegas a Happy Centennial 2005!
Las Vegas is becoming famous for it's New Year's Eve fireworks shows -- the blasts of color in the sky, hundreds of thousands of people down below.
Once you see it, you know it's special. Fireworks cascading over the Las Vegas Strip, explosions of red, blue and green above hotels and casinos -- art meets architecture and the man in charge knows what's expected.
Phil Grucci, of Fireworks by Grucci, says, "Coming here the energy is so fantastic and people -- the audience here is very fireworks-savvy. They know what to look for."
Grucci says Las Vegas' New Year's celebration is beginning to rival, and could eventually surpass, Times Square in New York. It's a reputation that can't be earned if there's no show.
The fireworks were shot off the rooftops of 10 Strip hotels -- Excalibur, MGM-Grand, Monte Carlo, Bally's, the Flamingo, the Venetian, Treasure Island, Stardust, Circus-Circus, and the Stratosphere.
Now you can watch the video replay of Las Vegas' spectacular New Year's Eve fireworks over and over again.
