LAS VEGAS, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- New Year's Nation (NYN), a high-end events and promotions company that leverages technology to create simultaneous social experiences for young professionals in major markets around the country, today announced that Las Vegas has been selected as one of 10 host cities for NYN's simultaneous New Year's Eve celebration. The national New Year's Eve party, hosted locally at the Paris Las Vegas hotel's ultra-lounge, Risque and Ah Sin restaurant, will feature onsite entertainment by DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spin Diesel, DJ Mark Mac, DJ Crime and DJ Poun and a live, nationwide performance by Travis Barker and DJ AM (TRVSDJAM) through NYN-TV.

The concept of the nationwide, simultaneous party was born in 2006, when NYN CEO Jann Yogman hosted the first NYN New Year's Eve party in five U.S. cities. This year, Las Vegas will join NYN's New Year's Eve celebrations in Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York City, Philadelphia, Portland and Seattle for a simultaneous nationwide party across four time zones.

TRVSDJAM will unite on stage to headline the NYN celebration live from NYN's Los Angeles New Year's Eve Party at The Lot. The TRVSDJAM set will be streamed live in high-definition (HD) quality on the Internet at www.newyearsnation.com, and broadcast live to NYN parties across the U.S. through NYN-TV, a live, HD quality broadcast powered by BitGravity, a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for interactive broadcast. Through NYN-TV, guests at the NYN party in Las Vegas, as well as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, New York City, Portland and Seattle will be able to see TRVSDJAM's performance live on giant projection screens and dance to their music.

"It doesn't get any better than Las Vegas on New Year's Eve. Our parties will be great everywhere, but it's going be hard to top the energy of the Las Vegas Strip," said Jann Yogman, President and Founder of NYN. "Paris offers the perfect location for NYN to ring in 2009. Risque and Ah Sin will join together to form one amazing venue on New Year's Eve. Throw in great views of the fireworks, world-class entertainment, gourmet food and an open bar that pours all night long and you have the formula for the hottest event in town."

Live footage from NYN celebrations around the nation will be featured on ESPN during the "Red Bull: New Year. No Limits." New Year's Eve event in Las Vegas beginning at 11:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. PT on December 31, immediately following the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

Guests at the NYN Las Vegas party will also be able to watch the "Red Bull: New Year. No Limits." jumps by motocross star Robbie Maddison and driving legend Rhys Millen.

Maddison, will jump his motorcycle more than 120 feet high and land on the top of the 96-foot-high and 40-foot-deep replica Arc de Triomphe in front of Paris Las Vegas. Upon completing the jump, he will then drop off the Arc and freefall 50 feet to a massive landing ramp below. Millen will attempt to become the first person to ever backflip an off-road truck at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

For partygoers attending the Las Vegas event, NYN's attention to detail and commitment to creating an unforgettable, entertaining and hassle-free evening sets it apart from all other New Year's parties. The party will feature:

• Pre-sold, all-inclusive tickets sold to a number of guests that can fit comfortably in the venue - no packed spaces, velvet ropes or lines that wrap around the block.

• On-site entertainment from DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spin Diesel, DJ Mark Mac, DJ Crime and DJ Poun, in addition to the TRVSDJAM set that will be streamed live to the nation.

• A premium open bar all night with a guest-to-bartender ratio that ensures all attendees will have easy access to drinks.

• Gourmet passed hors d'oeuvres & food stations, champagne upon arrival and at Midnight.

The Specifics

Date: 12/31/08 - 1/01/09
Time: 8 PM - 4:00 AM (Doors open at 7:30 PM)

Risque, the nightclub at Paris Las Vegas, is perfectly located next to the main entrance and two stories high overlooking the famed Las Vegas Strip. Touted as an ultralounge, its entrance gives an introduction to the sophisticated feel of the establishment. A red carpet staircase leads to a fork that separates Risque's two rooms - the Salon de Privee, the more personal and sensual of the two rooms and Le Grand Hall, the spacious and high-energy space where all the action takes place on the elevated dance floor.

Ah Sin is the "Pan Asian Parisian" dining adventure made more spectacular by its open-air, indoor and outdoor patio seating along the sidewalk of Las Vegas Boulevard. Ah Sin features Japanese sushi, Chinese noodle specialties, Korean barbecue, Thai satay, Mongolian, Malay and other tastes of the Orient. A tribute to its French-themed resort home, Ah Sin offers indulgent French desserts to complement its exotic entrees.
