Las Vegas, Nevada will be open for New Year's revelers, but it will be somewhat restricted on The Strip and on Fremont Street, compared to past years.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal:
The Fremont Street Experience will remain open on New Year’s Eve, albeit with less pomp and circumstance than in years prior.
The six-block entertainment district will act as a pedestrian walkway to those 21 and over Thursday evening. Those who want access to the area and its hotel-casinos from 6 p.m. on will be charged $25 for a security fee wristband and will be required to go through security screening.
The walkway will close at 5 p.m. on Thursday for a security sweep and reopen at 6 p.m. for those who have a wristband or are staying at the hotels along the Fremont Street Experience. There will be no live entertainment or bands, but the SlotZilla zoom-line will run between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m., according to the Fremont Street Experience’s website.

And, on The Strip:
LAS VEGAS (kSNV) — New Year's Eve is still a couple of days away but already people are showing up to ring in the holiday, despite the pandemic.
"We're still going to be here. Why not? Where else are you going to be?,” said Dixon Rice. He and his family are here from California.
They say they chose Las Vegas in part because it's still open. "A lot fewer, a lot fewer restrictions," said Dixon.
Nonetheless, this year's festivities will be different, specifically, no fireworks launched from Las Vegas Strip.
