What's more exciting than welcoming the New Year with a blast? Different countries celebrate New Year's Eve in many forms, but there are a few places that really go over the top to make the experience unforgettable.

According to New York Times, New York is one of the many places where you can find the greatest New Year's Eve celebration. Times Square, in particular, attracts over 1 million dwellers to celebrate New Year's Eve. The tradition has been witnessed by the local people for more than 100 years now, and those who wish to have the best spot when the event happens can go to New York Times Square as early as 10 a.m.

Las Vegas is another go-to place when you want to experience a one-of-a-kind New Year's Eve. The Strip usually closes down for vehicles at around 3 p.m., after which tourists and dwellers can start occupying the place and wait for the night's event to start.

In Las Vegas, people come to see the fireworks display at Caesar's Palace and The Venetian. Since the event is being participated by thousands of people, expect the fireworks display to be spectacular and lively. The Mandalay Bay Events Center, The Venetian, Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood also have their own shows featuring Hollywood celebrities and singers.

If you are somewhere in Orlando, Florida, you might as well dwell on the massive firework display that usually happens at Sea World, Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios. A midnight champagne toast is one of the most anticipated highlights of the night, and if you're somewhere near the Atlantic Dance Hall, you're in for an exciting dance party accompanied by a live band. The Orange Ball, as they call it, is similar to that of Times Square. And although it is not as popular as the latter, it also drops 60 feet in the air followed by impressive fireworks display.

Hurricane Katrina did not dampen the hearts of the people in New Orleans as they also celebrate New Year's Eve with a bang. Crescent City Countdown Club sponsors a great fireworks display that usually happens along the Mississippi River. The 15-minute fireworks display is accompanied by an eight-foot fleur-de-lis with aluminum ribbons and decorated with LED lights dropping in Jackson Square. The said fleur-de-lis is a symbol of New Orleans' courage after Hurricane Katrina.
