USA -

Immerse yourself in the view from atop the Empire State building before you visit the runways of New York City where stylish trends from around the world are shown off by the fun & exquisite..  Journey out west to San Francisco and take a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge before you fly across the Pacific to bask in the sun as you sip a tropical drink or two on the beautiful beaches of Hawaii... Dance the night away as some of the best DJ's from around the US spin some top40s, electronic, mashup, 80s/90s, alternative, rock, & hiphop tracks!

And just before the clock strikes twelve... pick up your glass of champagne before gatherring beneath the massive balloon drop, the largest in San Francisco!

Europe

Wow! As soon as you walk into this amazingly beautiful room you'll be in awe of your surroundings. Majestic 25-foot tall columns reminiscent of the Roman Forum. Stroll through the vast gardens of Versailles, then whisk your date away to the top of the Eiffel tower to sneak a kiss. After your many excursions, enjoy some late night dancing as you release yourself in the sexy/progressive house and electronic dance music spun by some of the most incredible dj’s this side of the Atlantic.

And as the last seconds of 2011 tick away, get set for another huge balloon drop in this room that stretches across the entire continent!

Asia

Enter in through the gates of the Far East and sample the numerous Asian delicacies at the local night market... and remember to rub the big Buddha's belly for lots of luck when visiting those mysterious ancient temples. Be sure to taste the stimulating elixirs served up by one of the many bartenders before you get Shanghai'd by your friends to explore the other regions!

South America

The allure of the international beats and sexy grooves will tantalizes your senses from the fabulous beaches of Rio to the vast forests of the Amazon. No rest for the weary as you'll have to trek up the steps of Machu Pichu after a crazy night of partying Carnival style with the super tan and toned locals
