Asia - What to do in HKG 12/31/04?

My wife & I will be passing through HKG on New Year's Eve this year -- obviously not Chinese New Year's, however. Is there any expat-type destination or event where we might amuse ourselves? We're staying in Central, should be into the hotel by 6pm or so.

Any insider's tips are welcome. Thanks very much...

If you are into big street parties with thousands of people then Lan Kwai Fong is the place to be...

It will be very crowded, noisy and alcoholic (and there will be flow control on people so you can only walk uphill), but if that's your thing...

I have posted this exact same post for a couple of times, but since New Year Eve/ New Year is not really that big in Hong Kong, unless you want to go to a crowded place with drunk people, this is something that I'll recommend:

If you want sea view, and a little fun, you can try The Excelsior http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/517000001.asp . Cafe on the 1st http://www.mandarinoriental.com/hotel/517000348.asp offers a buffet on Dec 31 and count down with everyone in the cafe. I was there last year, and it was quite fun. Hotel staff handed out party stuff and participated in the count down too!

This is added/ new:

If you really want to spend in an expensive and nice and/ or romantic dinner, you can try Mandarin Grill at the Mandarin Oriental.
