Another year, I went from the Monte Carlo to the Bellagio and back on NYE, and that took far longer than normal.

I imagine that once I get off the strip, things should be fine, but that will depend on where I start. I was considering attending a performance of Love at the Mirage. It looks like Flamingo to Paradise would be the way to go if I walked.

I looked at the transit re-routing they did for the Las Vegas Marathon, and if it's similar for NYE, I may be able to catch a bus on Flamingo to Paradise - public transit is free on NYE, so this may be an option.
