Not expecting much since it's new year's eve, but hopefully there's still a slim chance for a surprise at checkin later.
I'm curious to hear about your NYE experience at this property as I'm planning the same. Currently pretty good point redemption value.
Is it worth just staying at the hotel to watch the fireworks? Or should I try to get to the Burj Khalifa?
