We've done the Rooftop party a few times when not staying in the hotel and waited until 1:30 or 2AM to leave because of the extensive crowds outside.
One workaround is to book the HR SYD and book an event at the PH. Guests of any event can watch from the location or the Boardwalk which the PH has leased for 99 years so is considered private. Only Rooftop guests, however, are allowed on L4. It's 10-15 mins walk between the two hotels.
Am I missing something regarding the rooftop... doesn't seem like the ideal spot to be watching NYE from. You can't really see much of anything assuming it's from the pool area, since the building itself is between the pool and the main view of the harbor. Or is there a different place on the rooftop that the party happens?
