Despite the colder than usual temperature of about 30 degrees, a record low for December 31 in Las Vegas, more than 320,000 people came to enjoy New Year's Eve on the Vegas strip.


At midnight, all the casino resorts along the strip synchronously shot off their fireworks.





Las Vegas Blvd. and some surrounding roads were closed to accommodate the large influx of party-goers. The city's Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) waived all bus fees after 6 p.m. on Friday to 6 a.m. New Year's Day.

Remembrance Sunday

A police officer stands in front of a barricade where a parade was supposed to pass through near Parliament on Remembrance Sunday, an anniversary of the end of hostilities of World War I. It turned out that the section of the road we were standing at was barricaded for no reason; the parade went in another direction, and upon asking, even the police didn't know why this particular road was closed off.
