Not sure what kind of budget you have for your New Years festivities, but the New Year's Celebration at the Embassy Suites Grand Pavilion Ballroom sounds like a good time if you're willing and able to spend a bit more than the Fox & Hound will cost (then again, you could probably still run up a $95 bar tab over the course of the whole night, plus dinner, and the hotel option is WAY cheaper than a DUI
