New Years in Abilene

It's just a day away...New Years Eve. Now if you're like me you still haven't quite figured out your plans to bring in the New Year. I've heard of several people heading to the Metroplex for some final 2009 celebrating...However, I have found out that there are several fun options around town. Here are some ideas, just to name a few.

Let's start with the overnight packages at some of our Abilene hotels. The Hilton Garden Inn is having a PARTY! If you want the "getaway feel" but don't want to travel. Rest assured...you can get it at the Hilton. For $199.95 per couple, you can get a room, dinner for two, breakfast, admission to the party and dancing (with TNT Mobile DJ), four cocktails included, and the rest at happy hour prices all night long. The Hilton will also be bringing in a TV for everyone to watch the ball drop!
And if you're single and looking to mingle, don't let the couple pkg turn you off. After 9 o'clock, you can get into the party for $10, which does include your first beverage.

The MCM Elegante is also hosting a New Year's Eve "Stay with us" package. For $189 per couple, you get a two-room suite, an evening reception from 5:30 to 7, a buffet dinner for two (from 7-8:30), a dance (featuring Taylor Made) which begins at 8:30 and goes until midnight, party favors, a Champagne toast at midnight, and a full cooked to order breakfast on New Years day. *Let it be known that this NYE party is also themed...80's style!

And if you're not looking for a place to stay but just a place to party. You've got several choices.
For those of you wanting a fancier night out. The Warehouse Downtown is a martini bar, and on New Year's Eve night you can get in for $20 a person, which includes a champagne toast. And if you're wanting a "bigger city" night life experience, you can even get VIP tables and bottle service (price ranging depending on size of party) You can call the Warehouse at (325) 675-9644 for more information. That party begins at 8 and goes until midnight. This is a 21 and up party.

The Lucky Mule Saloon is having another party on the South side of town. You can get in for $10 at the door and expect a $500 balloon drop. The DJ will be playing the best in country and top 40/hiphop. They're even staying open an hour later (closing their bars at midnight but dancing at 1 am). This is an 18 and up party.

So for those of you wanting a night out on the town...hope the above ideas can help out! Hope everyone has a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!
