THE PARTY: We are very proud to announce for the fifth year in a row, two of Atlanta's two largest annual New Year's Eve parties will be joining forces. With a combined 20 year track record, Lindy Promotions and USA Entertainment are coming together to bring you Atlanta's largest New Year's Eve party ever...THE DOWNTOWN COUNTDOWN!! Located in Downtown Atlanta, Hyatt Regency Atlanta is one of Atlanta's premier hotel properties. It's conveniently located in the heart of downtown Atlanta's Peachtree Center and in close proximity to the Georgia Dome, the Georgia Aquarium, Atlantic Station, World of Coca Cola, and CNN Center. Your all inclusive party ticket will include a 5 1/2 hour premium open bar, an array of the Hyatt's top notch cuisine, decorations, party favors, access to all 5 areas of entertainment, and Atlanta's largest balloon drop at midnight.

GREAT SERVICE:
With a ratio of one bartender for every 70 guests and 1 buffet station for every 150 guests, you won't spend your New Year's Eve waiting in lines. Capacity is limited to a very comfortable number.

THE CROWD:
The event attracts a mid 20's to late 30's crowd, but we welcome everyone and are known for attracting a diverse crowd, both ethnically and age-wise. We also attract a nice mix of singles and couples. With 6 party areas and themed rooms and 3 VIP lounges, encompassing an entire level and over 87,000 square feet of party space, the Hyatt Regency will have something for everyone!

THE PARTY AREAS:
Upstairs will feature the Centennial Ballroom (Atlanta's largest hotel ballroom with a 30-foot high ceiling) featuring live music by three national and regional bands along with a DJ spinning between sets and "Club '08’ in the Regency Ballroom featuring Atlanta's hottest DJ in a club-like setting plus the “Punchline Comedy Lounge” (located in the Learning Center Theater) with four comedians doing two shows that night. Downstairs will feature 2 great party cover bands in the “Local Licks Lounge” and for the rock star in you, enjoy live rock and roll karaoke at the "Atlanta Idol Stage" all in Hanover Hall. Also downstairs that is new this year will be the “Las Vegas Casino Room” in the Chicago rooms with DJ Marko spinning.

VIP AREA:
For those requiring something a little more special, Atlanta's Downtown Countdown will be offering an upscale, exclusive VIP ticket. The main VIP area will be located in The Hyatt's premier steakhouse, Avanzare. There will also be private areas roped off in the Centennial Ballroom and Club '08. A very limited number of tickets will be available and will sell quickly. VIP ticket holders will enjoy more upscale dinner and bar menus with the finest array of liquors, beers, wines and champagnes and will have a private area all to themselves as well as their own registration, will call and coat check.

THE DETAILS:
You must be 21 or older to attend the event. Dress is formal, creative black tie, optional...kind of like MTV Music Awards. We expect it to be fun not stuffy! So...for guys - jacket and tie or tux, funky preferred & for girls- cocktail or formal dresses, with creativity encouraged! NO JEANS OR SNEAKERS PERMITTED!

Please keep in mind, in order to maximize the fun potential, the regular party ticket areas offer very limited seating. While there is some seating available in 'breakout rooms', there is not seating for every guest. There is, however, a much higher percentage of seating per guest in the VIP areas.

Feel free to browse around the website to get specific information on entertainment, food and bar menus, VIP information, hotel accommodations and ticket availability.

Remember, this event sells out early every year!!! Plus, the earlier you buy, the cheaper it will be!
