At this oceanfront tiki megaclub, a variety of scantily clad entertainers—flamenco stilt walkers, French can-can dancers, Moroccan belly dancers, fire throwers and aerialists—will help you ring in the New Year. You know, in case your party's fire throwers cancel at the last minute.
It's only logical to celebrate a night about the future at a futuristic venue. (And if there's one thing you're looking for tonight, it's logic.) Head to the Viceroy's 50th-floor club for glossy views of the downtown skyline and the fireworks over the bay—though DJ (and model) Sky Nellor ensures that the views inside ain't bad, either.
The indie burger bar kicks off 2010 by offering you a hangover-curing brunch of breakfast burritos, smoked salmon platters and build-your-own-omelets. And if those don't do the trick, the $20 all-you-can-drink Bloody Marys should.
If you have yet to check out Alan Yau's gorgeous dim sum temple, here's your excuse: the new dim sum lunch menu.

After a lunch like that, dinner might not be necessary.
