Capitol City, Washington, DC, USA, 31 December 2013, Midnight

Washington DC takes it's responsibilities as the nation's capital city very seriously, and on New Years Eve this manifests itself as the requirement to provide the most spectacular fireworks displays anywhere in the country. Crowds head towards Capital Hill and the National Washington Monument to watch the fireworks that light up the city skyline and all of it's famous landmarks.

You should be aware that in recent years, as austerity bites, there haven't been any official fireworks displays on the National Mall. Crowds will still gather there to celebrate, especially if the weather is fine, but if it's a large public display you're looking for then there are other places in the DC area with their own large fireworks - these include First Night Alexandria, First Night Leesburg and Nwe Year's Annapolis, Maryland, where the crowds gather to watch the festivities on the City Dock.

Imagine you are entering a vibrant city, with a hometown sports bar, shops, cafes, spas, and more. As you take it all in, you gaze up in wonder at the beautiful DC sky. Now imagine this city is INSIDE an awe-inspiring, glass-enclosed atrium that seems to span miles and provides only the most breathtaking views of the Potomac River, Georgetown and Old Town Alexandria. This is not a dream. This is the lobby of the Gaylord National Resort. A billion-dollar project and sister property of the world-renowned Gaylord Opryland, the Gaylord National Resort is by far, the most luxurious hotel resort property on the East Coast. DC has never seen anything like it.

Now imagine that the most extravagant New Year’s Eve gala in the nation has set its sights on this magical wonderland and is prepared to wow DC’s social elite in the most breathtaking way yet. You will roam freely from ballroom to ballroom to ballroom, with over a dozen enormous party areas – all overflowing with spectacular entertainment. Experience top-notch bars and world-class food at every turn. Experience a place where everything is included and the service is impeccable. Experience a New Year’s Eve like never before. Experience paradise at Big Night DC.

Other big events this year are Sin City NYE at Luck Strike DC, The James Bond New Years Gala at The Washington Plaza Hotel, NYE 2014 Masquerade Ball at the Howard Theatre and the Washington Odyssey NYE Dinner on the Gangplank Marina.
