California for new years

Santa Monica, Venice, Balboa Island, Mulholland Drive is pretty cool especially at night. You can hike up Runyon Canyon, and for a great view of the city, Griffith Observatory. Go there around sunset, you can see the city by day then hang around till dark. Great view of the city.
Enjoy, I'm missing my yearly visit

Thanks

Las Vegas would be the place to be on New Years Eve although it will likely be expensive

Thanks for the suggestions.

I agree that Vegas will be expensive, I was even thinking of just doing something in downtown la, just hoping someone can give me an idea of anything to do in town.

I was in LA for Christmas last year and here is the best feedback I can give you:

Disneyland - get there VERY early as line ups are huge. Last year for a couple of days they closed off entry to the park at 10:30 as it was at capacity.
New year - there are lots of parties and shows so check la times or similar to see what is happening. quite a few clubs on sunset strip.
Hollywood - not that much to see TBH. A day maximum. There is a decent Cirque du Soleil show at the kodak theatre called Iris.
Runyon Canyon - this is a favourite of mine just to get out and walk. Always fun but if not in top physical shape take the clockwise path
