As the final seconds of 2024 ticked away, America didn’t just ring in a new year—it soared into the future.
For the first time ever, Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve brought a dual-coast drone spectacular to life, illuminating the skies above both New York City & Las Vegas in synchronized celebration.
Over 20 million viewers watched live as the drones began their elegant choreography—sparkling champagne flutes, fireworks cascading like digital rain, and a brilliant countdown suspended in the air.
Magic at Midnight
And as the final seconds approached, the excitement reached its crescendo.
In New York, 1,000 drones ascended into the midnight sky, transforming the city skyline into a luminous canvas of wonder and imagination.
As the drones formed an awe-inspiring “2025” at the stroke of midnight, cheers erupted across the city and beyond.
The drones elegantly shifted, culminating in a radiant, awe-inspiring “2025” that blazed brilliantly in the midnight sky.
Then, three hours later, as the West Coast prepared to welcome the new year, the celebration reignited over the fountains of the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Reflected in the water below, another fleet of 1,000 drones soared above the Strip, mirroring the artistry and grandeur of their East Coast counterpart while adding a distinct desert sparkle to the spectacle.
Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve redefined itself in 2024 as a celebration not just of one moment in one place—but of many, shared by millions.
