America’s Party 2012: The Las Vegas Strip closes to traffic around 6pm and fireworks will be launched at midnight from the top of Tropicana, MGM Grand, Planet Hollywood Resort, Caesar’s Palace, Treasure Island, The Venetian, Stratosphere and ARIA.

As a culmination to a full year of planning, Fireworks by Grucci has coordinated an 8 minute, 36 second program consisting of over 56,000 effects that will light up the Las Vegas Strip.  Fireworks and music will be in sync.

The soundtrack accompanying the fireworks will feature the Sal Soul Orchestra, LMFAO, Lady Gaga, Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer, and Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, Adele, and a finale from ZZ Top’s version of “Viva Las Vegas”.  You can catch the music live on local FM stations KOMP 92.3 and KXPT 97.1.  Both radio stations can be streamed live online.

Steel Panther is a glam metal band from Los Angeles, Calif. and are known for their profane and humorous lyrics as well as their exaggerated on-stage personas. Formed in 2000, the band was also known as Danger Kitty, Metal Shop and Metal Skool. Steel Panther succeeded in becoming one of the most popular tribute band in Calif., even winning a contest of “Best Tribute Band in the Universe.” Thanks to the increased popularity, their live shows began to be attended by a growing number of fans. Many celebrities have also appeared on stage during their concerts, including Dane Cook, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Tom Morello, Scott Ian, Tony Romo, Paul Stanley and many more.

Rock Sugar is a Los Angeles based band known for their mash-ups of pop music and hair metal from the 1980s. The band claims that the sound was achieved when the metal band was stranded on a desert island in 1989 with a CD player, plenty of batteries and the CD collection of a 13 year-old girl. Their mission is to mash-up just about every band of the eighties and nineties into one big mega-mix of classic rock goodness. If you like Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” they have them together in one song, “Don’t Stop the Sandman.” How about Queen with Motely Crue in “We Will Kick Start your Rhapsody.”

Wanted is an incredible replication of the music of Bon Jovi that was created with one purpose in mind, to have a fun concert environment. The band is based in Los Angeles and is comprised of professional musicians who embody the style, vibe and atmosphere of a live Bon Jovi show that plays to rave reviews and sold out venues.

L.A.vation is a Los Angeles, Calif. based U2 Tribute band that accurately executes the music and look of a U2 concert. L.A. Vation derives its name from the song “Elevation,” the third single released from U2 2000 album, All That You Can’t Leave Behind.

Fan Halen brings back the party-time, hard-rocking music of classic Van Halen with a true-to-life tribute to not only the band but the spirit of the era. Fan Halen sets the stage for a night with Dave, Eddie, Alex and Michael in a transformation that has been described as amazingly authentic.

Blasphemous Rumours is an internationally known tribute band that brings their powerful note-for-note renditions of Depeche Mode’s hits to each and every performance. Based in Los Angeles, Blasphemous Rumours was selected as the headline entertainment for the International Depeche Mode Convention in June of 2007. The band’s uncanny resemblance in look and vocals to the real members of Depeche Mode combined with a full dance performance and light show makes Blasphemous Rumours an incredible, high-energy tribute show that is not to be missed.

No-Duh mixes the experience and energy of a live No Doubt and Gwen Stefani concert with nostalgic visuals, styling’s and props of the original band, complete with costume changes for a complete high-energy, audio-visual experience.

INXSIVE is fronted by Australian native Brett Creswell, who gives the audience an authentic, live interpretation of one of the best loved front men of the 80′s, Michael Hutchence. Other band members are highly skilled, professional musicians that painstakingly recreate the sound that made INXS such an enormous success.

Rolling the Stones Jerry Greenberg the former president of Atlantic Records has called Rolling the Stones “the real deal.” Having been nominated for the 2009 San Diego Music Awards for “Best Tribute Band,” Rolling the Stones bring the legendary sound of the Rolling Stones that you won’t want to miss!

Led Zepagain takes their audience to a place that not only replicates a Led Zeppelin concert, but also captures the heart and soul of the world’s greatest band. A Led Zepagain show features all of the Zeppelin highlights, from the high-energy electric classics, to the beautiful acoustic works. From the moment Led Zepagain hits the stage, audiences will believe they’re the true tribute to the outstanding band.

Red Not Chili Peppers are one of California’s best Red Hot Chili Peppers tribute bands. They have a strong fervor for Red Hot Chili Peppers music and have the ability to get the party rolling at their concerts. Their utter devotion to the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound constantly keeps fans coming back for more.

Bonfire takes their audiences back to the 1980′s dressing and sounding identical to AC/DC. Playing classic AC/DC hits including “Highway to Hell” and “Back in Black” their audiences are guaranteed a good time rocking out to classic AC/DC hits.

On New Year’s Eve guests can purchase wristbands and enter TributePalooza through any of the Fremont Street Experience member properties or at the gates located at the intersections of Fremont Street and 4th Street and Fremont Street and Main Street. Parking is available for a $10 flat fee at Fremont Street Experience’s parking garage on the corner of 4th Street and Carson Street and at most Fremont Street hotel-casinos. Member property sales are located at Fitzgeralds Las Vegas Gift Shop and cashier, Four Queens Hotel & Casino casino cage, Fremont Casino and Hotel, Main Street Station Casino and Hotel, The California Casino and Hotel, Golden Nugget Carson Tower Front Desk, Binion’s Gambling Hall Casino east & west casino cages and the Golden Gate casino cage.

Glen Templeton
Glen Templeton is a Southern-born, Southern-bred musician-songwriter and one of country music’s most promising up and coming stars. Templeton claims he never chose country music, country music chose him. Throughout all his other jobs, country music kept calling his name to move to Nashville and pursue music career. His claim to fame started in 2008 when Conway Twitty’s daughters hand picked him to portray Conway, the lead role, in the touring musical production, Conway Twitty: The Man, The Music, The Legend. Since then, Templeton has played at several country music events including performance on CMT, The Grand Ole Opry, The ACM’s All-Star Jam, Country Jam USA, Cheyenne Frontier Days and numerous state fairs and festivals. His likes, looks, and talent have captured the attention of Black River Music Group. Templeton released his first single “I Could Be the One” earlier this year which has debuted at number 58 in the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Song chart. Glen Templeton’s voice is described as one with a rich traditional country with a hint of rock and R&B. His album entitled, GT, is soon to be released later this year.

Lee Brice

In addition to his vocal success, Lee Brice is credited to have co-written singles for super stars Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, and Adam Gregory. Currently, Brice is finishing up his tour with the 10th Annual CMT on Tour starring Luke Bryan and Josh Thompson.

The LoCash Cowboys consists of a country music duo including Chris Lucas and Preston Burst. Add to that Jeffrey Steele, one of Nashville’s biggest names in songwriting (“The Cowboy In Me,” “What Hurts The Most,” “My Town”) and producing (Montgomery Gentry, Keith Anderson), and you have a trio of talent and energy that is the LoCash Cowboys. Currently touring the southeast US, both country superstars developed one of the most dynamic live shows that any genre has to offer with their energetic stage presence and vocal capabilities. Their debut album, This Is How We Do It, is a fitting introduction to a compellingly charismatic duo and includes hit singles such as “Here Comes Summer,” “Keep in Mind,” and “You Got Me.” These honky-tonk style Cowboys are also credited as co-writing Keith Urban’s 2011 single, “You Gonna Fly.”

Exile
