Ready or Not, Here Comes 2015



Disclaimer:  I received tickets for two to JA Nugget’s New Year’s Eve Dinner Dance with Big Bang Beat. All opinions are my own.

I’ve often wondered about the purpose of New Year’s Eve celebrations. Are we saying goodbye to events of the past 12 months and looking forward to a happier, more successful 365 days? Is the toast to say “Congratulations, you did great!”?

This year’s celebration at the Nugget in Sparks was spectacular. Music was provided by Big Bang Beat, San Francisco’s legendary party band. The large dance floor called out to the feet tapping to Mustang Sally. People got up to dance because it was the sort of celebration music where everyone could participate. 


 

No need for a partner; the room was filled with good vibrations and happiness. Diana Ross would have been thrilled at the rendition of Respect. There are several songs to listen to on their website.
You’ll see what I mean.







The food was sensational. Created with a stylish flair by some of the best chefs in the Western states, each part of the meal was delicious. The dessert was particularly clever with its chocolate 2015 banner.


The ambiance created an air of excitement, from the settings at the table to the glitz and glamour of the room. I feel this year’s celebration was designed as a pat on the back to everyone for good and kind things done in the past and a reminder that a new start lies ahead to conquer in style day by day!

Happy New Year 2015!

  12. We went to a similar party a few years ago. It was just me and my husband and we sat at a table with a bunch of others. As it turned out, they were all friends. So, we felt a little like outsiders. The food was amazing and the band was a lot of fun but hubs was being a dud and didn't want to dance :(
