This year the New Year's Eve fireworks will not be set off from hotel rooftops. Instead they'll be shot from nine locations, some from the ground and some from parking garages.

One reason for the change is the Monte Carlo fire earlier this year. Fire officials were concerned because so many hotels have similar foam facades and they didn't want to take any chances.

If you can't make it to the Strip, you can catch all the action right here live on Channel 8.
